While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more
To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Jim charged me up front for materials and labour and never did the job.
I sent him nearly £1.500 and hes ignoring me, I call him every day and leave messages on his business and personal number.
I wouldn't recommend this trades person.
James Pettie installed a diesel heater on my narrow boat. He left me with a small leak in the diesel pipe but refused to come back and put it right, saying that I had to have it fixed at my own expense. The new marine engineer took one look and couldn't believe what a bad job James had made of the installation. It would have failed the boat safety certificate on at least 8 points, making the boat unsafe and putting our lives in danger from a potential fire in the engine bay. I went back to James with this information and asked to be refunded the money that I had paid to the second engineer. His response was that if I didn't pay him an extra £3,000 then he would steal my boat. He's now being investigated by the police for attempted blackmail and by trading standards for offering services that he's not qualified to do.
