Bathroom fitting
(Updated on 24 Jun 2023)THIEF LIAR FRAUD TAX AVADOR! Avoid like the plague. I handed over nearly £1300 deposit to have a bath fitted a very small wall in a tiny bathroom tiled and the old shower taken out and another put in. Also, needed a water resistant plasterboard put on the ceiling, when the plasterers turned up, they said they couldn’t do it as it was peeling and they needed to put the water plasterboard up when I phoned arsh he said I wouldn’t need to have it done. I did explain I would as this is how my Stephen got wrecked in the first place. He just went ahead and told them to do it anyway. Also he said it would be £250 to take the rubbish away as it went. Someone came by and picked up a radiator, the shower screen and a few other bits . There was only a bit of rubble left which he took away himself?!?!
First red flag. Well he said I need you to tell me as soon as possible as I’ve got quite a few other people lined up for the job to start on Monday. Also wanted that amount of cash upfront when he was only spending £120 on tiles. He also then asked for cash which I paid into his personal account. He turned up on the first day with a very young apprentice that was virtually the last. I saw him he kept on sending his apprentice and to do the work. I did speak to him to say I’m not very happy about that as obviously he was doing lots of plumbing work that at the time had a few leaks going. When he stopped, turning up and ignoring me, my whole ceiling was wrecked. Left the unfinished jobthief
Answer from tradesperson:
Hi joanne this is shocking behaviour. 1 your deposit of £1200 by bank transfer for materials, plaster man and rubbish removal man which you have brake down of cost on your quote . There was no cash given only bank transfer. 2 my Aprentis had one leak which we repaired. Ie you ask for £300 of labour cost for the inconvenience shocking . 3 your behaviour when I was working at your home made me feel uncomfortable especially shouting at you young daughters 4 the work was 90 percent finished just bath panel to do. 5 you clearly didn’t have the money to pay me so we walk away from your job without being paid for labour. 6 you messaged next asking for the deposit for materials in full . 7 you are not we’ll need cancelling
