Why the unreliable tradesmen!? Be careful...

Having posted on here before about the bad experiences of tradesmen in Dulwich and being a resident here for 15 years I find it shocking these people can still get away with it.


I thought I would spend some time doing up my flat starting with the bathroom and bedroom. 7 months and a small fortune on the bathroom still isn't finished. The first guy - Andy - was unbelievable! After a MONTH of very very little apart from talking, I made the mistake of simply asking for it to be at least plumbed in by xmas as my family were visiting - his response was to walk out 2 DAYS before Xmas with the place in a mess and leaving a note asking for half the money. All he had done is pull up a few tiles! There was damage throughout my flat including a wrecked floor and I am still recovering the damage which has had to be sorted out a cost. To top it off when I finally got the bathroom sorted there was a leak under the floorboards which was apparently down to shoddy workmanship. I then hired a local plumber on recommendation, Simon - who I paid up front - the leak was fixed thankfully but he has since disappeared leaving tiles having not been replaced, new ones I bought broken and refuses to return my house keys meaning I've incurred another cost to replace the locks.



It's all a disgraceful way to treat a customer. The whole process has been a nightmare. I am not intending to damage businesses but I'm SICK of dealing with unreliable tradesmen. In MY experience Dulwich is in dire need of reliable trustworthy tradesmen...

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant.
