A driveway company been doing it's rounds down our road. They have done at least 4 drives. The people next to me are hoarders and don't tend to look after the property
Never open the curtains. Everywhere is hoarded up literally. Nice people though I'm just trying to explain there situation. They agreed to a two day job to get the drive done. Then they agreed to let this company do the back garden. Then they agreed to let them redo the garage. Shes just been around for a cuppa. She was stressed. We are not close like that. Just neighbourly. She's late 50s and I'm only 28 so she's like a mother figure age if you get me so I dont want to patronise her being opinionated. She told me that the original builders ran off with the bosses payment and dropped the job. So he's had to find more. Then they are not currently doing the work because of the rain. They now want to start inside her home when they were supposed to do the garage first and she is stressed because she had nowhere to put anything. So she's in a pickle. Different men are turning up every week. Supplies are not arriving. They are only doing a couple of hours a week it seems. They were there once last week and two hours Monday.
I asked her where the company is based but she thought I meant the supplies. She said the boss is really nice. But said she worries the front drive stuff won't ever arrive. It should be finished this week but obviously it's nowhere near.
I would personally want them out my property. I can't believe she's even letting them do the inside. They are landscape and patio men. But they are doing her whole home too. I didn't want to be too opinionated and stuff but I think they are completely unprofessional. For a start they keep changing the staff, the job order. The boss told her he's stressed because it's costing him alot more than he thought. He said he has to continue to pay the men so therefore they have to start inside now. Does this sound like criminals or is this how it can go?
I'm shocked at what she's told me, I only ever use local tradesman that usually do the job themselves and I know from hearsay they are good. This team has at least 15 people.
I don't know if there's a way she can look up more about these people. I've helped her by looking on the who owns the business etc and its registered but they have blocked you knowing the name of the owner etc. The website looks like it was set up in April.
I don't think there's another way she can dig further to find out more is there? I wouldn't be surprised if they clear off without finishing. Anyone know what is best in this situation.
