Stay far away from Jaap Diedericks from pool and paving (platinum pools). He installed our pool in December 2016. The work done was of horrific standard. The entire pool has shifted inside the cavity they dug because it was not well supported with the filling sand. The pool has also various “bubbles” where there is no support underneath, causing numerous cracks. Hence our pool is also leaking constantly. Despite numerous attempts to get him to come and fix his poor craftsmanship, he just makes excuses all the time. It has been 3 months and he still hasn’t pitched. I will never ever recommend that someone make use of his services. The only thing Jaap is good at is making new excuses not to fix his mistakes.

Never use Pools and Paving (previously: Platinum Pools) with the same owner: Jaap Diedericks. In past three years he changed his telephone numbers 28 times. He collects deposits, sometimes even starts work to gain time and than disappears with money and switches off his telephone. You will never know his ID number and his credit card speed point machine never works therefore you can’t get your money back for the services not delivered. Jaap took R-66 000 deposit from me and stopped answering my calls. When too many victims are trying to sue him he closes one company (Platinum Pools ) and opens another, now Pools and Paving. So the show goes on for years. He is a professional thief and fraudster constantly escaping jail. Remember the name of this con man: Jaap Diedericks – POOLS and PAVING. For more info call Peter: ********** 717

Be warned of Jaap Diedericks who first traded under Platinum pools and has now changed his name to Pool and Paving. His work is absolutely sub standard with LOTS of issues appearing within the first week after installation of the pool and he just ignores requests to attend to the issues. Check on Hallo Peter - lots of comments wrt Platinum Pools. Now he changed his name to Pool and Paving. Problems from day 1! After we paid our deposit he did not commit for MONTHS as to when he will install the pool. Then he eventually rocked up and just installed the shell and filled it with water but NO pump. He said he had cash flow issues so couldnt install the pump. Eventually the water went green. After lots of threats and actually paying him now in advance just to get the pump installed he did eventually install it. Now there is a leak on the pool only 3 months after the pool has been installed and he ignores all my calls and messages even though I can see he did read them. Big shark. Stay away and never do business with him. His number to be able to further identify him is + ********** 9507. I also supply a photo of him. Be warned unless u want to be done in by this shark.

We had a pool installed in January 2017 and were happy with the initial installation. As months progressed we started discovering that the paving was starting to flake and come apart around the fibreglass shell. It has now gotten to a point where it really looks terrible in less than a year of installation. I fear that it will totally disintegrate soon. Furthemore, the paving had also started pulling away from the pool, leaving a nice big gap between paving and pool. I have been trying my best to get the owner Jaap Diederiks back to fix the rushed installation. Initially he promised to come and have a look in November, then said he was too busy, and the excuses mounted. He is now ignoring all my attempts of contact and has been for over a month. His phone rings, but he doesn't answer. He reads my whatsapp messages, but doesn't reply. Don't trust this guy, he is a dodger!!!
