Owner's real name is Gary Higginson, although I have only ever known him under his pseudonym "Gary Higgs". I originally hired Gary to do two small jobs to the roof of my flat and on completing them successfully, Gary 'notified me' of another problem. He then used a gently-gently approach to gain my trust and once he had this, he advised me that if this job wasn't done then there would be serious structural implications for the entire flat and that it was incredibly urgent. Over 7 months, with unsightly scaffolding up around the property, we were held at ransom, bullied and essentially blackmailed in order to part with more money. As soon as I began to realize he was a fraudster, I confronted him about the lack of progress on the roof and where all the money I paid him had supposedly gone. I was initially met with aggression but then pretty soon after that, radio silence at which point he refused to speak with me. So in summary, he lied about the cause of the job (it didn't need doing), he then put up scaffolding outside my house for 7 months, the only work he ever did was to take tiles OFF my roof and just left the house bare, he then just got aggressive and then refused to turn up for work. I had to pay someone to re-tile the roof and take the scaffolding away.
