Agreed contract and signed on 23/07/17 for fitted kitchen
£3970 up front started work 07/08/17. Still not finished, shoddy workmanship had to chase contracters myself, no show of Steve Brooks to check anything, after asking several times to come and see the mess I was in, just left me to it and still has. All electrics condemned, worktops not matching, wires everywhere, no skirting no window sill, cupboard light not working, told me to get a bulb, the supposed surveyor got it completely wrong.
Nothing was as I had signed for, so the contract was broken, I want a complete refund as I was completely mis led and ripped off

Appalling. This man should not be able to continue in business. I had a kitchen and bathroom remodel, signed for quote and design. At every step of the way, there was a problem. I have ended up 6 MONTHS LATER with unfinished bathroom and kitchen that looks nothing like promised design. Electrics are illegal. No building reg cert. No gas safe cert. I haven't lived in my house for 5 months.

He is on bark as Steve Brooks Design ltd formed 1n 1999 but the company number is one of his other business formed in 2017. The address changes at company house show same person even though changed address. I was threatened with court action if i wrote a bad review hope you all get your money back took me weeks to get just a deposit back.

Same as about for our job too we are going to go through the legal process as he has no regard for who he rips off even some of the people that contract for him he’s only a salesman nothing else and he’s taking everyone who falls for his crap for any Money he can see trading standards folks report him

Please all go on bark and post a review as well he has sold 84 jobs in weeks to those people by only submitting great reviews are them poor people in for a shock! Steve brooks will remove a negative review but email bark to put the truth back, stop others falling foul of this man.

I still haven’t got over what he has done, total rip off, my electrics are still condemned, will have to pay more out to fix the problem.
I went through all the routes to try and sue him, citizens advice, trading standards, no help, other than paying a solicitor which I can’t afford, I even went throjudge Rinder, even they couldn’t get him to attend. So let’s get together and get him to court.

The company which recommended him on their website was called Quotatis, They obviously didn’t check him out.

I contacted Quotatis and they are helping me with court case. Am sure they will help you too. They told me they had no other complaints against him. Please see my other comments on other posts regarding what we can do as a group/individually.
Steve Brooks is on Twitter - complain there as it's public.

Jordon, I'm also connected to Kirsty. Email her for my address (don't want to post on here) and I'll certainly connect. He has to be stopped, it's appalling. I'll join the FB page - and I've also reported to Action Fraud and Trading Standards, via Citizens Advice.

Jean, did you get anything back?

VERIFIED
No, went to all the citizens advice offices in two areas, looked on line, but to be honest I gave up, my daughter said just forget it and class it as a bad experience,but i can’t, I’d love to kickstart it back up again, so if you need any help I’m here.

How did you connect with him - through a 'trusted trader' type website? I think we need to explore how they're not finding huge complaints against him. Will be in touch re this. You have so many years before you can no longer pursue him for the money back, so it's worth starting again. I was so ill with stress at the time, I couldn't think about what to do. But once I recovered I was strong enough

I got him thro a company called Quotatis which had him as a trusted trader, I complained to them and they wanted me to send texts and pictures of what he had done, to get a folder on him but that was all, I even tried judge Rinder but they couldn’t force him to attend.

Did you ever get sorted with a refund or other? Trading Standards have been made aware of this man and company.
Jean Pritchard |

VERIFIED
No nothing got sorted, even applied to judge Rinder, who was going to take him on, and he would not attend, and on a tv court they couldn’t make him.

We couldn`t get him to come and look at the mess we were in either.
Poor work, unqualified people, full of excuses, lies, strops, not turning up when promised. Wouldn`t recommend to anyone. Still waiting for refund for item we never had . Work still outstanding. Been horrific

Well I think I will have to write it off now, can’t get nowhere with him and that’s how he gets away with it.
