    Think you should print a load of Wild West style wanted posters of him and stick them up around the area. Get his face out there

    He was supposed to finish my kitchen. Said 2 days initially at 300 a day. He cut a hole right through the top of my new worktop. Then told me I had to pay a further 150 to build a cuboard to hide the hole. Went over a week and he hasn't finished. I was waiting for delivery from b & q. He told me he would come back the following week. 2 weeks later he hasn't bothered I told him I wasn't well and was sick of him not doing the job. He then said he would come back all sorry and he would fix it. He came back today bringing a young lad with him and said if I didn't apologize he would walk off! I lost it and he ran away down my path. He then text and said he would pay me 250 back as long as I don't leave him bad feedback! My kitchen is a mess.

    The man is crazy! I cannot believe he gets away with it all. The one thing I have noticed is that he seems to only do it to woman on there own. He actually asked me to set up a direct debit for him to come and do my bathroom on a month to month basis! He brought a young lad I assume for intimidation it was mortifying.

    Oh I have. I've kept a full log and pictures as proof he will be so lucky to get away with it this time. Just waiting for his generic email to say he's gone bankrupt

    He gave a customer near me a heart attack Over the stress he gave them. No morals at all this man but gets away with still trading.

    Oh my god that's horrendous! I named and shamed him on a shaming page yesterday he had it taken down. I've just got off the phone to trading standards again I'm not letting this go I swear he's dangerous! He is going to kill someone.

    No I just found out he came off Facebook after he was threatened. He went and reported it to the police! I'm surprised he's only been threatened to be honest. And his business name isn't his either that belongs to a real family run business of qualified people. He just uses that name! His luck has got to run out soon though
