Fit aluminium French doors in place of window & door.
This contractor ripped me off £1500. I booked him almost 2 years ago to fit bifold doors. After a £1350 deposit, paying another £150 for building regs then weeks of delaying and coming up with various excuses I finally confronted him and he told me to ‘get my doors elsewhere’. He didn’t refund my deposit despite saying he would. I reported him to the police with extensive written evidence - but it was eventually deemed a civil matter after he claimed I changed my mind, despite the police officer telling me they’d ’come across’ him before and with all my evidence he felt sure they’d get him for theft. The whole experience triggered serious health issues for me hence the delay in leaving a review. There isn’t room here to detail the experience (though I’d happily share my evidence) but he’s a scammer and I am just starting the process of taking action against him. I seriously wonder how he’s got 59 all 5 star reviews here when genuine excellent contractors have lower scores.
Answer from tradesperson:
Thank you for taking your time to write us a review - You orders doors for us that were bespoke Aluminium doors that were already made and ready to install, you cancelled the job and we were left to foot the bill, our supplier have a record of this and we had to resell these doors resulting in us loosing money, if anyone lost money and were scammed, it was us. Our high 5 star reviews are down to us being very good at what we do. Thank you.
