DO NOT HIRE THIS PERSON!!!
DO NOT HIRE THIS PERSON!!! I wish I could give a negative rating, DO NOT HIRE THIS PERSON! We paid Bruce over R32K for a pond renovation that was begun and never completed. From the start Bruce was unreliable, dishonest and totally unprofessional. We are now sitting with a brick and cement shell for our pond extension and do not have the new pump, new filter, fibre-glassing, water feature, glass tank feature, piping and connections, pond chemicals or even any materials (beyond what was used in the brick shell) that we paid for. Meanwhile, despite promising the last time we saw him, that he would be back the next day to continue the job, Bruce has disappeared and never returned. He required a 75% deposit upfront and insisted on immediate payment when we did the EFT's. He then kept on asking us for more and more advances over and above the 75% deposit until we had paid him over R32K. The last straw was when he claimed he lost his car keys and needed another 1K advance to call a locksmith so he could come to site. We paid him that and 20 mins later he claimed his debit orders swallowed the 1K and that he needed more. We had not looked into him beforehand as we found him on Kandua, which supposedly vets the pros it connects you with (a very costly mistake). However, after being ******* by him, we did a Google search and it appears that Bruce has been doing this to people for many years, under at least 3 different company names. We are now having to find someone else to continue the work while Bruce sits somewhere with our money. He is sly in that he starts work with the cheap materials (bricks and cement) and buys none of the expensive materials and then he disappears. Because he's done "some" work, it then becomes a civil case and not a legal one. Please, do not make the same mistake we did and hire Blue Water Pools and Home Improvements or any company run by Bruce Mutch!!! Make sure you hire someone who is accredited with the NSPI (https://www.nspi.co.za/) only (wish we knew about them beforehand).

Bruce Mutch ****mer
Bruce is a professional ****mer. He has operated under various company names for pools and construction. I fell victim to Golden Signature Pools. Be aware of him and don’t let him do any work for you. Definitely do not give him money. He ****med me out of R25000

HIT AND RUN POOL MAN!
<p>Warning to all! This man takes your money, gives you pitiful stories about his wife, his children, and more ..... and doesnt complete anything he starts! He treats his labourers shockingly and leaves your premises with uncompleted work and garbage everywhere! He operated under the Name Pool Pro's ..... which I understand has now been closed down. Had I only researched him, I would never have used his services! </p> <p> </p>

Warning to locals looking for pool / building work
Please be warned to citizens in the Cape Town area, DO NOT allow a Mr Bruce Mutch to talk you into doing any work on your property and DO NOT give out any money. Many people have experienced that once you accept his contract and pay 50% deposit you are assured to have problems, personally I paid R7000.00 deposit to build a Koi pond, 2 x locals were dropped off to do the work with no supervision, after 2 x days he did not return to complete the work. After some investigation many people response that they too had the same experience and have gone to the small claims court with no success.
