If you are contemplating hiring Anthony I strongly recommend you read this first.
My dealings with Anthony turned into a nightmare; I needed help from my lawyer friend to stop him threatening me. Anthony gave me a quote of £2250. Two days before completion, the bill went up to £5180. When I refused to pay that amount, he threatened to come back every month to collect the difference and to take me to court.
• I hired Anthony to re-do my bathroom which involved moving the toilet & pipework, installing a towel radiator, wet room shower and tiling
• He gave me a quote (not estimate) of £2100 for labour & an estimate of £150 for materials. Told me if and when materials exceeded budget, he would keep me updated
• A week in, he updated me on extra costs: £287 for materials and a confusing email that seemed to read £320 extra for labour. I asked for confirmation of the costs which he didn’t provide and carried on with work
• Two days before completion, he gave me a new bill of £5180 (original quote £2100 + £880 for materials & £2200 for extra labour)
• In the end I only paid a total of £2100 which shows he was trying to rip me off
To make matters worse, the shower panel was not fitted according to manufacturer’s instructions and is now leaking. He also damaged my new floors. When I sent him photos of the damages he said I had fabricated the photos. This feedback will probably be met with excuses. Please feel free to contact me to get proof (emails, texts, photos).
