Diy Dave

"Avoid like the plague. An absolutely appauling trades person not to be trusted. We took him on for a garden project, he's taken £1,000's of pounds from us and left us with a completely unsafe and poorly finished mess. Now refuses to return calls, texts and emails. A wall he built doesn't have footings, nor any drainage and is unsafe.. it will need rebuilt from scratch. Composite decking is a mess too, incredibly poor standard of finish, unsafe base underneath, different colour decking in places and a pergola which needed taking down because it was unsafe. Massive and uneven gaps everywhere. The steps he built are also that shockingly bad you just have to laugh! Then there is the fake grass...didn't put any membrane underneath, didn't rip up the old real grass so that will just grow straight through the fake grass. Again that is all being ripped up and redone. Aside from that his work ethic is a joke. Turns up at 10:30, does a couple of hours then disappears. Won't work in the rain. Weeks may go by and he not even turn up! Drives all over England for materials apparently, of course that's why he can't be on site that day, he's picking stuff up! Every single bit of bad luck any human could have, all happened to Dave in the space of 3 months, his excuse book is huge! We were incredibly patient but everyone has a breaking point, unfortunately ours has cost us a fortune! He now lives in Cleckheaton, used to live in Tameside. Do yourself a favour and find someone else!"

"Dave moved 3 internal sockets for me. The work is neat and tidy, Dave arrived on time as discussed. I couldn't fault him for the work he did and I'll definitely contact him again if I need other work doing."
