Since this story....
Leanne and Adam have found out that Trelawny did not submit their application to Leeds City Council for building control.
It has also come to light that they have not followed the structural engineers drawings and fit the steels in the wrong place and incorrectly spliced them, thus resulting in all calculations having to be resubmitted and drawn again (currently the outcome is unknown as to whether anything has to be ripped out/ reordered at this sage pending engineers report)
Scaffolding has not been paid for, therefore they are currently having to repay for Scaffolding hire that was already paid to trelawny, as well as new structural engineers fees and skip hire.
Other victims who are in the same position have had confirmation that their steels are incorrect/ inadequate for the weight and unfortunately mean that any "work" trelawny claim to have carried out, is worthless and now costing double to rectify these errors.
Claiming the jobs are all 45% complete is utterly astonishing and most Jobs have not got off the ground, and for those that had, now have to go back to square one!
One victim had only had Scaffolding erected and paid out £20k for the privilege.
Leaking roofs/ water damaged bedrooms.
Incorrect materials.... a long list of reasons why the jobs are NOT 45% complete.
They claim / blame all their workforce having covid when we all questioned where the workmen were?
We have evidence this is a lie, and can prove as such from said employees.
Leanne had one set of employees turn up to her house to collect some tools on the week she had been told they had covid, the employees did not know that she had been told this and advised that they were in fact working and had just been sent to another Job.
They state:
“We spent all the money on labour and material through the hard times. The problem was, when we started to run out of money, we started to grasp at other jobs. We had to pick which jobs we could complete to finish. Naivety, yes. But criminal? No.”
UTTERY CRIMINAL that they were taking payment after payment off new customers right up until new year, knowing full well the jobs were never going to get finished or even off the groud, they had a backlog of customers before Leanne who had been waiting nearly 4 months for their jobs to be completed...all the while taking £17.5k upfront and informing her that her job would only take 6 weeks. They were dishonest from the start and still continued to take on new customers after, all the while having customers waiting since June.
Not the workings of a genuine, honest set of people.
We know that Mike Turner has previous convictions for fraud and dishonesty, as well as a prison sentence for conning a widow.
He is an established liar and conman, who can easily spin a tale.
One family (one of the longest waiting customers) are currently sleeping in their living room on airbeds with a severely ill child with a heart condition, due to Trelawny completely wrecking the whole of their upper level. They have numerous distressing hospital visits and have no home to come back to, their child has no bed or space to rest comfortably at home.
Their project started in June 2021. They knew this and still chose not to go back and complete their job.
We have yet to speak to any customer of Trelawny who have had their extension/ loft completed.
Another family have also had their dorma built against architectural drawings, which now means this family may need planning permission before they can even begin to Continue any work, something they did not require had Trelawny followed the original drawings.
The unnecessary stress, anxiety, nausea and money worries this company have caused these people, as well as the physical damage they have caused is beyond words and utterly unforgivable.
As well as the poor contractors that were also not paid for their work/ service/ equipment.
A group of Leeds homeowners claim Trelawney Roofing left them with 'bomb sites' then failed to finish the jobs
