Dear all
Please watch out for this unscrupulous builder who owns Modern Loft Rooms in Harlow.  [Edited by Forum Team]
(If you type in his full name with a dot com, there is a website dedicated to him online)
He has conned many customers, as there are reviews on the internet.

The owner - [Edited by Forum Team] has started and closed several companies over the years, leaving his customers to pick up the pieces.  His previous companies are:
MCM LOFTS & EXTENSIONS LTD
LONDON LOFT SPACE CONVERSIONS LIMITED 
NLLE LTD  (also know as New London Lofts)
Room Extensions LTD   

Here are the facts from our case:The owner gave us a false first name - [Edited by Forum Team]Did not work on days he agreed Not built to plans, loft built too high - council enforcement action to stop build and eventually ordered by council to remove structure.Unsafe work  - another builder had to put braces on steel to support weight of roof.No skip - rubbish left on front garden for several weeksOutsourced work - no project managementLeft us with a leaking roof, only plastic to cover.CCJ and High Court enforcement action in progress

So was this a proper extension as to building regs or a cheap loft room?

Hi William
The plan was for it to be a proper loft extension intended to be another bedroom. It was not built to plans or within permitted development regulations.

Unfortunately we fell foul of this company. He took our money and left us with a home that was unsafe. We are having to pay a fortune to have it fixed. This man is completely unscrupulous and I would be very happy to provide further information if there is a chance that MSE will investigate this man further

Sorry to hear about your experiences, but this is not the sort of thing that MSE would investigate. The details of the person were also edited by the forum team in the posts from 5.5 years ago, so I would suggest not putting any details up here either.

Good luck with your next steps.

You would probably be better off contacting 'Rogue Traders' or 'Rip off Britain' or 'Watchdog' all useful consumer programmes on the BBC.

You can also contact Matt Allwright directly.
