Build Side Alley Shed
Just to clarify, the work quality was very good and I’m very happy with the work Ben has done. There is no denying he is hard working. We agreed a price before the job, 50% prior to the job starting and 50% on completion. The day after the work started Ben asked for more money which did raise questions but as he was doing a good job I let it go. He then claimed the supplier for the redwood which was going on the front of the shed was out of stock and could not return his money for 10 days. I called the supplier and they had the stock, I questioned Bens order and they told me they had no order. Ben told me he would get proof of it but till this day I have not been sent it after requesting it. To get the job finished before I went away that week I agreed to pay for the rest of the materials from the other place with no stock, and told him the approx balance which would leave me out of pocket if I did this and would need it returned once he gets the refund. This was agreed. After finishing Ben has claimed the extra I had paid couldn’t returned in the left over materials of redwood. However as I fronted all the materials 100% and his labour prior to completion, I don’t think that’s fair to say the balance is in materials and believe the balance is owed. I offered to forget the balance if I could get proof of the redwood order but to this day haven’t been sent it. He has offered to take the balance off additional work and offered solutions such as rubbish disposal which is appreciated but out of principal I won’t be doing any further work with Ben which is a shame as his a good guy and does mean well, something just didn’t add up with this job.

Flat Pack Furniture Assembly
Was amazing and friendly. Held a conversation the whole time and got the job done quickly. My bed was even missing parts and he went and got the extra screws from b&q which most people wouldn’t do ! Thank you so much.
