Very poor experience. Service fell well below professional standards. Lack of transparency around payments, including upfront requests without invoices and charges for materials not provided. Work was incomplete, rushed, and of poor quality, with multiple defects. Property left messy with damage and waste. Communication and accountability were poor, with no follow-up after payment. Intimidating pressure to pay before issues were resolved. Would not recommend.

g hours to mitigate this, but that proposal was declined. I also have a recorded telephone conversation in which your manager acknowledged that we were being rushed and confirmed that a resident with dementia was moving freely through the property throughout the day, which made safe and continuous working impossible. In light of these circumstances, we reasonably concluded that the working environment was unsuitable for the safe and proper completion of the contract. As prev

Stay clear. Will take your money. Do half the job and walk away

full receipts. On that basis, I am approximately �300 out of profit, not you. Furthermore, during the course of the works we were required to strip five layers of existing wallpaper. This was not included within the original scope or price � only limited wallpaper removal was allowed for � and resulted in a substantial increase in time and labour undertaken at my expense. Progress on site was repeatedly disrupted due to residents and staff moving through the working areas. I proposed working during evenin

This guy came and quoted and made soo much promises. Started the job as agreed. Took 50% down payment and halfway into the job started demanding the balance. He was given half of the balance. Thereafter stated with excuses. He has problems at home. The car is broken down. His mate didn�t turn up. Stop picking calls. In the end, didn�t turn up again. �7500 out of pocket with half job done. Left paint all over the floor. Left rubbish and just walked away. I will stay away from this tradesman

Winston, for the record, the works were proceeding in accordance with our agreement until we reached the downstairs areas, at which point we were subjected to persistent pressure to accelerate the programme beyond what was reasonably practicable or professionally acceptable. Your assertion that you are �7,500 �out of pocket� is incorrect. The factual position is that I incurred labour costs of �7,000 for two painters over a 20-day period (�350 per painter per day), plus �800 in materials, for which I hold

The bottom line is, YOU quoted for the job. No one forced you to take it. You took the �7500, did part of the job and disappeared. I do not need to go back and forth with you. The �2500 is not yours and you can�t say I�m free to take it. No tradesman will do the job is your opinion. I am 100% this is not your first doing this, and will not be your last. I have moved on, please do I will NOT recommend anyone to use you. That�s purely based on my experience
