Tiling- 19 Jun 2022
At first Erlind was very nice and did the tiling for us, however we had agreed on a quote that included him also fixing the vanity in our bathroom, in the cloakroom and other small jobs. Some of the furnitures took some time to be delivered, so Erlind agreed to come back at a later time to fix everything. We had a friendly relationship, so we paid him in full for everything he agreed to do as we trusted him to come back. He came back once to check what was left to do and said he’d come the next day to fix everything. We asked him to do some more stuff as well and mentioned we would obviously pay him for these extra tasks and he kept saying “don’t worry about it.” Unfortunately, he never came back the next day and has ignored every single one of our calls and texts since then. In terms of his work, he didn’t fixed our bathtub tap straight, he damaged our bathtub and said he would fix his mistake but instead he just put some white tape over it. The whole experience was very disappointing, he’s never come back to complete the job despite receiving the money for it. We were naive in thinking we could trust him but he is very unreliable, dishonest, unprofessional and untrustworthy. I do not recommend this builder.

Handyman- 20 Sep 2022
The contract was for 9 hours of work. In the end, I was charged for 10 hours. They argued that the handyman did not take a break. The worker was from 0900 to 1700. 8 hours minus short breaks. I would not recommend this company.

Restoration & Refurbishment- 22 Nov 2022
Scam. Paid 180 pounds for a balcony balustrade installation. The screws came off after a few weeks- I asked to come and repair them and he never showed up. He even blocked my number. Such a disappointment.

After accepting the quote a date for proposed works was put forward which we accepted. Ricky cancelled the day before which we were understanding of. He then put forward an alternative date a week later which we also accepted. He then cancelled the day before again. Another few days passed and he then told us he no longer wishes to accept the job. 3 weeks of messing around with Ricky and back to where we started!

Kitchen Fitting- 9 Apr 2023
I would never hire this amateur tradesman again. He didn't finish the work to my expectations.. . He may be a good carpenter but inexperience. Door frames were scratched due to carelessness. Unit from one wall was shorter than the other wall. Ruined my electrical sockets .. Furthermore he continuously switched on his radio all day long WITHOUT my permission! Always complaining and didn't accept any responsibility when making mistakes. Cheap labour thus tacky/cowboy workmanship. Also there was no business address on the invoices. I was wondering if it is legal for tradesmen to conceal their business address??

Plastering- 5 Feb 2019
Avoid at all costs!!!!!!! Absolutely awful job. Now have to get someone else in to make right what he has done. Walls uneven, chunks of plaster all over the place. Different thickness. Holes and gaps all over the place. What was a simple skim and plaster now involves stripping back to brick and having platerboard put on before skimming costing twice as much as original job. I am happy to be contacted by anyone wanting to see photos of exactly how bad his work is. I am also putting his details out there on other tradesman sites so that people know to avoid and hopefully don't get caught out

Painting & Decorating- 24 Oct 2022
Very stressful working with them as they kept coming up with cunning ways to get more money. Told me that they had painted my kitchen in 3 coats but it was a lie. They made me buy two extra buckets of paints for the third coat and ended up using just a little from both buckets, what a waste! Didn’t bother covering up my floors and appliances while painting and ended up making a mess of my stuff. Not sure what they cleaned my hob with but now it’s got permanent marks on it. They also neglected some corners in the kitchen, now I have to do pay someone else to complete their job. Major regret!

Plastering- 9 Oct 2022
Absolute disaster. There were two guys here for two days just to do a 12m2 porch. Made an absolute mess of it, drag marks, lumps, rough unpolished plaster and mess over the whole job which will have to be totally redone. Do not hire this guy, he has no idea what he is doing. Totally unprofessional.

Demolition- 17 May 2022
Friday agreed on 550 for concrete slab demolition and removal the next day. Slab turned out to be thicker than expected, and told too heavy for removal. Changed price to 450 without removal to account for extra work because of thickness. Work done well. Checked invoice would be sent on Monday. Document sent that night (Saturday) with no company information, only my name, and the price doubled to 900. Then received dozens of calls and texts Saturday and Sunday urging payment. Refused to pay without invoice, correct amount, and I wanted to check company registration, didn't have a chance to on Monday. Monday evening organiser Pip (Mandip Craig?) and Megal Morris/"Devon" who did the work, arrive on my doorstep, force their way into the door and demand payment. Husband calmed situation and ensured a valid invoice was sent on the spot, payment made by transfer, they left. Very unpleasant.
