Extensions- 25 Aug 2020
I did my due diligence on Vullcan, but things went downhill. After a week i got a pre-tax invoice for £3000 for a more "complex" drainage system which was already completed, this was the start of them trying to get around contract items and look for every way possible to charge extra fees which i can’t go through in the word limit here. When that dint work they refused to do the work. e.g. they literally installed a tempered glass sheet, with liquid glue on my roof and stated to me that this was a "roof window". I had to show them buildings regulations that this was unacceptable and illegal especially when our contract said it has to be a VELUX ROOF WINDOW! Promised a 6-8 week completion, this is 9 months later. I had now paid about 90% of the original bill and 100% of additional costs. The final payment was due after completion and a 2 week snagging period. But the demand for payments started, with threats to sue. This was laughable as they hadn't completed the job. •The roof was leaking •Electrical issues with the fuse box and multiple light /electrical points •Outstanding items •The buildings controls company stated they would not be able to sign off on the building work because of outstanding issues, which I wouldn’t have even known as they lied stating they HAD the certificate. I agreed to send a FULL payment to an escrow company and pay HALF of the costs so they can complete and fix safety issues but they refused! Shameful experience.

Garden Maintenance- 23 Apr 2019
Caroline responded to my ad on 04/04 to say she would be available 11/04. I agreed to wait & gave her the job. 10/04 I contacted her (via txt), only to be told that she would not be doing my garden the next day. I replied saying I was disappointed with the sudden change of plan. I also told her that my landlord has threatened court action if the grass was not cut within three weeks. I then asked how soon will she be able to do it and how long will it take to do? It's now 23/04 and I am yet to receive a response. My time has been wasted!

Painting & Decorating- 31 Oct 2020
Unfortunately I was very disappointed with the service I received from start to finish. When confirming the quote with Mel the night before work was due to commence, he increased it. Mel informed me no spare key was necessary and would still be working when I arrived home from work, this was not the case, my property was left unlocked with my neighbours ‘watching it’ which Mel did not have my consent to do so. Overall Mel and Frank have very little attention to detail. The edge finish overall was poor, the bathroom tiles had been painted on when doing the edge of the bathroom walls. A dark strip has been left on the ceiling where he clearly painted on the ceiling by mistake and tried covering it over, when I addressed this Mel said it was like that before, when it definitely was not. Walls were not prepared throughly, areas where photos had been hung up we’re still visible. The woodwork was still yellow, and needed another coat. He also forgot to paint a side of a door. I informed Mel that I had taken down my blinds so the work could be carried out, so not to cover any existing holes for the blinds, this was ignored and the hole for the pully mechanism was covered. In conclusion Mel returned the next day in an attempt to rectify my dissatisfaction. The job was improved, but the result is not of a professional competent painter, and I now have to repaint the ceiling myself. Mel takes no accountability and is not honest from the price to errors made.

Painting & Decorating- 19 Nov 2019
Ben provided a good quote to do the job but even though he was initially supposed to start on the 12th of November, he cancelled 5 times!! He was literally promising to turn up and then sending a message to cancel the day before, sometimes on the actual day. He used various reasons (the rainy weather, his dad taking ill, the cold / frost, etc) even though I had other workers doing jobs at the same time at our property, and if they could turn up I'm not sure why he couldn't. What was very clear was a distinct lack of work ethic and an unreliable attitude to doing the job from the start. Whilst I empathise with his dad's situation, I would certainly not recommend him and would encourage others not to rely on him.

Whoever was subcontracted did an awful job, not professional in the slightest. Connor did come round to try and sort out the mess but it’s still not where I wanted it to be. I now have to remove all the incorrectly applied lining paper and pay for it to be done again.

We hired Jon, booked him a few weeks in advance. Have cleared the bedroom ready for him to work, sleeping on the mattress in the lounge.. text him to confirm the appointment 2 days beforehand, got no reply. Then the night before, he tells me he’s now too busy and wel have to wait until the end of the week. I’m now stuck for a decorator for tomorrow. Not impressed.

Painting & Decorating- 1 Jun 2020
A lazy guy you had to constantly push to deliver a professional result his expensive fee merited. When pushed he can acheive the right finish but no way worth the aggro. Got psycotic about payment schedule despite not setting one. Scary guy. Constantly favoured saving money for himself over professional requirements. His grout work was poor(did himself to save money) and abandoned. He even removed material removal from the job without telling me to beat other quotes. I had to dump all the messy heavy materials! Unacceptable. Tiling poor on window sill: abandoned. The simple electrical work was wonky and off job instruction and abandoned. He left paint all over the block exterior. He knew all of this so abandoned job for another of more money. Doesnt care as he doesnt get any work from here, he says. This is why. Stay well clear.

Garden Maintenance- 21 May 2019
even though he did a good job he only came once, run over my lawn mower lead and had to repair it, which took a while. he never returned any of my calls then when i did get hold of him he had cut his finger with a chain saw (supposedly) and was unable to come but if i hadn't rung a second time i would have been left with no one, so if you want someone who is unreliable then he's your guy.
