Beware !!
Firstly.. this company has several names, Quartzize, Quick tops, Joe's Doors and overlays. I shall be leaving this review on all 3 company's review sites.
THE ATTITUDE
I spent nearly £8000 ...
I had my worktops and back splash fitted with the overlay system fitted on the Sept. Keith and his son was very nice and accommodating, and he did a overall good job, but a bad error was made with the measuring/cutting of the fuse switch for my waste disposal. RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY KITCHEN backsplash, you cant put images on here but its an absolute eye sore. He cut of the Quartz to large for the switch and it was patched in with a piece of quartz down the side. which just looks awful. I tried to accommodate there error with trying to buy a larger switch but couldn't because of the screw holes, OR putting a switch with a plug next to it but I already have 2 plugs next to this switch so it would look awful. . after my partner saw this error he said its unacceptable after spending nearly £8.000 that we should not be trying to cover this up, So we asked them to rectify the error, They asked Keith to visit us but I was away on holiday that day!. I DID NOT CANCEL I WAS UNAVAILABLE! So we were booked in on the 9th of October but had an emergency doctors with my brother. 1st appointment after error.. and have tried to reschedule several times but they have not tried to contact me since to rectify this.
When I called and Spoke to Michelle ( at Joe's doors) She was rude and dismissive when i tried to get a appointment, straight away tried to blame me for cancelling twice ( not true).. so i explained that's not true only once.. she kept saying it was my fault as i cancelled talked over me the whole (They never had that attitude prior to ordering) She said They have no availability until January. I was not happy with this as it looks awful, and having my family over for xmas wanted this corrected. but she continued to accuse me of cancelling twice. (So now it was my problem).
SHE proceeded to PUT THE PHONE DOWN ON ME!!
They were soooo accommodating in the beginning prior to ordering couldn't do enough but once they have your money they did not seem to care. and just presented blame!.
I called back but to speak to a manager about Michelle's awful attitude, HE ALSO PUT THE PHONE DOWN ON ME!. TALKED OVER ME THE WHOLE TIME. SAID I WAS BEING TAPED. (GOOD I replied AS IM JUST TRYING TO GET MY £8000 INVESTMENT CORRECTED). that just sounded like intimidation to me! , taped for what?? I was left so shocked!.
THE INSTALLATION.
The other problem for me is that the Quartz is cut on site. So a Large cutter machine and tools had to be set up in my communal muddy car park!! as it was raining. The mess was awful, My job was a big job (11 sqm) with lots of cuts. he had to make a tent and worked for 2 days in my shared car park and covered all the cars with the white quartz dust, which they never told me they were going to do this, thought it was cut prior, it was quite stressful and my neighbours were not happy,.. I had to wash every ones cars down! the trees/floors every where was covered in white quartz dust! and now they want to do it again. I would of defiantly had to reconsidered had I known this was the process. I understand building work have been in it for 30 years! People always have to be prepared for this type intrusion when you in a communal area as this does not just affect me!.
BEWARE RED FLAG - PEOPLE BE AWARE OF THIS..
After discussing this situation with the cutting and installing, and that they cannot do this in my carpark they have said now said I NOW HAVE TO DISCUSS THIS WITH THE FITTER HAS I HAVE PAID HIM FOR THE FITTING WORK TOPS NOT NOT THEM !!
.. this passes the whole responsibility on to ME & HIM. As i have actually paid him not them. i made the massive error of listening to the guy who sold us the worktops. as he never mentioned the fact that the installer is not there responsibility and that he isn't employed by them and the fitting agreement i have is with him!!
Please beware when its not all under one roof your in trouble. HE COULD WALK AWAY TOMORROW AND I CANT DO A THING ABOUT IT... £8000. i cant even ask for compensation!.
CONTACT..
When you call there office they have 2 options 1 for new orders and 2 for previous business. I was no 14 in the que on previous business, so recalled new business they answered straight away. He also put the phone down on me! telling me i am holding up the line! why aren't all calls a priority. a massive red flag!! now this is turned in to a fight now, i feel, because of lies and massive dismissiveness that this company is just there to take your money!!
I run a company myself and IF ANY problems arise my first priority is to sort it out. its good customer care!! Not telling people we are to busy for this and putting down the phone on a paid client!. TWICE!.
I will up date on how this is going as soon as they resolve it. if they ever do!!
