Absolute cowboys
Absolute cowboys. They’ll promise you the world and present themselves as experts, friendly and professional — right up until they’ve taken your hard-earned money.
The reality of my experience has been completely different. The standard of work has been appalling, and some of it has been so badly carried out that it is genuinely dangerous. This isn’t simply a case of a few cosmetic issues — I’ve been left facing thousands of pounds in additional costs just to put the work right and make it safe.
Once they had been paid, communication became a completely different story. Calls and emails were ignored, leaving me to deal with the consequences and the expense of correcting work that should have been done properly in the first place.
I’m sure I can’t be the only person who has been left in this position, and I strongly suspect there are many more people who have had similar experiences.
And if you ever visit the apparent showroom and workshop, the state they’re kept in should speak for itself. It certainly didn’t give me confidence that I was dealing with the professional outfit I was led to believe I was.
Do your homework before handing over any money. Read the reviews, look into the company properly and check its financial history. Don’t be taken in by how confident, friendly or knowledgeable they appear at the start.
For me, the consequences have been extremely costly and, more importantly, potentially dangerous. Thousands of pounds out of pocket to rectify work that should have been done properly in the first place.
