in Praise, vent & warnings
Is there a site or forum anywhere to expose and discuss poor builders and warn others off ?;)
I am in the process of having a loft conversion done and it's a bl**dy nightmare:eek:.
I would love to find out the truth about my builders reputation...not their version of it.:rolleyes:

    So much for the badly rated tradesmen website:mad: They took my money in december for a years subscription and now when I want to check a builder all I get is "bad request-invalid host name"---what a rip off :(

    Your in the right place to name n shame cowboys, scammers and conmen, feel free to report what they have or haven't done, who they claim to be and where they claim to be based.

    There is nothing worse than exposure and warnings on MSE about any scam. ;)

    Strange - your solicitor did not pick up on any of this from the documentation?

    Why would a builder build a new brick skin around a 20 yr old house? It would have very thick walls.
    If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales

    The solicitor did not pick it up, but that is not the worst thing that happened, the bulder used green oak timbers that have twisted whilst drying and caused no end of damage - he did not tell us or the the solicitors that either


    I would name & shame your surveyor as well
