Never Hire, "Kristian James Powell" . He ripped me off for 17,000 and left their house completely wrecked. Not only that, but he left a huge amount of waste on their front garden for at least two months and kept saying excuses to clear it. He usually tries to convince people by saying that his company is family-run, and is currently operating under the name "All Pro Construction", which is not registered. He makes promises but never keeps his word, and he has four different dissolved companies in the past. You can find similar comments on the internet about his previous companies too. It's sad to see someone like him walking free, and he's going to do this to many people. He usually signs people up for weekly payments and will try and get as much money he can from you and will eventually ghost you in the end. I hope people find all of his reviews before falling for his scam but he makes it difficult by constantly changing his company names. Service: Home renovations

Google his name. Kristian James Powell and this will tell you all you need to know. He's changed his business name a few times and scammed multiple people. He's also currently operating under All Pro Construction. He faked appointing a building inspector from TBC including faking an email coming from them (TBC got involved and confirmed this). The council also confirmed they'd had no notice from any other private agents for our address. Luckily we caught him in the act before starting the build, but he's left us with part of our house knocked down and 12,000 lighter with nothing to show for it. It's been 6 months and he has not cooperated to give us a refund. We now have to fund a legitimate and competent builder to fix his mess with 12,000 less in the bank. He will promise you the lowest price, but believe me you'll never see that money again and will have nothing but stress and devastation to show for it. He'll make you trust him, even befriend him. He'll respond to texts instantly and put you at ease... then once he has his money, he'll ghost you and make it almost impossible to get in touch with him. He has manipulated us to no end and made us question our reality amongst the midst of his lies. I hope this reaches you in time before paying that 20% deposit and agreeing to the weekly payments.

Kristian James Powell and his wife Joanna Powell have left my partner and I out of pocket to the sum of around 8K. He has a track record of ripping people off. He has had several companies that have been dissolved and was declared bankrupt last year. His wife Joanna Powell set up an account under the name All Pro construction on My Builder and my partner agreed a price with him to refurb a house and agreed a weekly payment schedule. My partner kept up with payments but Kris fell behind and eventually went ghost! My Builder have suspended the account. A Google search will reveal his many companies as well as his criminal record.
