I honestly don't know where to start with this review as it's all so bad.
I can start with workmanship, or lack of it. See the photos attached for the standard of the plastering, there are float marks all over, ripples and snots of plaster. It took us days to rectify it with sandpaper and filler and the mess he made was totally avoidable and unnecessary. In fact the mess from day one was horrendous, he never used plastic sheeting or dust sheets.
He didn't put a skip on my property instead piled all the rubbish and rubble on the drive and garden and it sat there for weeks (so long the beams he left in the garden turned the grass yellow) The radiator took him 5 attempts to attach it to the wall, during which he bent the brackets and gouged out a hole in the floor beam for the pipes rather than measuring correctly, and then when it still wasn't right he used caulk to fill the screws into the wall.
The tiling was a disaster with him chipping tiles and not aligning them correctly. It was so bad we had to let him go before he finished and we had to rip up the whole £2000 worth of tiles and redo the floor.
But that wasn't an end to the sorry saga, no. The electricians he contracted first put every single spot light and pendant fitting in the wrong place. They didn't wire the new fuse board correctly; put the sockets in not levelled up; didn't leave enough room between the back boxes to put the front plates on; didn't put the correct cooker cable in; stood on my new worktops and would not come back to complete the second fix and rectify their mistakes. I have had to hire and pay another electrician.
Add to that Chinos made a doorway too short by 4 inches; didn't allow room in the chimney breast for the extractor motor by putting the boxing in too close to the lintel; didn't turn up till nearly 10am had an hour lunch break and left at 4pm most days (apart from those days he had to work late to attempt to rectify his mistakes!) left his apprentice and labourer to do jobs he should have been doing while he messed on his phone; was recorded on ring cam being highly disrespectful, and you get the idea.
I really, really, really regret the day I ever set eyes on and hired Sean Chinos maintenance. I supplied endless hot and cold drinks, biscuits and snacks, made allowances for days off, daily trips to builders merchants and him doing other work and yet he showed no respect and displayed and threatening attitude when we complained. He clearly was not capable of such a complex job.
I'm still dealing with and paying out to fix problems him and his electrician (who it turns out I discovered wasn't even registered!) have caused, it has been a total nightmare 4 months with still no end. I cannot in all good conscience let anyone else have this same experience. read more
