Do not trust this man! He did a runner without completing the work, and the work completed is shoddy. Avoid like the plague, and save yourself the headache

AVOID AT ALL COSTS My first mistake was to ignore an earlier scathing review. I only required tiling, all tanking was completed in advance, so decided to overlook the questionable plumbing/electrical feedback in a previous review. My experiences and the behaviour described appear to be entirely consistent though. Alex completed the tiling of the wet room to a poor level – he was unable to deliver a level tiled surface in a number of areas despite a fully Marmoxed room to work with. The toilet could not be fitted to the frame as the tiling was so inaccurate there was an enormous amount of rocking. The most serious problem was his inability to lay a level floor, critical in a wet room, and we have a number of areas of pooling. Having been given a perfectly level tile friendly Hardibacker surface to start with this is inexcusable. He agreed to return and rectify these faults, came back, smashed out several tiles on the walls and the floor then disappeared never to be seen again. At the time he claimed he needed to go and pick up some tile adhesive which seemed reasonable. A few minutes after he left I noticed he had taken his tile cutter which of course he would have needed on his return. This set alarm bells ringing. I looked at the wet room more carefully and knew that was going to be the last I would see of him. When removing the tiles from the floor he had damaged the under-floor heating cables. He made a clumsy effort to disguise the fact with some tape before his exit. After a couple of hours I received a text message claiming that he had been involved in an accident and that he would be in touch. After several days of ignored calls and messages I sent an email and received a reply claiming that his phone had been stolen and this was the reason his unresponsiveness. He promised to come the following Friday to finish the job. Needless to say he failed to show up, ignored calls, text messages and emails throughout the day. I knew he was in possession of his phone and proved the fact by getting my partner to call from a number he would not recognise. She was promised a call back by his partner – of course it never came.

The quote was provided quickly and the work carried out on the arranged day. After giving time for the floor to harden I found it was very uneven and sloped in two directions. I have had to correct it by applying a floor screed. Also some rubbish was left in the rear access passage behind the houses. It was agreed that it would pick it up but it wasn’t so I had to remove it so it didn’t obstruct the alley way for my neighbours.

Turned up on time. Did not try to add any costs.

Cannot comment on glen's work but disappointed with his reliability. He came across as a decent tradesmen, but following a number of visits to assess the work didn't turn up as scheduled and has not returned calls or texts.

AVOID Adil is a smooth talker who hasn't got a clue about work in the industry. Employed to refurbish a full house. A SUMMARY of issues follows. 1 - Plastering done is uneven. 2 - Did not allow plaster to dry before painting walls so already peeling off. 3 - Found number of areas where holes had been left, and had these not been pointed out would have been left. 4 - Wood not sanded before painting, incl. new skirting boards. 5 - Threats when I refused to pay!
