recommendation - fantastic builder


Recommended Posts

I would like to recommend will from prestige property services once again,


I have recommended him before for a complete refurb to my house including kitchen bathroom painting fencing patio etc. I have also pm'd many people recommending him too. this time he has just turned our ensuite into a wet room and has done such a wonderful job. I am very pleased with the outcome. I very highly recommend him, very reliable, trustworthy and very good on prices.


please private message me if you would like his details

Sadly, I was one of the people Julie recommended Will to, and I had a terrible experience.


We asked him to refit a bathroom, and he provided an excellent quote. However, he then sent someone else in to do the work - who made a complete hash of it.


When called to question about a long list of problems, Will refused to finish the job, or even to meet with me to discuss it.


We have since been to considerable expense to put things right. We have employed someone else (see my separate thread highly recommending Lee Barber) who, when investigating the work done by Will and his employee, found a mountain of rubbish under the new bath, along with a rotten wooden frame than was meant to support the bath, and every single plumbing joint was leaking. Some weren't even connected, so when the bath emptied, the water just sat on the floor underneath it!


I could go on to list a lot of other problems left by Will and his employee, but suffice to say that we endured a terrible experience, and wouldn't go near him with a barge pole in future.

DulwichJulie, why ask for a PM when you have posted their contact details numerous times before on the Forum? Seems a bit odd.


Incidentally, if you search for posts by 'lauracourtlane', who also says Prestige Property Services refurbished 'her' house, you will find 'laura' repeatedly recommending them but then posting a message titled "work for the right person" asking "does anybody have their own van and tools from all trades and currently looking for some work. please get in touch via private message" http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?30,1145785,1145785#msg-1145785


If you are apparently in the building trade and offering work, why would you get someone else to refurbish your house and then go out of your way to recommend them? Again, seems a bit odd.

Jay Gentel's company is Prestige [email protected] ... so Will is from a different company with a similar name but doesn't seem to provide the same standard of work. It sounds to me like William may be trying to get some work based on Jay Gentel's company reputation which has lots of positive reviews from different customers on the forum

    • Hi all, I’m working on a project for my Fine Art MA which looks at whether the wild plants, flowers and weeds now growing in the streets and gardens of the old Friern Manor Farm Estate originated from when this area was a dairy farm in the mid-19th century - filled with meadows, pastures, fields and hedgerows. If you live, work or visit within the catchment area (see website link below for the area once occupied by the farm`), it would be amazing if you could take part in the 'citizen science' element of my project - which involves photographing and documenting the flora in this area. During this project, I’ve been discovering a lot of history of the area and I am developing a live digital archive to connect all this local information. If you have any local historical information that you think would be of interest, please message me. At a later stage in the project I would like to interview local residents so their stories can be preserved for future generations. I am also holding an exhibition on Sunday 14 July in the church hall of St Clement with St Peter in Friern Road (which is on the site of the old Friern Manor Farm) to document the results of the project and provide an insight into our local history. To find out more, please see my website (link below) or DM me. Thanks in advance for any help you can give. Best wishes  Sharon Neish https://www.howdoesourgardengrow.com/
