    Poor Workmanship and Damage During Internal Door Installation

    Posted 29 April

    The issue is poor workmanship and damage caused during the installation of three internal doors by a Salvatore found through Checkatrade. Two of the doors were installed incorrectly and carelessly. The kitchen door was damaged when the hinges and lock were fitted, and the lounge door had its hinges fitted the wrong way round, which required removal and refitting. This correction resulted in further visible damage that was only covered with filler rather than properly repaired. Due to these issues and the lack of confidence in the quality of work, the third door was not installed at all.

    Salvatore was punctual and extremely helpful, friendly and professional. Did a very good job on what turned out to be a very poor quality flatpack! I would certainly contact him again if I needed work to be done, and can recommend him 100%

    Sal is a very reliable man. Turned up on time, kept me informed all the way through, tidied up when he finished and charged a very reasonable rate. I recommend him thoroughly.

    I was contacted very quickly and the repairs to my mobility scooter were completed the next day. I am very happy with the result. No more floppy wing mirrors.
