Be careful of rogue gardener called michael

Recommended Posts

I got his details on the forum and called him to do some gardening for me. He came and quoted how much the job is and we agreed. he told me its going to be done by 3 people in 3 days, which i found strange as its not a big job as such but then he is the expert. We agreed for him to start on monday because he said he'll be going to church on sunday, which is fair enough. He then called me on Saturday that can he come to do the job on sunday because the weather is good, i wasn't sure and said I'll let him know as i wasn't sure there'll be anyone in. On sunday morning I called him to go and do the garden as the weather is fine and that someone will let him in at 12 and we agreed. He then called about 6.30 that the job is done and sent photos of the garden and as agreed i told him to send his bank details to pay the money into on monday. He said no, he's not going until i pay and he is going to leave my house opened and was getting so difficult. I then kept explaining to him that I'm not near the house and don't keep cash on me and he saw that lots of work is being done on the property. Why i said he's a rogue is that we agreed the work will be starting on monday for 3 days and why would he do this within few hours and be pressuring me to pay instantly. At long last i had to get someone to get some cash to him as i don't want the place left open and don't trust him as there are building materials lying around. I just want to warn people so they can be careful and beware. Hope I am clear enough. His no.07508407167.

Omg thats the same guy from last time... Someone had problems with him and warned everyone not to use him. His real name is Patrick. He is an irish guy.


He uses different names. This guy rips people off. Surprised he always gets away with it


Admin maybe we should post a photo of him.

I think it's insulting to the gardener and potentially defamatory.

Was the job done well ?

Did you pay the guy for the job

Or or you paid per days of work ?

If you're a client you should have the money for the service when you receive it .

Can't see any info about anything he's done wrong except delivering service early

And expecting to be paid on the spot .

I too work for myself and had problems collecting unpaid bills from client here and there .

By the time tradesman leave he's done and can't go back as he'll be trespassing.

If I don't trust my client I too would tell you that I'll wait (happened few times)

You have the right to question the quality but if you're not satisfied but should not be telling stories about this BAD BAD gardener who came around ,done the job and want his money

There is also a guy operating who shows a letter with Age UK heading, saying that he is authorised by them to undertake gardening work etc foe elderly people.


He was last working in the Lordship Lane area (2016) but he is well known to the police and social services as a financial abuser. Again he uses different names - not sure if he is still at large. The last I heard one of his 'victim's- nephews was going through his aunts accounts as this guy was also drawing out money from a cash machine (aunt who had early dementia had given him the PIN).

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets! None of us have any  idea what a Corbyn led government during Covid would have been like. But do you seriously think it would have been worse than Johnson's self-serving performance? What you say about the swing of seats away from Labour in 2019 is true. But you have missed my point completely. The fact that Labour under Corbyn got more than ten million votes does not mean that Corbyn was "unelectable", does it? The present electoral system is bonkers, which is why a change is apparently on the cards. Anyway, it is pointless discussing this, because we are going round in circles. As for McCluskey, whatever the truth of that report, I can't see what it has to do with Corbyn?
    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
