Exterior painter needed ASAP - I've been let down

[DGreenhalgh]

Please help, I'm looking for a for a good painter/decorator to sort out my window frames.

Last year I contacted Chris E Smith (07951251295) as he had done quite a lot of work in the area and seemed like a nice chap. Anyway he only did a third of the work and has been delaying coming back for over 9 months! I seriously would not recommend him - it's been so frustrating - I don't have much time to follow up and chase with two small kids and working full time, his communication has been so poor. I just want to get the job done now!

Please please please let me know if you have some good local recommendations.

Many thanks.

I have never disappointed a customer and I plan to never disappoint one.

Hi Diane

Just seen this message on the eastdulwichforum, after someone informed me that this was on here.

I would just like to mentioned that I work all over Dulwich and have worked for Dulwich College for sixteen years, and I have never received anything like this before. The reason why I didn't return to do the next stage of your decorating was because I was worried that I would not get paid as you asked me to wait for payment and, as your remember, your mother eventually had to pay me because you never had the money! As a working father with three children to support I cant not wait for payment once I have finished my work. You shouldn't have work done if you haven't got the money.

I am currently working for a barrister in Dulwich who says that this definition of character and you have no right to put my name and private telephone number on this forum for everyone to see. As mentioned, I am a father of three and this could have effected me getting work around the Dulwich area and loss of earnings. I am able to get references from all of my clients who are more than happy with my work.

Could you please remove this immediately otherwise I will be seeking legal advice.
