Colum Barry in Banbridge

Colum accepted an invitation to quote for a full house re-plumb through MyBuilder on 24th Oct 20, he called out to the property on 26th October 2020. He had advised he would have a quote in a few days.
I followed up with him on 31st Oct 20 and he came back shortly after with a price that I was happy with. He advised me he would start the job later in the week and that he would send across a list of materials.
I waited for several days and had still not received a list of materials, by the Thursday I was sceptical whether or not he would be starting as there was only one working day of the week left and there had still been no materials gathered for him.
I sent him an SMS message on the Thursday evening to see when he was planning to start, he came back to say he would start the following Monday. I sent a direct message asking will Monday turn to Wednesday and then Friday. I advised I had other tradesmen lined up to start works which could only be done after the first fix plumbing was sorted, Colum knew I had already been let down by another plumber and the plumbing was already running behind.
Colum advised me he was running behind due to breakdowns, I asked him if I held the tiler back and would he still be able to get it sorted. He advised he would. He advised again he would send a list of materials across to get him started.
He has gone past two start dates, has not sent over a list of what is needed and not a word from him. I'm left looking for another plumber again.
