A very poor experience with Drew Smith Carpentry…
My experience with Drew Smith Carpentry during a loft conversion project was extremely disappointing.
The project was agreed as a fixed-price contract and involved the construction of two bedrooms and a bathroom within a new dormer roof. Throughout the works, numerous concerns arose regarding the quality of workmanship and the overall management of the project.
The most serious issues involved water entering the property on two separate occasions while the roof was under construction. This resulted in newly installed timber materials becoming saturated and affected rooms below. A water pipe was also accidentally damaged during the works, requiring further attention. In addition, a significant number of items required remedial work before completion, including flooring, finishing details, and various aspects of the installation that did not meet the standard I expected.
As concerns continued to arise, I was forced to document issues, compile snagging lists, and issue multiple formal letters requesting responses and corrective action. Despite these efforts, many matters remained unresolved for extended periods, resulting in further disruption and stress.
I have retained photographs, videos and written correspondence relating to the issues raised throughout the project. Based on my experience, I would not use this company again and cannot recommend their services.
