Farnellfencing Reviews 2

I should be grateful the work didn't proceed, given the previous review of this company's work.
After accepting a (very low) Farnell quote and paid a 30% deposit for fencing repairs on 16th March, 2026. I have the receipt for my deposit and all of the business information available on this business.
I attempted to obtain a date when the work would commence and received a tardy reply to say they would be "reworking the calendar' after the Easter break. Nothing since then until a text on Wednesday 29th where they advised they were closing the business, and would refund deposits in full.
I have attempted to contact the company by e-mail, text and phone call in the past week. No replies, and my e-mails were returned by the Postmaster!
I have contacted the Commerce Commission, my bank and Citizens' Advice Bureau. Short of going to the Disputes Tribunal, my deposit is probably paying for a nice holiday for Chris, Alyana and Cam.
I know I'm not the only one they have 'scammed'...

My dealings with Farnell Fencing have been extremely stressful. The work they undertook lacked care, knowledge and most of all skill. Despite having them come back to remedy issues that were substantially unacceptable they still failed to deliver what is acceptable workmanship. What should have been a straightforward job resulted in damage to our home and a fence that needs to be rebuilt again from scratch. They do not have any qualifications for basic building and this shows in the finished work. Highly disappointed and disillusioned.
