Unreliable and untrustworthy. Appalling work. Takes money (upfront) and then thinks a good idea…read moreto block your number. He doesn't live at the above address. I'm having another fencing contractor in to correct all the faults Dan kindly made and trying to get my money back via court. He is very friendly and helpful until he gets your money and then it all goes wrong. I have wobbly fence posts, uneven panels and mounds of concrete above soil level. He didn't arrive at agreed times and let me down time after time with the day he was supposed to be returning. Now he doesn't answer the phone. Unsurprisingly, there are few traders in Colchester who will deal with him and he has to pay cash. Have given one star, if I could have given less, I would have.

This is our experience of Danny at Affordable Fencing: Danny arrived on time to provide a free…read morequote, if we wished to take up his estimate for picket fencing and an extended patio area which was estimated at £390 then he required a £240 deposit for supplies. We went ahead with his quotation based on his estimate and transferred £240 for Danny to begin work on a Friday. Friday arrived and Danny did not arrive nor make any contact to provide us with reasons for him not having turned up. I phoned Danny and he said he had lost the telephone number. Whilst we had already committed as £240 had been transferred we agreed to him starting work the following day, which he did, admittedley 3 hours later than agreed. He worked into the evening and the picket fencing work is of a good standard, yet his extending of the patio area is not as there are paving slabs that are rocking and quite uneven. Again Danny requested £60 for further supplied that evening as he needed to return as he had not enough time to complete the job. He returned the next day, again late (albeit a Sunday but he turned up at 5pm & no contact to let us know when he would turn up). I have contacted Danny to request he repair the rocking paving and he said he would come to rectiffy but has not turned up - and I doubt he will....

Nothing seemed too much trouble for him, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to my friends or family. The only drawback of the whole thing was having to use rated people to find him - which costs the tradesmen money to get your details. Jeff E17
