G Force Architectural Conrete
(1 review)
DO NOT USE Paul Gaughan from GForce Architectural Concrete…read more I decided to use GForce following my visits to their other jobs provided by Paul Gaughan and reading the reviews on this site. It was mid-December 2020 when I agreed to proceed following the receipt of a quote from Paul. He asked about colours of concrete and booking a date as he had 15th January open. To do so I needed to pay him 10% deposit upfront which I did. He then asked if he could start work earlier, I agreed and as per payment schedule, a further 40% was paid. Works started on 8th January where the front of my drive was cleared as well as the existing front wall. Hard core rubble had been partially spread. From here on is when delays began to occur, with one excuse after another. Granted that bad weather also affected the timeline which I took into account however whenever there was decent dry weather Paul did not even turn up whilst working on other jobs. Paving work was done at the back of my property and eventually concreting started at the rear patio on 6th March 2021. My recently rendered white walls were left in a terrible state. Paul guaranteed that these would be cleaned once they are jet-washed. Clearly there are visible marks on walls from the colouring used as well as splashed concrete onto the rendered wall. A further 40% payment was demanded immediately and seeing the work progressing I paid. It was not until 24th March that he dropped Kevin (one of his employees) to start building the front wall. This has been partially finished, with the exception of pillars on 5th April. On this same day, Paul calls to demand payment for the wall claiming this was extra work not quoted for. Fortunately, I retained a copy of the quote and our exchanges via Whats App to confirm my version. Paul was trying to extort even more money from me. From then on, he came to collect his tools and equipment and only came to my property once to do some preparation work for less than 2 hours on 20th April 2021. Excuses have ranged from bad weather to staff not wanting to work as well as theft from his unit however it is now 18th June 2021 and despite multiple promises, Paul has not returned to complete the unfinished work. After paying 90% of the money to Paul, I have not see any indication of when he plans to complete the work as well as correct a number of items highlighted on the work done so far. Save yourself the stress/trouble/money I have been going through over the last 7 months and avoid G-Force Architectural Concrete like a plague. I heard so many lies (promises to finish the work, call me later/next day) from Paul that it is hard not to portrait him as anything other than a rogue/cowboy trader. He has forced me to take legal action to recover monies paid in advance (foolish of me to trust him) and employing a reputable contractor to finish the work Paul has left. I have now learnt that he has done exactly the same to other people in Leicester. Trading Standards will be informed of my case as well as other customers Paul has obtain money by deceit.

I highly endorse ABC heating. If it were possible, I'd rate them six stars and more!…read more After facing persistent and complicated boiler problems, and having already spent a considerable amount with other firms, I turned to ABC heating as a final attempt. They resolved my issues with utmost professionalism. Turned up on time, efficient, and the trust worthiness stood out. Their approach of identifying and addressing the root cause to problems is unparalleled to other gas firms, and trust me I've used a fair few! Moving forward, I plan to rely on them for regular boiler servicing etc. Can't recommend them highly enough.

We found Pauls' firm (the heating expet) through an advert in a local shop and got him quote to…read moreintall a new heating system. He listened to our needs explained the options and customised a system that was right for us. He wrote us a quote before he left and followed us up- no chasing required!. All that made him an easy choice. It was a million times easier that dealing with some of the other firms we got to quote for us and didn't cost any more either. But we got all the peace of mind and confidence you need when having major work done in your house. It's rare to come across someone with in depth technical knowledge and customer service skills that give confidence a good job will be done and then actually deliver it with a well trained & experienced team - and that is what we got with Paul Knight. We would definately recommend him if you need a new heating system or other plumbing work done (we had a new combi boiler and new radiators installed).

The Project Manager was outstanding, managing appropriately our requirements and the range of crafts (i.e. tanking, plumbing, electricals, decorating, etc.) required to complete the job. We were particularly impressed with the candor/clarity from the project manager for a job we were not familiar with and the quality of the craftsfolk he brought to site. All subsequent documentation/guarantees were supplied immediately upon final payment ensuring that we had continuous insurance coverage. I would thoroughly recommend the Dampco team to anyone looking to professionally convert their basement.
DAMPCO undertook extensive work at my property on the recommendation of my builder. At first the…read morepipe taking water away from the property was sited so that it gushed out gallons of water several times an hour onto the pavement. It is a very busy street and I was legally liable for damage to persons or their property, eg. a woman passing by with a pram on her way to the school opposite the house. The builder finally got the owner of the company to come and view after missed appointments. He said the pipe should be re-routed and that was done. I paid the bill - around the £6,000 mark - immediately after completion of the job. However it then took 6 months for me to get a proper guarantee for the work. The reason this was important was that I had been told that the water pump needed servicing every 6 months and I wanted to ensure that I maintained the conditions of the guarantee. The builder thought that this was rather frequent so I made many phone calls and sent recorded delivery letter to ask about the need to service and the cost from DAMPCO. No reply ever. The company has refused to answer questions and has clearly not shown interest or consideration of customers or aftercare of their products. This is a company which, once it has your cash, you may as well forget about. Damp proofing is a long term and expensive piece of work to undertake so do not take any risks.
