Frank cunningham - Dismal driveway job

Just a warning about Frank from Galashiels who gave us a headed notepaper quote, talked a really good game and tarmacked a very long driveway and yard area with his two sons. Seemed to take a great deal of care over the preparation and left loose finer stones to settle in, promising to come back and sweep it, fix low patches and insert buckets in the two drainage wells he'd dug out. He never returned, phone is blocked and the drive has pot-holed again over the (very mild) winter. Pity I didn't find this site sooner! Beware!

Well done Cassie for naming and shaming. A lot of people are scared about doing it, so hats of to you.
Sorry to hear about your driveway

Tullamore - my county town! Not traditionally regarded as a centre for the Travellers, but why then use a Dublin address?

Is that the same frank that comes from stow? Chubby grey haired guy?

Sorry not to reply sooner. Thanks for the replies. Frank is definitely a Galashiels man; not Irish, not chubby, not grey, he works with his two young sons - young Franky is a stock car racing champ. I'll post some photos for GB Groundworks when I'm next home.
