Detailed reviews
I am so humiliated and gutted that I employed this person - Ian Lockwood. EVERYTHING he said was lies! Southern building and interors is not a business anyone should use unless they want shoddy work, excuses and months of communication for nothing! Ian costantly uses his injuries and mental health issues as as excuse for not turning up.

I employed Ian Lockwood/ southern building and interiors to build a small deck for me. Starting date was agreed in march. Started out ok....then the excuses came rolling in.

I wish like everyone else here has seen this feedback before signing up with Ian Lockwood - trading as SOUTHERN BUILDING & INTERIORS LIMITED, Company Number 7169133. Have commissioned Ian to do deck & temporary steps, the temporary steps alone failed miserably to get our Code Compliance Cert. He took our 20% deposit, & didn't even start the job. All excuses having a surgery, or currently being in the ambulance - he emailed us that refund will be made in end of Oct now it's November
Ian. please stop owning a business. "Renovated our laundry into a bathroom . I spent most of my time chasing Ian to start , come back and finishing the job . The shower area was not square and has to get Ian back to fix two more times . Eventually the plumber got his builder to fix and shower was installed by plumber . The plumber was never reimbursed for approx $1000 , even though Ian said he would . The arguments I had to get the project finished was a daily battle . I have been in the
Ian Lockwood was hired to do a couple of smaller jobs at our place (fencing/decking). He showed up for the first week and completed some work (after us paying 50% upfront deposit for both jobs) and then the issues started. Started dodging our phone calls, saying he would be there but then not even showing up with no explanation as to why. </p><p>He'd drop off some materials and just started making excuses as to why he wasn't on site but would never call to advise what was happening or where he
