Following recommendations we asked Kevin to come and do some building work at our house. We've found him to be unreliable and unprofessional, a warning to anyone looking for a builder. Happy to give further examples of anyone wants to pm me but to give a flavour:

Our whole kitchen and hallway were left coated with dust when he was working on the kitchen, no dust sheets put down and no attempt to clean up mess either.


He's missed/ forgotten several appointments. One example from this week:

[20/04 09:33] My housemate: Morning Kevin! What time are you coming?

[20/04 09:37] Kevin Builder: I forgot all about that can come on Sat at 12


Followed by a quote from today:

Kevin: gdmorning I won't be able to come today my grandmother has ask me to take her out and I couldn't say no I'm gonna be on Barry road with a client I'm gonna have to postpone it till Thursday at 12 I'm very sorry but I promise defo il do it Thursday once again sorry.


There was also an incident involving one of Kevin's workers that made a female friend of mine who was alone in the house at the time feel very uncomfortable, and Kevin has also used offensive racist language in conversation with me, which made me feel very uncomfortable.


The work he's done has been of an OK standard, but the unreliability and unprofessionalism is probably worth bearing in mind if you're looking for a builder. Happy to pm further details if anyone wants them.

      Dulwich Eco Gardening - Professional Landscape Gardening / Design

      By AylwardS · Posted

      Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.

      I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
