0 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.Verified reviewerJob location: SG9Response from Fill the Gap
It is regrettable unfair and untrue comments I feel that no matter what the outcome there would have been unsatisfactory conclusion i always try to the best of my knowledge to fulfill each and every task

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%Verified reviewerJob location: CB22Response from Fill the Gap
