My experience with this firm was receiving an enquiry from Patrick Mansez from Elkay Properties Limited as a potential customer for the replacement of existing staircases on five floors.
His original enquiry was poorly and unprofessionally composed and as they were not able to provide a single architectural or structural tender drawing which would be the normal for this type of enquiry politely sent a scripted email response stating "Following receipt of your recent enquiry unfortunately we will not be submitting a proposal on this occasion. Thank you for your interest in our company and hope you find a suitable contractor".
I had thought that was that and subsequently received three further emails from him which had increasing levels of negative undertones which for me is the early warning alarm bell that there was no way on earth that our firm wishes to get involved, as historically people that are difficult from the start of a project will be the same all the way through the process.
Having read the other reviews regarding bad service, incompetence, poor communication and rude staff would like to add bad attitude to the list which was representative of my experience on this and hopefully only occasion.
This review is based on my encounter when dealing with Patrick Manse and not necessarily representative of the firm as a whole, that said he may be following their business model by the sounds of the other reviews.
For the sake of curiosity I spent a few minutes undertaking a due-diligence report of the firm prior to writing this and since there incorporation on the 25/02/2012 they have been in the position of having to discharge numerous County Court judgments which is an indicator that they do not have the ability to resolve disputes, fall out with people and lose in court.
I have decided to give a two star rating which is based on the fact that they have stayed in business for this long and guess it must be related to their Central London location. read more
