DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE!

This review includes multiple complaints Attie is absolutely unprofessional and disrespectful. Complaint #1 About a year ago, I contacted Attie to fix a sewage pipe that was problematic (old house so the pipe needed to be replaced with a more modern equivalent) and necessitated the digging up of a portion of my driveway. Initially, I thought I was going to repave my whole driveway so he didn't quote me for closing the hole. I subsequently decided I would have his team close the whole, for which he charged me an additional R1100. His team came and did a terrible job of closing the hole so the concrete sank and I still had a hole in my driveway. This was in February of 2022. I have been chasing him for a year to fix the hole and been given every excuse under the sun as well as him telling me he's "coming tomorrow" and never showing up. He is disrespectful of peoples time and shows himself to be deeply unprofessional. I have given him every opportunity to fix it (constantly messaging to enquire when he will fix it) and when I told him today that I would leave a bad review he became rude and belligerent, even blaming me for his not finishing the job and threatening me. I have never received such bad service as a homeowner ever. I had another service provider finally repair the botched job. they charged me R320 to fix my driveway, thus proving not only is Attie unprofessional, but he also charges wildly ****mer prices. Complaint #2: Today, out of the blue, my geyser started leaking. I was recommended a plumber by a neighbour. After looking at the geyser he told me whoever had installed the most recent element and thermostat had installed it badly resulting in rusting that had ultimate resulted in this leak. I asked him if this could be a simple mistake that any plumber could make or if it was shoddy workmanship. He said it was the type of mistake a good plumber would not make. The element was so rusted it was falling apart. I'm sure it will shock you, dear reader, to hear that Attie and his team were the last people to touch my geyser...
