Albert Gherman runs this cowboy outfit and is one of the worst builders I have come across. 1 star is generous but I cannot give less.
I would go as far as to say he is a con man. Trading Standards will be notified as parts of my job were left unsafe e.g. live electrical wires sticking out of walls for weeks on end.
Albert is unable to plan jobs in the right order, he does not communicate with you and the quality of his work is shoddy at best. Do not be tempted by a cheap quote. Like the saying goes, if you pay peanuts you will get monkeys. If you reasonably expect to be able to discuss things in English with the people who turn up to do your job, then you may be left disappointed as many cannot converse with you.
Albert has major, major cashflow problems and will ask you for money for incomplete work, but is unable to deliver anything in return. Do not underestimate the influence this will have on your job. When I spoke to his workers they all have something to say about this and many do not get paid on time for their work. He tried unsuccessfully to ask me to pay for a patio door that I had already paid for weeks earlier, as he owed money to his supplier for the balance. He also has a habit of asking for you to pay upfront or when something is only 70% complete. If you do use him, just say no to this request as you will get no guarantee of when the work will be completed.
Albert will tell you that everything is "no problem", in fact that's one of his best used phrases, but you will find people do not turn up for your job, or they arrive late because they moonlight from other jobs. When you try to contact Albert you may not get a respnse for days. I had to deal with his nonsense for 4 days on two separate occasions, whilst my wife was heavily pregnant and we had a toddler running around an unsafe building site. This man has no regard for these things, so be cautious before you use him.
The workers that Albert uses are not more than labourers. They are not skilled in any area and probably fall very short of UK building standards. Thankfully Building Control saved me from misfortune and errors with RSJs were corrected Another example, if you want flooring laid do not expect a floor fitter to do it. It will be a labourer laying flooring. Albert does not have people who can do plumbing. In my case, a plumber was sent and messed up a boiler and underfloor heating system and he had to find an emergency Plumbing Engineer to come and correct it.
Steer clear of this man and his firm or do what I have done and sack him to find someone better.
