Vishan Thathiah

Cost  R400 000

Description  He built cupboards according to interior designer specs for all bedrooms and mudroom

Feedback  He ghosted us toward the end of the work. He misrepresented his role as owner instead of sales rep. Fraudulent address and company name on contract and invoice. Did not complete the work he was contracted for. He has done this many times before. Surprised he was not vetted by this e-commerce site! His work was actually good. He gets a bad because you are can’t be sure if he is going to deliver or run away with your money! So unfortunate.

Carpenter

Cost  30,000

Description  Kitchen cupboards and 2 BIC

Feedback  He is a professional talker to get the contract. He lies and not trustworthy. He insisted on payments in advance and never completed the kitchen or 2 bedroom cupboards. The kitchen is falling apart. He refuse to take my calls. I have attorneys now involved in this issue as he had taken R30, 000.00 from me. He made me empty the 2 bedrooms and ready it for installation but never showed up. His excuses on what's up was chamberlains damaged the wood. When i called chamberlains they had no order from him and there were no such damages on any order. Since then he refuse to take my calls. He is a thief that takes peoples hard earned money without delivering what was agreed. Absolutely poor workmanship and not trustworthy. He talks about his elder daughter being sickly and losing weight and how his wife left her family behind in Dbn cos of him being an orphan.... Gains pity to get a job.... A professional talker to get a client to give him the contract. He makes promises and commitments that he cannot keep. Becareful as i don't want what he did to me to you.

Renovator

Description  Renovations

Feedback  Vish installed kitchen cabinets, countertops, wall tiles, and painted the whole kitchen. He came to work on time and I could trust him to work in my house. The prices he charged were reasonable and he cleaned up after himself. The problem was his service was of poor quality there are cracks on the sink and between cabinets.

Description  He repaired my kitchen cupboards

Feedback  Vish seemed quite professional and eager to do quality work. He completed the job and promised the work had a 1 year guarantee. A few weeks later I noticed he hadn’t finished off the edging on some cupboards and that some of the soft close hinges he had repaired were no longer soft close. Also, one of the hinges broke and the door is falling off. I contacted him and he said he’d come out and fix it. That was in September. He has promised a number of times that he’d come fix everything then simply hasn’t pitched up. He was supposed to come today but then did not pitch up again and has not answered my calls or responded to my messages.

Description  He repaired some shoddy kitchen cupboard work done by a previous contractor

Feedback  Vish did exactly what I asked him to. He had to replace some of the woodwork and hinges and he polished and finished off and sealed the whole kitchen, which hadn’t been done by the original contractor.
