| | Kitchen | Came to redo my kitchen.
Brought down the wall plaster for no reason, created a big hole in the kitchen for no reason, removed with axe my kitchen door I never seen again!
He hooked a 32amp hob to a 12amp circuit using a kettle lead he stuffed at the bottom of a smeg oven, so each time I switched on something the whole fuses would collapse.
He then decided to build a gazebo in my side garden, I did not asked him to do.
Told him not to come back but I had to pay people to remove all the wood left in my side garden and of course to redo most of the kitchen and the tiling.
A very expensive small kitchen! |
| May-June 2019 | On the A12 seen an advert back of a van, bathroom revamp in Brentwood |
| | External side wall cladding | Done a bad job cladding which then had to be rectified by another company. They also replaced for colour purposes the gutters back and front but as soon as it rain the 2 gutters drop.
When asked to fix Nigel came, looked up, looked at me and said: 'Oh Pat, don't let me look I suffer from vertigo, ask somebody else to fix', but he had to fix then venge himself using his colleague, I cannot name for legal reasons, to (obvious reply to bathroom revamp request) come down charging me deposit and material then never come back.
Just horrid! |

| | Bathroom 1st attempt | Came to take my deposit then asked me for more money to order the bathroom items. He then took all my bathroom items away and never came back (linked to the wall cladding company). |

| | Bathroom 2nd attempt | Sent a request via checkatrade to xx building services, following which appointment was made via mobile.
2 guys came at my door claiming to be working for xx building services.
They asked me for money and started putting things in my bathroom I did not asked but then was asked to pay for, there was a brown kitchen unit there. When I told them they started to blackmail me and I reported them but nothing ever happened.
They scam me for over 3000! And never been punished for it!
I had witnesses who said they been seen working for large site for xx building services but their director denies they ever worked for him! |

| | Bathroom 3rd attempt | Was booked to redo the bathroom (plastering, tiling, shower, sink, toilets) in December 2020 to start end of January. Price 5000 was supposed to be for all plastering, tiling, shower, sink, toilets but I had to purchase the tiles, the sink, the tap, pay the plasterer, a tiler and the painter!
So the only things the 5000 was for were the shower, the toilets and the (bad) installation. He refused to give me the receipts (so one wondering if not second hand), though he was paid, and most of the plumbing had to be redone as the toilets system not working properly, water escaping from taps and sealing around the shower needs to be redone.
He still driving around in Chelmsford! |

| | Hot tub area and back garden | Made 2 pergolas same size.
Built half of it ending up in my conifers edges, pointed out to them this could not be. They were not happy about a woman telling them and became very rude.
Did not anchor feet into the existing concrete.
Roof of each pergola had to be redone.
At the time he was and still is advertising, he had no insurance, and the postal address is not right, cannot find his company in company check. |

| | Main House roof | My dream was to have my house white with a dark grey roof. B xxxx came to clean and paint the roof of the main house, unfortunately 3 months later the paint was wearing off so had to have it done again and he refused to visit because of the covid lockdown, but then I found he was working elsewhere, just do not want to fix what he has done wrong! |

| | Conservatory | Ordered a conservatory, a very nice sales lady visited but then disappeared after I paid the requested deposit.
They cancelled twice, then refused to refund me.
Managed to get my money back thanks to a solicitor who prepared a letter, but they retained 1000 saying it was for the survey. So they got 1000 for nothing!
Found they have another conservatory company that is in liquidation! |

| | Tiling | I have lots of jobs to do and he was going to do it all, so he claimed!
Started by tiling a small room, I purchased the terracota tiles, the grout and the adhesive and he visited 4 days before to inspect what I bought to make sure he would be able to work with those, he said it was all ok.
Came on the booked day though late, spent around 1 hour before disappearing, came back then excused himself not re appearing before late evening.
Not tiled up to the walls and his excuse was that 'I might want for the walls to be tiled!'
There are sticky and cloud white grout everywhere including outside the small room. |

| | Back of property | He started well and I kept my promise in paying the full amount plus as he asked for more,
but he was supposed to come back to create channels for the water to drain, he did not and further more when I asked him, his wife called me threatening me, telling me that she will make sure nobody would ever work for me. I think he is now working for a water facility company. |
