Leaflet dropped through door. Contacted and price and details agreed to paint a small cottage. Part payment up front. Started work. Contacted again and was asked to pay in full so he could pay for partners birthday gift. I foolishly did. Only 70 % of the cottage completed and poor workmanship. Painted oak doors chocolate brown. Since blocked on all platforms.

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 am writing this review as Tony Howard contacted me after I posted a job. He contacted me that day and did the work right away. A month later it is cracking and coming away... I have no idea how he got my details. I have raised a complaint about this. I am writing the review for this reason - I am very unhappy with how he got my details..
The worst experience I have had with trade ever. Tony assured me he could fix the problem I showed him inside my bungalow - roof gully leaking. He quoted an amount for 1-2 days work then declared it finished after 2hrs and insisted I paid there and then. He left a mess of nails and mortar in the downpipe and drain and left my hosepipe on. He came back when I said still leaking - patched more mortar on it. Worse still it is not fixed - in fact it is much worse. And then guess what - he tells me that other issues are causing it that he now says also need fixing. He refuses to give 50% refund
