Stay away from R M CONEY Carpentry

I contracted R M Coney Carpentry to build 4 fitted wardrobes for my daughters' bedroom and units and shelves for the kids TV.

This was back in july 2017. we agreed to start on 10th July and finish end of July. To this day the work is unfinished, the snags have not been dealt with and the overall finish is poor. Reece is unreliable, uncommunicative and make decision with regards to changes to the work without your approval.

Reece started work a day later than agreed, but did not let me know, I had to call him/message/ email him to find out what was going on.

He would then turn up one day and disappear again without any explanation. I have a full list of message trying to find out where he was and whether he was turning up or not. When he does turn up, there are no apologies or explanations as to why he had not turned up.

I have been trying to contact him now for a few weeks, but he is deliberatly ignoring my messages, even my last formal email advising him that I had taken legal advice and giving him a chance to finish the work as agreed.

I must add that he has been paid in full, so i could add Dishonest to my list...

Following on from what FFoster said, we have hired a number of different people to carry out work for us, and I have noticed that the minute someone has been paid in full they almost NEVER come back to carry out snagging or repairs.


I am experiencing this right now with 2 contractors - one carpenter and one plumber. I wish I had waited a week before paying them both. If I had I would have realised there were problems with the work and I could have withheld payment until it was completed properly.


I will now NEVER pay on the same day and wait until I have fully checked and re-checked the work.


But I learnt the hard way and I wish I hadn't.

    • 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.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
