Roofer scammed us out of ?5.5k - beware

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone

We've been left out of pocket by ?5.5k by Elliott Sheppard of ES Roofing, Bromley. He took ?5.9k from us as a deposit last September and has failed to carry out the work as promised. (He made a very basic start, removing some of the old roof, but no more than that - perhaps ?00 of work.) His company has now been dissolved (though he is still advertising the company as being in business - you can find him on Checkatrade with lots of glowing reviews.) We were incredibly stupid in not doing enough research (we checked his references, which were good, but if I'd looked at Companies House info I could have seen he was in financial difficulties and I'm fairly sure he knew he was about to go bust when he took our money.) Anyway - please don't use him and please do your homework better than we did! We're now ?5.5k out of pocket with a leaking roof that we can't afford to fix unless we get our money back.

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
