Hargreaves Carpentry & Joinery

Engaged Hargreaves Carpentry & Joinery to do some conversions for the kid’s wardrobes and a walk-in wardrobe, the main component of the brief was to not have less draw space than we currently have and to offset the draws in the kids rooms, so a sliding door can be installed after replacing the swing door.



Ended up with less draw space in the walk-in wardrobe and two of the three rooms where we wanted the swing doors replaced to sliding doors can not be completed, as the draws are past the centre line, this was clearly advised to him before starting the job.



Initially for the walk-in robe we asked for two double draws which we were told would not fit, however after he completed the job where he installed the single draw, a double would have fitted, a tape measure does not lie.



When questioned, Hargreaves Carpentry said it wouldn’t fit, however the single draw has the same depth and height, just a different width. The width of the single draw and the dress hanging is of the same dimensions of the double draw I asked for.



Where we asked for the dress hanging to be done, he supplied a shelf.



Extremely disappointed with the attitude of Hargreaves Carpentry, left an absolute mess and a pile of rubbish that we needed to dispose of, being a tradesman myself I remove all rubbish and clean up, it appears he does not,



His quotes are had written and vague, ours was along the lines of WIR conversion,



Essentially you are paying someone to install Ikea furniture

Poor workmanship. Door rail is not installed properly resulting unlevel rail. Hence the door is self rolling. No response after I txt them about the issues. Got back to me only after I posted my query on their Facebook page. Comments were deleted within mins.
