Minor issue with the scrap which was left unbagged on the balcony making it more difficult for the scrap men to remove safely.
However, there were many problems dealing with IMD. Prior to work starting I was told they worked 8-6pm, in reality on some days they worked 10-1pm and within our bathroom fit there were days when they didn't attend our property as they went off to do other jobs which greatly extended the time that we didn't have a working bathroom for. We had little to no notice of this. They were very messy whilst they were working and did not clean up after themselves, we agreed for them to leave their tools in a bedroom whilst they were working and at the end of the project that bedroom had paint all over the floor, the new bath had dirty marks on the side and the bathroom floor was left very dusty.
The wrong bath waste disposal unit was fitted (this was due to Victoria Plum sending the wrong item), however, when the correct item was sent and we asked Dimitrov (in charge of IMD) to change it he said it would be too difficult to change it and left saying the job was finished. We spoke to Victoria Plum who said it could be changed and they spoke to Dimitrov on our behalf. After that, Dimitrov was able to come back at the next day convenient to us and make the changes which took very little time (barely an hour). He also left the bathroom much cleaner/tidier than the first time. The other bathroom fitters that worked with Dimitrov were always very polite and friendly and I would happily employ them again, however, Dimitrov often lacked communication and as a woman I found he frequently talked over me, I would not use his services again.
He also left waste material from the work he carried out for me, even though at the start I was told that all waste material would be taken away in the waste bag provided.
Edit
In response to Dimitrov's response.
1. I have stated I am happy with the finished product.
2. I enquired about your working hours with Victoria Plum and was told they had asked you and it would be 8-6pm. I am aware that they spoke to you on our behalf about the shorter hours you were working.
3. You did not state that rubbish would be left over after the job, you told us it would all fit into the waste bag and be collected.
4. The second time around you left the bathroom clean but not the first time. I have stated this in my review.
5. We did not change our mind during the fit. The two things we asked to be re-done were the bath waste disposal unit as the wrong colour had been fitted and we asked for the sink to be moved as you installed it in a different location to on our plan.
I've read another review where someone left you negative comments and I read your reply which stated that the client was difficult to work with and kept changing their mind etc and I wondered whether that was true or whether you were just trying to discredit the negative review. Now you have done the same thing to me, I know you were just hoping to discredit the review.
After telling them and showing them the problem they ignored me and boarded it until I spoke to them both a second time. These guys are a mess and not qualified as this should not happen if you are a real professional (simple stuff). They'd literally filled my front bedroom with filthy tools so it was unusable.
This morning Dimitrov decided to pack up his tools and leave with no real explanation. Even though he'd taken £1800 and left me with an unfinished bathroom, skip, materials everywhere, and unfitted kitchen worktops.
Be careful because there are plenty of these guys out there who want to £600-£800 a day doing nothing while hiring out dirt cheap unqualified labour to do your house. It took an entire day to skim one small wall and an entire day to do simple pipe work. Waterproofing that's put on so thin its coming off.
I don't believe any of those reviews are real and if so I feel sorry for the customers as I wouldn't dare to look at what lies beneath.
Id strongly recommend IMB for future bathroom services, no matter how big or small.
