Man Ho or Calvin Ho' or Man Fu Ho, who owns Carve Engineering Co. Ltd. He also has a Hong Kong branch carve-eng.com . I didn't know he subcontracted the whole project to a group of Chinese mainlanders who couldn't speak English. And he asked a British Gas gas engineer to sign off the plumbing work. I obtained the planning in December 2021. The work started on 31/1/2022 and almost finished now 19/9/2022. It supposed to end in three months time as they promised. It's only a single storey side extension and shouldn't be left unfinished with pipes broke. The workers only came to work once a week and sometimes the work stopped for a month or so. The price included the purchase of a boiler and installation. But there's no timer or thermostat and I was asked to purchase these and install them with extra cost. The workers' van broke down five times and they didn't turn up for five different days. There's no windowsill and they called this a standard window people would install. The exterior wall was painted inconsistent to our original wall and I had to argue to get them pebbledash and repainted. They left the fences on our neighbours. The pipes are still leaking. Shower leaked for 3 months. They even charged extra for the electricity sockets they installed in our kitchen. They took down the mains water supply switch and never install it back so our house has no in house mains water stop valve! They didn't hoover and didn't have a hoover. Avoid this company!

Highly unprofessional behaviour. After agreeing the contract/price both on "Whatsapp" and "Mybuilder", the tradesperson didnot turn up to do the job on the day, saying that the job is not worth of their time. Quite disappointed with this attitude.

Would not recommend Lee Hughes. I’ve been overcharged for the crap work he has done. Job Should have taken 7 days. After 29 days I sacked him and told him not to come back. I’ve employed a decent builder to rectify & finish the work. He continually pestered me for cash. I’m a pensioner and was an easy target to extort money from.

Scam. Paid 180 pounds for a balcony balustrade installation. The screws came off after a few weeks- I asked to come and repair them and he never showed up. He even blocked my number. Such a disappointment.

Restoration & Refurbishment- 28 Jan 2023
We hired VEO building contractors for chimney removal . The work has not been done to the good standards. The guys who removed the chimneys left the house with a lot of mess . After the chimneys were removed the plastering job was not done properly. The walls were not levelled . We sought independent advice from other builders and they agreed with us that after the removal of chimney the plastering job has been done to poor standards . We contacted VEO building contractors to resolve the issue but they didn’t bother to pick up the phone and later refused to rectify the problem.

Avoid Phil and KPM Construction (South) Ltd like the plague. My experience with Phil was beyond the worst I’ve ever experienced with a tradesperson. I’m sure Phil will respond and attempt to place blame on me. I understand from other customers and trades he uses that they will say similar to me. The job started in July last year (was meant to be finished within a few weeks) was never finished and it was only a month ago that we finally got our money back - probably one of the lucky ones. He has caused a huge amount of stress and wasted time to us. We chased him many times and he would ignore us for weeks on end, coming up with numerous excuses of why he couldn’t do the work, including blaming us. His lack of professionalism is beyond me and we had no choice but refer him to trading standards during the process. I’m just pleased we were able to find another builder which has provided some perspective in terms of how truly awful our experience with Phil was.

Works that should take 2-3 weeks end up taking several months and still incomplete. Will now have to appoint a new contractor to rectify/complete unfinished works. Very disappointed with the service provided.

Restoration & Refurbishment- 4 Oct 2022
These are not professional builders - they are thieves that take your money and do not show up to work - These are crooks !! - Do not use them. The work that they did was completely superficial just as to show they were doing something. Feel free to contact me for more information on these people. I believe also they are using illegal workforce.

Conversions - General- 6 Feb 2023
Sorry this is long: our experience differs to most on here. We chose Better Living to do our side and rear extensions from start to finish. All was good until the subcontractors finished the main structures, then it all went downhill. Ben rarely answered his phone, texts, emails etc., and because they had started a bigger project elsewhere they repeatedly abandoned ours, often for weeks at a time. Even when we went on holiday, they had the complete run of the house for two weeks but did very little. Ben deliberately held up work for two weeks after receiving a stage payment a day late, having given us one day to pay after emailing an invoice. Beyond the main structural jobs their work was often sub-standard and our instructions were not followed due to poor communication between the team. Out of frustration we eventually took a lot of work off them and drafted in other tradesmen to complete the project, also doing some of the work ourselves. We have since had to have some of their heating work rectified by engineers. Not saying everything was bad, but fact is the list of problems and poorly completed jobs is too long to list here. They finished at our property over three months ago and have still not sent us the completion documents. As usual, Ben is not responding to our attempts to contact him. Despite being hospitable to their team, we feel we were treated shabbily by BL and sadly would not recommend them.

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.
