    This is their (or his) website. As you see it lacks any address details.
    What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?

    As pinkshoes suggests I am asking anyone who reads this and has heard of this company to advise me of their address. When I say company, it is apparently a on eman band whose name is Andy

    A S Joinery, Whitby

    Tel 07814551355 or 08001185021

    is that the full company name. companies house lists A S Joinery as in liquidation. But it says its registered office is Peterborough.

    does he have Limited or Ltd at the end of his name or anything? just to ascertin if he is a sole trader.
    Back by no demand whatsoever.

    I too have used this guy Andy from the mybuilder website. I have just checked my phone and the mobile number you have for him is the same as the one I have for him. He did leave me his email address as I was going to email some pictures over to him but I cannot find it now but will keep looking for you. I found him absolutely fine when he was here, a nice young lad and he came back to do another job for me.

    According to the my builder website he last logged on today. Have you tried to message him through the site?

    Hi Bargainhunter

    I found hime to be a very pleasant and hard working lad when he was here. That's why I gave him a good reference on the mybuilder website. It is not until recently that the problems have started. I'm particularly annoyed about the flooring which he must have known about. The washer spinning t an angle can't have done it any good either.

    I did contact him about my complaints and he seemed to be very reasonable and agreed to rectify them but as you know the freephone number connects with his mobile and every time I ring he doesn't answer and when I leave messages he does not get back to me. I had a feeling he wouldn't turn up on Wednesday as I had tried to contact him on Wednesday morning but got no reply. I have been trying to sort this out for over a week now and have gotten nowhere.

    I can't message him through the site as I am not having any work done by him at the moment (i don't think I can but I'll check)

    Hi 4743hudsonj

    He does not have Ltd after his company name. I think that it's just him and I've a feeling that he works from home

    Hi BFG

    How can someone who lives in Whitby have a contact address in Bermuda?

    I suspect he's registered his domain via Tucows. They've put their address as the registered address. It's not unusual.

    Why dont you find a friend and call him for a free quote. When he comes to give the quote ask for something on headed paper.

    It also looks like he has a sideline in remapping astra's, If you know a friend with one this could be another way to get a contact detail.
