"This man is a real cowboy. He turned up when he wanted. Wouldn\'t leave when asked. did jobs when he pleased without any consultation. He had a contractor friend of his dig up and take away most of the topsoil in my front yard including the remains of a very precious dog and cat both of whom died at very old ages. There is NO WAY I gave him permission to disturb the graves or take any topsoil. I now have weeds but no grass. He replaced the cistern for my toilet but apparently failed to… connrct the pipes as it doesn\'t work and I have to empty the toilet with buckets. He removed some copper guttering off the house, chopped it up then took quite a bit of it obviously without permission. For some reason he cut off some of the metal downpipes on the house and took them also. I could go on and on and on but I think you get the idea. Beware of this man. I think he targets single women of a certain age who are by themselves like myself. He comes in very friendly and reassuring saying not only can he do the job he originally came for which was to do the plumbing related to the tanks when my roof was being replaced but that he was a handyman who could do anything. This sounds great as there are lots of little things that need doing in many homes that it is hard or not worth getting anyone in to do so a handyman sounds wonderful. He quotes increadibly reasonable prices and does a couple of small things as a favour to gain trust. Then one day you wake up and realise that the most of what he said he would do hasn\'t been and never will be done, the work that actually has been done is not up to standard and that he has taken things like topsoil right under my nose. Initially he straightened up my deck so the new roof could go on. He showed me some timber that I was happy with. Next time he turned up he had sheets of plywood and used them instead. For the first week he arrived early in the morning, left after it got dark and cleaned up beautifully after himself. Then he started turning up when he felt like it sometimes going weeks without turning up then. On one particular day I phoned and asked him specifically NOT to come but he turned up anyway and then would NOT go. When challenged about ANYTHING he would say \' but you agreed, we talked about it remember\'. I may be of a certain age but I am not ancient and nor am I senile. Please avoid this man as he WILL rip you off. He won\'t give an address, says he has no landline or email address and apparently lives in a small shed somewhere."
