Kobus van Bloomstein is a scam artist. Please do not use him at all. He sent this “father” to come do a quote for me on a carport, I paid R22470 deposit on the 9th March 2019 The first excuse was that his machine to bend the material was broken. After 2 weeks then he had a family emergency then 2 weeks later his bakkie was broken. To this day (9 October 2019) he hasn’t paid me a cent back and the excuses why he can’t just continue.

I paid this guy R15000 deposit in April 2018, he did not pitch up to do the job in August 2018 to start the job, stating that he gave another contractor to do my job on his behalf as he was to busy. This other contractor also did not pitch for the job. He has paid me R11500 in total From the 15K. This amount was paid monthly, from February this year, he stopped paying, telling me I gave him another contract to start which he used his money to buy material, which was not the case, as I did not give him the go ahead nor did he tell me he is ordering material for my job, that’s just an excuse. He has done many jobs from Feb till now, but says he got no money, He wants to pay me R100 a month for the balance he owe me. I do not suggest this company for any job based on my experience with this guy.

This review is hopefully to prevent others from losing money to unscrupulous businesses like this one. On the 03/12/2018 I paid the owner of carport and steel specialists, Kobus, R6230 for three steel gates I required. This was the deposit he asked for which was 70% of the total figure. Kobus has since run with the money, refuses to answer my calls, and it is apparent he will not be doing the work or returning the money. Please be very aware when dealing with this company if in fact it is a real company. Kobus appears like a well dressed and professional person, he will take measurements and even provide some pre-sales service like asking the type of installation, colours, etc, once the deposit is handed over, then he will buy time with excuses and finally complete silence. Their quote indicates that they operate from the Lyttleton, Pretoria area.
