I wish I'd read the reviews prior to him carrying out any work!! Had asked Carl to supply and fit 8 Oak doors - he supplied/fitted 6, all of which were all shredded at the bottom where he'd cut to fit, and had threaded most screws. Demanded full payment after the first day, when two doors were still outstanding. And whilst waiting for me to leave work early, to bring his money (otherwise he would not finish the job) - he 'helped' himself (stole) some beer and crisps from my cupboards (cans/bags in 'non-recycle' bin, which I had to fish out!). I paid for the two remaining doors upfront..and not the work...and he never came back to finish work. Taking door money as payment. (£160 overcharge as result). Plus had to buy all new doors/fitted again to rectify shoddy work!! My neighbours also requested work from him whilst doing my job (not known by me until afterwards) he also messed up their doors too!! DO NOT ALLOW THIS TRADESMAN TO CARRY OUT ANY WORK!! read more

Avoid this man at all cost. He is a liar, an absolute chancer and a con man. He is not a joiner at all, just a man with a mitre saw that he can't use and a couple of chisels. He's a disgrace to his profession and gives good honest joiners a bad reputation. We paid to have 5 doors, door frames and Architraves fitted and he told us that it would be a 2 day job and everything would be complete. Day 1 - turns ups late and only for a couple of hours, rips the existing out, damages all the plaster and dumps the waste on my drive way, blocking my garage door. He doesn't even have a van so I had to spend a day taking it all to the skip in my car. Day 2 - didn't turn up because his 'car broke down'. Day 3 - turns up late again and only for a couple of hours. He fitted the door frames, doors and a few Architraves, cock up the bathroom lock, didn't fit a lock to the bedroom as requested and I have to say at this point that it's the worst workmanship I've seen. My mum could cut better mitres than him with a bread knife. He then pressured my wife into paying almost the full balance whilst I was in work and he said he would be back to finish the following day. Day 4 - no sign of him, finally get in touch with him and he's now in hospital with a 'brain tumor' and won't be able to work again until after Xmas. That's a sad story but if you get a friend to call him off a different phone number he is fit and well, taking on new work and looking for his next victim. All in all, the guy is a disgrace and having given him £600 I have to buy new materials and spend the next few weekends sorting out the mess he's made. read more

Very cheap, but you get what you pay for which is a bad job. I had a new window fitted, and another window repaired. The seal around the new window is worse than if I had done it myself and the window shelf has an inch gap underneath so it lets in a terrible draft. The fixed window never was fixed and I had to pay someone to come back out and fix it again. Nice guy but I would never use again. read more

This guy is quite possibly the most unreliable and unprofessional fool in the business, steer clear as he will ignore your calls and block you if you try to contact him again. Many others in the business that are fine but he gives the industry a bad name read more
