I have had dealings with James McGinnity and the man is nothing more than a fraudster. Please do not give this man any money for any work. He has ripped me off along with many other people. I paid in cash as this was his preferred payment method (I now know why, its not traceable!) I have reported him to the HMRC as im sure the man doesn't declare his income. I cannot believe that people are still employing this man to do work for them as he does not have a clue. He is no builder!! I've been left with a half finished house and a massive bill to rectify his mess.

 

He is a liar and should never be believed as he does not live with his Mother and Father. He lives with his girlfriend Emma Cherry and has plenty of money. 

 

PLEASE PLEaSE PLEASE NEVER ALLOW THIS CRIMINAL IN YOUR HOME!

I will be taking James and Paul to court.


They have conned me out of a lot of money and never finished my work.


If anybody can provide me with court case references and issues people have had I would like to bring them to the attention of the judge so this does not happen again.

I've had 169 pictures sent to me of the work that has been completed at the property of someone. I could get these too you. He is on here but hasn't commented on this thread. It's awful. I could cry for him. He has been taken for 56k and has been left with a brick shell. When is a criminal case going to happen for James. He needs to be sent to prison.

Hi All,


If you've been ripped off please log it with Action Fraud - even if it was years ago. If they have a number of reports about the same person/people it will flag up and can then be investigated by the police.


Its only takea 2 minutes and you'll be helping other people avoid being ripped off too.

James and Paul McGinnity are now trading as DBM Construction doing work around Kidderminster and other areas. They have managed to get themselves approved by the Federation of Master Builders under their new name! https://www.fmb.org.uk/builder/dbm-construction.html Despite their many, many bankruptcies and criminal convictions for fraud amongst other things. Clearly the FMB accreditation is absolutely worthless these days!

Now his bankruptcy has ended James McGinnity, and his father Paul McGinnity, have set up a Limited Company called Design Build Maintain Limited seemingly to trade as DBM Construction still. The registration is here: https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/15597589

    • I’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!
    • Another recommendation for Andy. I needed an old kitchen removed as an emergency. Andy came over quickly and did a fantastic job. I have used Andy a few times. He is punctual, helpful and always does an  excellent job.
