WARNING

We would like to offer a word of warning if considering using the services of The Metal Craftsman. We were asked to pay upfront 75% of the total cost of our project, which was a substantial amount of money, and this was for materials to be delivered to our site, with an estimate of 4 weeks for completion of the work. 

Ed Middleton became unreliable from the second day, and continued to be unreliable, so that the initial 4 weeks quoted was soon passed, causing us great distress, and upset.

No materials were ever delivered to site and if I ever questioned Ed as to the time scale it was taking it was clear to me that he took offence.

We had no choice but to continue with them, as they had our money and we wanted desperately to get our project completed, even though some of his work is of poor standard. We are left with an unfinished carport, a storage unit that leaks when it rains and a summer house not even started.

So please BE AWARE of paying any money upfront as both Ed Middleton and Mandy Moore are quite happy to take your deposit, and will not return it even when part of the job is left incomplete and the remainder not started.

They have been reported to the consumer office and now a law suit pending. 

If anyone else has suffered the same way, with their current business “The Metal Craftsman” or any of their previous ventures, such as the horse sanctuary, or horse boxes and trailers, pet transport etc also based at the same Buzon (PO Box) in Antas please get in touch with me and I can put you in contact with our lawyers.

I presume you had a quote in writing with their CIF number and proof they were /are a legal company? 

So many people just rely on what people say, I have put many warnings on this site and some people take offence when questioned. Always get many quotes and don necessarily trust the people that speak your language
