Punctuality, Affordability

Tidiness, Workmanship, Trustworthiness

Description  We appointed Tarimo Civils / Joseph Mpofu to re-tar parts of our driveway

Feedback  We really wanted to give this apparent emerging business the work, we trusted Joseph, and we paid them 80% upfront. Joseph completely deceived us, provided shocking workmanship, and refused to come back and finish / correct the job, even after “promising”. They tarred a much smaller section of our driveway than what we paid for; their tarring crumbled even before they left; the kerbing they put in is astonishingly crooked, not cemented in, and fell over a week later; the potholes they were supposed fix remain; the new tar is not level with the existing tar as they did not correctly level the work; weeds are currently growing through the new tar; they did not cut the kerbing neatly when shorter pieces were needed, they just broke it off with ragged edges. Then they threw the last of their rubble down the hill onto someone else’s property, thinking we would not notice. Their website is a lie too. The pictures do not accurately represent their business and are improbable: the business address is actually a residential flat in Parow, and they are unknown at that address; they claim to have been in operation since 2013 but the Company was only registered 2 years ago in 2020; they are not VAT registered despite claiming projects of over R100m; and they failed to provide an invoice. We approached the Office of the Consumer Protector and they confirmed that the business address is false, that there is no office; the landline remains unanswered; and that Joseph avoids their calls, that he does not respond to emails or phone calls. I would love to attach pictures of their workmanship, but Kandua does not let me. Based on our experience we suggest that Tarimo Civils / Joseph Mpofu be completely avoided, they are absolutely bad, if not outright fraudulent operators.
