I hired Pickups to replace my immersion heater with a condensing combi boiler…read more The owner came round within hours of the installation demanding to be paid cash for the job and said he would post a receipt which was never received. i was left with no hot water in the bathroom as they had not checked the installation. They corrected the problem but in the quickest way possible and I was left with an unsightly copper pipe running from my bath to the sink. There was a leak from one of the fittings on the boiler which resulted in water soaking in to and ruining the kitchen work surface. When they were called back to correct the problem, I was not home and the engineer told my wife the problem had been resolved. When I returned I discovered the engineer had just covered the leaky fitting in silicone. I called the company repeatedly over the next few days and left many messages but they just ignored my calls and the problems they had caused with the poor workmanship. I later found out they had also fitted the flue incorrectly which resulted in water leaking inside the boiler and the internal metalwork corroded. I now have to replace the boiler after a couple of years. I called the company repeatedly over the next few days and left many messages but they just ignored my calls and the problems they had caused with the poor workmanship. I contacted the boiler manufacturer and discovered that Pickups also did not register the installation with the manufacturer which voided my warranty, Stay away from these Cowboys. They have already gone in to liquidation once as J G Pickup.

Mersey Builders is fronted by Thomas. He is accompanied by Keith…read more They promise the world but deliver chaos. This company was taken to court in Warrington for fraud in March this year. The company falsley claimed to be registered with professional bodies. Money was demanded for work that had not been done. Work undertaken was of very poor quality.

Additionally, Thomas Turpin was found guilty on a separate matter in Chester Magistrates Court and given a suspended sentence. https://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/news/19155760.merseybuild-manager-convicted-trading-standards-offences/ If you Google the company address (9 Menlove Road, Allerton) you will find different companies registered to that address.

A thoroughly professional job This is the second time we…read morehave used mersey builders and would have no hesitation in using them again or recommending them to others. The work, a kitchen re-fit, was carried out to a very high standard and their service throughout was thoroughly professional.

Having used Allerton is the past, I decided to get a quote from them for my new home, alongside 5…read moreof the highest rated companies in the Northwest. In total, I secured x6 quotes. I was shocked at Allerton's price, which was completely ridiculous. They were at least £5,000 more than four of the companies, who all priced roughly the same, even out-pricing Everest, which shocked me. They come out at almost £8,000 more than the others for replacing all the windows and doors. Based on these prices, I decided not to go ahead with them, as I don't think they can justify their prices, regardless how good they claim to be. They use Rehau windows, which a lot of companies use, so the only thing they can use for price justification, is their quality of installation.

Paul has let us down bad style, I explained our circumstance. And the first words out of his mouth…read morewas I won"t let you down, not only that he ripped us off. Quoted us for doing quite a bit of work, and also charging us for doing a lot of investigation. As to what was going on with some of the wiring, only done a quarter of the work. But ended up charging us half the money that he quoted us for, he was very unreliable. He supposed to start the work on the 8th June 2023, contacted me on the 7th June asking if it was okay for him to start on the 9th June. As his partner only gets the occasional time off work, and that she was given the 8th June, and he wanted to spend time with her. During the conversation he tells me that he will work the Saturday 10th June to make up for not starting on the 8th, on the 9th June 2023. After being here for 1 hour tells me that he doesn't like working weekend, and that he will and do has much as he could in that day. To prevent him from working the Saturday 10th, turns up on the 12th June. Managers to complete a full day, get an email @01:45 Tuesday morning, telling me that he can't make on Tuesday 13th as something had cropped up. Get a texted message on Wednesday 14th won't be able to get you till 10:30, because I have got to fill a form out for an electrical charging point. Turns up just after 10:30, couple of hours into the job. It's to hot to work in this weather, and stops work @15:30. Next day Thursday 15th June, gets another text message telling us that he will be with us at lunch time. At 14:30 no sign contacts him via text message telling him to leave turning up, as it was getting too lat. Contacts me back telling me that he needs his tools, so that he could get to another job on Friday. So to rip us off he comments am I coming back to complete the work, I replied back. That I would get back to him in a a day or two, so that we could think things over as to whether we could rely on him completing the work, he then comments could we settle up now with the money. And that he just wanted to make sure that he got paid, I told him not to worry that I will pay him. But he replied I just want to make sure, so he worked out his price and I am sorry the day I ever paid him. Due to that fact of him letting us down so much, he may be okay on smaller jobs whereby he can pick and dues his work. But any big jobs he can't cope with, and this is we're he will let you down. Sorry Paul but you are a waste of space, you just don't like getting your hands dirty.
