A teacher claims the people she hired to build decking in her garden left the job half finished – and then blocked her on Facebook.She now worries she’ll never get the money back as she’s no longer able to contact the builders, a father and son duo, onDeborah, a special needs teacher from Washington, Tyne and Wear, contacted three companies for a quote to install decking, and chose the father and son – who aren’t being named – and paid up front.
‘I handed it over all at once, just to get it out of the way. I’m so trusting – I should never have done it.’Deborah confirmed the job dates and times over Facebook, and the pair were set to start the work on July 7.She said: ‘They brought a bucket of old screws – they looked like they’d been taken from other jobs. They were covered in plaster!
The pair were supposed to return on July 8, but only one of them showed up, and he worked for ‘another couple of hours’ before leaving.She sent multiple messages between July 10 and 17, and on July 18 they finally replied and said they’d ‘sort something out’ – but never did.
