Watchdog Series 34: Episode 6 - Rogue Traders Segment

I mirrored the video in an attempt to circumvent the Content ID system (needless to say it didn't work).
In this episode Matt Allwright investigates Indesign limited of Barnet, a kitchen design company, who supply ill fitting kitchens which often aren't even the right colour, leaving many out of pocket.
Plus a bit of Jona Lewie!

Very brave women sneaks out leaving the old man to deal with it alone !

[@chrismo3142]

Love the way to woman just walks out, like she’s not to blame at all 😡

[@wildcard4062]

Thought she had the keys and would leave Tony there

[@mohammedpanju2236]

She was desperate for a wee and a shit.

[@ehsansaidable]

I tell you what this is one of my favourite programmes to watch on KZbin THANK YOU.

[@nickbenke3306]

I tore out and refitted my new kitchen myself! I'll never do it again though, respect to the skilled people who do it professionally because I tore out a lot of hair. But it looks fantastic! £700! Watching you make these maggots squirm is so satisfying, great clip!

[@rickybojangles162]

It's hard work. I installed kitchens and bathrooms for a living and theres so much to think about that the average customer doesn't even consider. Even down to measuring properly, which you'd be surprised how many people mess that up

[@thenodfather]

@it is what it aint I see you're part of the British Welcoming Society 🙄

[@thenodfather]

@it is what it aint Nice attitude EDL Scumbag. Your kind can't say anything anyhow, because when you had your little Empire going around the world infecting other nations, you thought that was okay and it should only the British Empire allowed to go into other countries but people from other countries not allowed to go back into Britain. How wrong you were to think like that. Bigotry/Racism doesn't work, because it is in many cases that non-nationals have made Britain better. So long Keyboard Warrior!

When she is measuring the stooge kitchen, she never actually puts any measurements down. She measures the boiler, then puts the tape away.

Love the part where they ask the delivery man to help them upstairs in a delivery driver and if I had to do this every single day I would not see my family till at least midnight people just think delivery drivers only deliver to them and no one else every day most people wouldn’t last 10 minutes doing my job

They may well get away with it in this world. But on the day of judgement everything will be exsposed and paid back in deeds to the people they did it too

That would be nice if true but will be dead like us all and that is it finito....

[@yungaterror]

watchdog is informative but i wish they would also provide us with trust worthy suppliers, electricians e.t.c because anyone can easily be duped. They should also state what it is to look out for, I mean alot of us cannot afford a proper interior designer.

His wording at the end was fantastic n bang on the little sly silver fox bstrd n his witch assistant

[@hollis6445]

My family owns a kitchen manufacturing business, but we make our own cabinets AND traditional doors from scratch, we also provide fitters and deliver our furniture built, with doors already hung and wireworks fitted (as opposed to dumped on a pallet). If you were that way inclined, you could set up a kitchen business from your front room these days, as you can buy cheap pre built cabinets (made in China), vinyl doors from one of 30 manufacturers and get it all delivered straight to the customer. You just need a cheap CAD system and off you go. Do we make mistakes? Your damn right we do, but we go straight to site and sort it out. I guess thats why we're still trading 35 years later with 15 members of staff and all of our new business comes from recommendations and referrals. Just be careful when buying a kitchen, remember the old saying "you buy cheap, you buy twice"... It's definitely true in the case of anything to do with home improvements! Oh and also buy local! Give us small guys a chance instead of going straight to the big boys!

[@ahodgey2000]

The E60 M5 in the background was by far the best bit of this

[@MrInsomniac19]

I'm suprised Larissa waited for him, was half expecting them to come out just in time to see her pulling out the driveway

[@lydialynagh3309]

He had the keys 😂

[@MTCoblivsicas12345]

It takes 6-8 weeks to get a full kitchen ready. Nothing ever comes all at once and there is usually a few items that need to be reordered either they are damaged, missing on delivery or wrong sizes. Just go with reputable high street retailers they will always put things right.

[@lukewarm.]

seems like mate's favourite place to stand is right in someone's cardoor

[@petercousins1645]

This lady should enlist the high court sherrifs to deal with this, they seem pretty good at getting peoples money back off crooks & wiping the smirk off their faces!!

Matt has balls! Good on him! If you watch this program a lot, you'd think Britain was full of rogues? Might be something do with Victorian roots and things like Oliver Twist?

[@kenj8uk]

So what can they do to get thier money back ?????....can they confiscate their car ?.....because if It was illigal the clampers would be there before I write this email.

[@Shimmerstrike1]

It be good if matt would be quiet for a bit to make an uncomfortable silence so they'd have to say something.

Last I heard Larrisa is employed in a house if ill repute and Tony denies he was ever her handler he was just doing a friend a favor...

[@phil955i]

After she failed to pay up after being taken to court why didn't the county court claimants instruct the high court bailiffs to collect their money?

[@whitedust696]

Never pay upfront to builders ..full stop

[@Wasmachineman]

Matt's puns really rose to the occasion didn't they?

[@BiggerbyteNet]

Thanks for the upload

[@cyanidedroid]

Why would you pay upfront? You only ever pay AFTER the work is complete.

[@londontrada]

They're paying for the actual kitchen, sink, cabinets and stuff. Then they get their own installer.

[@ge2719]

if that was all they were paying for then how do the people doing the ordering earn any money? part of it is their profit. you dont give them that until the order is done right, and you dont give them the money for the things they are ordering until they give you a list of everything and you can check it's not completely wrong. otherwise someone is paying for crap you dont need with your money.

[@londontrada]

@@ge2719 they design and build the kitchen and make a profit on it. It's just a few bits of wood really.

[@ge2719]

you said they are paying for the kitchen, like thats why they "have" to pay upfront, because they are paying for a product. like if you bought something from a website you'd have to pay for it before they send it. but you dont pay for something 2 months before they send it, and you dont pay for someones services until they have shown they have provided the service to an acceptable standard. so in this case, their profit they take for buying the bits of wood for someone else, they shouldn't be paid that until they have done the job.

[@londontrada]

@@ge2719 that's the way it works. It's a design a build service. If you didn't pay, they wouldn't make the kitchen. Most companies that do it are very good and don't rip people off.

15:30 Ahahahaha hidden easter egg, from the Rick Rolling episode. Coming up next on BBC: Can't pay, well take it away. Paul Bohill and Steve Pinner, gets a case, where a fat fuck can't pay his bills, company about to go bankrupt and the guy doesn't have the money, thus can't pay. But...... then Paul spots a Mercedes in the driveway

[@Davz616]

And as they're giving Tony a good dressing down I will keep nice and quiet and slowly walk away out the door all nonchalantly and nobody will notice. I guarantee you if she had the car keys she would of been gone and left poor old Tony to it lol

[@bmate8559]

[@scrmepal]

I like Rogue Traders, at least they make the public aware of the scumbag traders in this country, and they sometimes get the money back for the customers. Shame that nothing ever seems to get done about sorting out the laws to make these b'stards pay for their crimes. Personally i think some of these crooks need a visit from the boys, if you know what i mean!

To be absolutely fair, if the delivery driver wasn't insured for carrying the units upstairs, and he slipped and hurt himself, not only would he have to take time off sick ( Probably unpaid ), he wouldn't be entitled to any compensation , so I can see his point. What SHOULD have happened is this bunch of buffoons should have sent a couple of guys to help carry the stuff inside.
