BEWARE! 3 County Court Judgements against and a new name!
We have recently won a County Court Judgement against Nigel Dinneen’s company (at the time called Alderley Bespoke Orangeries and Conservatories Ltd) as his builder walked out of our orangery project on 31.5.24 (having started in January), leaving us to face a nightmare of extra costs both to complete the work and to put right what had been badly installed (such as the plumbing, the floor, the underfloor heating and the bathroom).
We are aware that the company did not pay the local Painter and Decorators that they sub-contracted, nor the Electrician. Both have since won County Court Judgements against the company.
There were so many issues with the work it would be impossible to list them all, but as an example, we had a Court Report on the fitting of the Underfloor Heating and they were found liable to pay us £9,955 in court (needless to say we haven’t seen a penny):
‘In conclusion the whole system including the screed will need to be removed and a completely new system installed, the whole floor has been installed incorrectly and is not safe or functional, the floor structurally is barely holding together and will fail within a few months. The heat mat used is not designed for this type of installation and should not have been used’.
On 2.7.24 Nigel Dinneen tried to close down the company (fraudulently stating that it had not been trading for the past 3 months) while still asking for additional (unagreed) money to come and finish the job (at £800 a day for one builder!). His reason for not returning to complete the job was that ‘didn’t believe he would be paid’ (we had paid every instalment on time, just not the extra demands).
We were able to prevent the company being shut down, but Nigel nevertheless has since set up two further active companies, one on 21.6.24 and one on 8.7.24 – both offering ‘construction of domestic buildings’ as the website advertises, with the same registered address.
o Alderley Bespoke Design and Build Ltd (Company Number: 15793571)
o Elegancia Homes (Company Number: 15825087)
Of course this means that the public County Court Judgements will be hidden from prospective clients as they are against the company name rather than the individual or the registered address. It seems that this isn’t the first time the company name has been changed to something very similar.
This isn’t just my opinion (which I know Nigel will argue with) – it’s a matter of legal fact, and I have the Court Reports on the quality of the work etc. You can search Trustonline for Alderley Bespoke Orangeries and Conservatories Ltd (45, Duesbury Court Mickleover Derby DE30UP) and you will find the three County Court Judgements. There is a small fee of £6 but it will save you a lot if your experience is anything like ours!
