| I use Kirk of Bracey Builders all the time and he has always done me proud. He always turns up, does what he says he's going to do and charges exactly what he quotes, which is always very reasonable. |

| I wouldn't touch them with a Greeks!!! Friends patio sunk after a few months and in the end they had to get the builder that built their house to come and rectify the dodgy job. Price ended up being 40% more than the original quote - is that what you mean by "not binding"?? Stay away if I was you BillBarncale... |

| Hi Bill - May be worth contacting an english builder I know that does a lot of insurance work here. He lives in Lapta and I am sure would be interested. I will not give his no. now but will check first beforehand for you. |

| Thanks for all the replies I will call braceybuilders and get a quote for the job. Quality of work is the most important consideration for me so if if they do the job and do it well then I will happily recommend them to others. |

| You speak as you find i have met Kirk and he has done work for me built wardrobes odd jobs all completed to a high standard and reasonable costs a decent hard working guy and legal and paying his dues to the TRNC. If the company has done the patio and its not right then they fix it, on the other hand if he hasn't then the guy is entitled to defend his reputation as he is trying to earn a living and statements made by racoonchic and chicken run are slanderous and constitute deformation of character. If i was kirk i would check out the patio and if it wasn't his job i would stick chicken run and racoonchic under the patio would stop it from sinking again........ |

| I know Kirk quite well and you couldn't wish to meet a more amenable person. He is a very pleasant chap indeed. His e-mail persona is nothing like the man himself. He clearly feels very strongly about his company (quite rightly) and is bound to defend its reputation. |

| high all it has now come to light that cicken run was told this by sombody i thank him for emailing me an expressing his concern that he could have been wrong witch i am sure he is if not please will the person with this patio contact me direct as i would like to meet him this is a concern to me as i was emailed by one of the admiestrators last night with a yellow card and he did express that he had heard from a certain party that they were so pleased with the new room i had made buy installing a mezeen floor i did not do that part of this job but i did do a new kitchen and other parts of there referb this just goes to show how easy it is to cause a company lots of bad publicity when they are inocent of any blame if any body has a problem with my work or my company |

| blackpoolfan do you want to hold the towel or maybe mind your own .gates had a go at me about my burhans post not the other way round so in future i suggest you get the full story before dropping your 50 kurus worth in and once again i never doubted the fact that he could do the job. the fact that he got quite aggressive is unacceptable in any circumstance it would make any one think twice |

I beleive you to be a man of your word even though we have never met. |

| Racoonchic, The guy had a right to be aggressive he was being accused of something he claimed he hadn't done, most people would stand up for themselves unless of course they are a wimp. "Hold the towel or mind my own" haven't a clue what you are talking about, but i would gladly hold your towel while you dig the hole........ |

| Repeating something 2nd hand that we heard from someone else could be called, at best, hearsay, at worse total b*llocks. We shouldn't post as a fact, something we have only been told by others. |

| Bracey Builders are well known to myself and my wife Jan, and we agree totally with the majority of the remarks about Kirk and his workmanship, First rate guy, turns up works hard, gets the job done, 100% trustworthy, and a really genuine person, We have lived here almost two years, and Haven,t bothered joining the forum before, but I felt so strong about the bad press with regards to Kirk I decided to give it a go, ( plus the fact Im a bit of Richard Cranium with computors), I can understand Kirk getting wound up, at the end of the day he is legal, this costs him a great deal of money even if he,s not working, and you have so many illegal expats working cheaper and getting us all a bad name, We should support people like Bracey Builders |

| Message 51 - indeed - repeating "rumours"/"heresay" can cause no end of trouble, particularly in a place like NC. As has been shown here, it is only too easy to ruin someone's reputation and, worse case scenario, their livelihood. Message 52 - a very good recommendation for Bracey Builders - well said! J |
