Poor Standard of Dulwich Tradesmen!!


RPK073

Recommended Posts

Having read a number of posts on here recommending a number of tradesmen I am beginning to wonder how much of them or actually written themselves! I have had constant problems with unreliable and quite frankly poor tradesmen off here since starting work on my property last November! Having made the decision to get my bathroom done up I made the huge mistake of employing one guy - Andy - who made a complete mess then tried to charge me. I thought it was all resolved when I found someone to come and sort out the mess left - for which i doubt there will be enough characters in this box to go through - via a couple of poor decorators after whom I had to tidy up the mess they had left only to then find out I had a leak in the bathroom directly under the bath. despite fixing the leak the last guy has left the place half done (yes I paid him!) so 7 months on I still don't have a nice finished bathroom which has cost me a small fortune.


To top it off I have a leak in my cellar which has STILL to be resolved despite said plumber taking a call out fee and promising to fix it meaning I have a cellar full of sludge and stench.


Could be just bad luck but having lived in Dulwich for 15 years I am hugely disappointed with the poor quality on here. If anyone therefore knows a RELIABLE reasonable plumber who will actually help change a stopcock and sort out the crap the last guy left behind it would be much much appreciated...

As already pointed out by more than one person on another similar thread you started, there is little point in slagging off a tradesman when you name him only as Andy, thus throwing suspicion on every competent tradesman in the area also called Andy.


If you don't want to give his full name (why?) why name him at all?


It "upsets" me because I have had several incompetent tradespeople work on my house, causing me considerable stress and financial loss, and I would like to avoid employing another one.


You seem to have a lot more time on your hands than me as you have started more than one thread on the exact same topic.


Apart from this one, there appear to be:

Have you tried John Powers? He's got lots of boiler recommendations on the edf. He's moved and replaced our boiler and also replaced/moved radiators for us. I know he does bathrooms as we're thinking of replacing ours soon, so I double checked with him.


He's def worth pursuing as the standard of work has been outstanding.


His number is 07977 909339

Actually Sue I am working long hours and have little time which is why I have been trying to find someone to help. I don't understand why it's necessary to send responses like that as it helps no one. If you have had similar experiences I would have thought you would want these experiences highlighted rather than brushed under the carpet. I too have wasted a lot of money on these people so if anyone wants to find out who I have been using they can pm me; in not here to punctually humiliate anyone

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
