Stay away from R M CONEY Carpentry

I contracted R M Coney Carpentry to build 4 fitted wardrobes for my daughters' bedroom and units and shelves for the kids TV.

This was back in july 2017. we agreed to start on 10th July and finish end of July. To this day the work is unfinished, the snags have not been dealt with and the overall finish is poor. Reece is unreliable, uncommunicative and make decision with regards to changes to the work without your approval.

Reece started work a day later than agreed, but did not let me know, I had to call him/message/ email him to find out what was going on.

He would then turn up one day and disappear again without any explanation. I have a full list of message trying to find out where he was and whether he was turning up or not. When he does turn up, there are no apologies or explanations as to why he had not turned up.

I have been trying to contact him now for a few weeks, but he is deliberatly ignoring my messages, even my last formal email advising him that I had taken legal advice and giving him a chance to finish the work as agreed.

I must add that he has been paid in full, so i could add Dishonest to my list...

Following on from what FFoster said, we have hired a number of different people to carry out work for us, and I have noticed that the minute someone has been paid in full they almost NEVER come back to carry out snagging or repairs.


I am experiencing this right now with 2 contractors - one carpenter and one plumber. I wish I had waited a week before paying them both. If I had I would have realised there were problems with the work and I could have withheld payment until it was completed properly.


I will now NEVER pay on the same day and wait until I have fully checked and re-checked the work.


But I learnt the hard way and I wish I hadn't.

      We could not be happier. Brian and Malachi were wonderful to have around the house while they were working. The result is 5 star and with Brian's direction the route we took was better than what we had planned. We love the look of our house it has totally changed the feel of the property and transformed it into a house we are proud of. Thank you so much for your great work. Not one hitch and felt really taken care of from start to finish. I cannot recommend them enough.

      I wanted to provide a strong recommendation for Nick Minnes and his team. I came across Nick when someone on our street was moving out shortly after we moved in and posted on our street whatsapp group with their top ten best trades people in which Nick was listed as a handyman+. We had just moved into a house that had been lived in for 40 years by a couple in their late 80s so there was a lot of work to do! Over the last 5 years, we have used Nick on multiple occasions. The definition of handymen+ does not do Nick and his team justice as they do so much more than this. The work they have done includes: A complete new bathroom refurbishment (including re-building a new wall) Completely refurbishing a sitting room (including inserting sound insultation and bespoke cabinetary) Bespoke under stairs storage (after a number of other trades people said it was too difficult) Preparing the house for plastering (removing old wallpaper, filling in cracks) Outside restoration of bricks and cornice Fixing floorboards down Nick is not your normal handymen. He is extremely creative and also great with thinking through colour schemes. I wouldn't hesitate to use Nick and his team again. Everything that they have done for me has been of the highest quality. They are trustworthy, tidy, reliable and honest. I already have a list of other jobs to get them back in for. I would very happily provide a reference for Nick - just like the people did who were leaving our road.  Nick can be contacted on: 07866 267 581. Thanks, Andy
