This is the worst of the sort you could ever encounter as a trading company. My Kitchen is incomplete after paying £9000 upfront. They are a bunch of professional liars from receptionist to Boss. Once you have paid, they have no time to listen to you. Do not trust any salesman in there. STAY CLEAR !!!!! Their 10 year guarantee doesn't exist. There is no policy documentation for it. NOT RECOMMENDED EVEN TO MY ENEMIES.

Ripped off (through bad & dangerous workmanship, use of shoddy materials & taking money up front off householder customers without then doing all paid work for/without supplying costly materials) various householders in Surrey & London. We currently know of/have spoken to others, & this similarly  included him/his firm ripping us off. 

 

Those other householders he ripped off included an elderley lady in failing health/a woman pregnant at the time. His Federation of MAster Builders membership proved worthless, uncluding the workmanship warranty under that scheme. Axa insurance who gave him PI cover also dropped him and did not pay up for damage. The Courts do not seem interested in tracking down. It would be good if you can find out if he is trading as a builder (maybe under a new name)/ have him name & shamed + perhaps put on telly.

Asked for money upfront, but when questioned about timescale and workmanship,pulls men off job leaving work incomplete and dangerous. Employs illegal gas installers i.e non corgi registered to install gas central heating. Over priced. Does not produce invoices. Uses bullying tactics to get a result.

We are still trying to put right the damage done to our property by this company. May have to take them to court but not sure if it will enable us to recoup our losses. They appear very efficient but this is far from the truth particularly where new technology and high quality work is required!!!

Very bad roofer. Was called in to fix a leaking flat roof, overcharged me and didn't fix the problem. On calling back won't admit that his job was below standard and re-quoted me for additional work to fix the initial problem for which I had already paid

VERY POOR SERVICE WOULD NOT USE THEM AGAIN AND WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE. We employed this person to tile a shower/room & bathroom, did shower room was paid. He left several messages on our answering machine that he had been delayed, he did not turn up to complete the job, does not answer his business phone,result we have now to find someone else to finish the job-to say we are annoyed would be an understatement.

Didn't fix the leak, broke numerous promises to return and fix it, broke two promises to refund our money, address on invoice and in yellow pages is not theirs! Occupier of address given has reported them to trading standards because she is fed up with people arriving at her house trying to get money back.

 VERY POOR SERVICE WOULD NOT USE THEM AGAIN AND WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE. We chose them because they were in the Quality Mark scheme.  However they blocked the drain and just went home leaving it overflowing, left tips of old cement in several places in the garden, a lot of large pieces in the gutters, didn't repoint the chimneys all the way to the top (not enough scaffolding) and charged for doing 3 hips when they only did 1 and a half, painting a spike silver to make it look new.  When challenged wanted to come round with all his men.  Did finally accept a reduced payment, but impossible to recommend.

For two women, I thought the ladytilers were very professional and offered an excellent range of products. They asked for a deposit for materials and kept me informed all the way through the job. I will be recommending these 2 lovely women and wish them all the best.

Your experience here - Paid cash up front for a fitted kitchen which i was not happy with Phoned several times and wrote but got no response. Now they are saying they have no record of my complaint and my 12month warranty is up and I would have to pay £67 for their surveyor to come and take a look. The kitchen is a mess with the veneer lifting, hinges rusting plus severel other faults.

Took them 10 weeks to do loft conversion that was supposed to take 10 days. Some days not coming till 4pm, some days not turning up at all. Had to be pushed into finishing the job, then wanted money NOW. Also had "soft soap" stories as to why he needed the money quick!! DO NOT USE THIS FIRM!!!!
