Countless issues. 1. Not enough screws used. In a couple of the hinges only 2 screws used meaning that not all the doors were secure. Especially bad in children's room. 2. Dug massive wedges out to but hinges on. Now the hinges are not flush with the door and need replaced 3. Used the wrong latch for bathroom and when pointed out replaced it with the lockable one but now latch sticks out and catches plusbhe lost the lock button and never came back 4. All the doors do not sit correctly and the gaps let light through 5. The hinges he used were the wrong kind as he used cupboard hinges

Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Detailed reviews
I was contacted by Peter on Tuesday and agreed with him on price and time to do the work for Sunday. I needed it to be done by end of week. On Sunday I had no show no contact nor reply to my message until this day. !!!!! Avoid as he is very unreliable !!!!
Didn’t turn up, didn’t take my calls. Al lI wanted was a yes or a no after he’d agreed to come out and see the job. Why can’t tradesmen just let people waiting know if they are actually going to turn up or not ??? He agreed to come at 10:00am and no-showed. Didn’t bother to explain. Very very poor service and even poorer communications. Surely it’s not hard to call and say ‘ sorry I can’t make it find another joiner’. That’s all I needed !!
