Was advised job would take approx 6 weeks, completed in 6 months. LM communicated poorly, often blaming poor reception for not returning calls and traffic, illness, and mechanical problems for failing to meet. Roof was constructed using felt typically used for shed roofs and of such quality that it could be torn by hand. Felt was extensively nailed provided leaking opportunity and was patched up in places. The roof failed 3 times before I had it replaced by another builder, the roof has been fine since.
LM laid an uneven floor which slopes from the inside of the room to the door despite having a blank canvass to work from. Option to either use a smaller door or to raise the door was not applied to correct the slope.
LM plumbing led to dirty water emptying from the dishwasher into the washing machine and a leak that has caused damage to the internal tiles and external brickwork. When placing the RSJ no mechanism was used.
LM gathered some family and friends to maneuver the beam which subsequently was placed in such a way that has caused movement beyond the usual settling cracks.
LM advised that he had no money to repair anything and said we should contact his insurance company.The insurance company advised that they could not pay out for faulty workmanship.
I feel there has been a lack of ownership from LM to correct mistakes. Please visit my facebook page https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100011647904130 the pictures will tell the graphic story.
