I found just in time that displaying a Fed of Master Builders logo on your website doesn’t necessarily mean you are a member. I checked out some builders quoting for work at our property on the FMB website and they weren’t listed. When I took them up on this they airily assured me it ‘didn’t matter’ as they would ‘do a great job’. Nor were they with Checkatrade or any of the other reassuring bodies they claimed endorsement from.

He's a total charlatan. I also got "stung" by Mr Jewhurst.

Oh my gaard - he's grown his hair long! That is quite a look 

He’s in Ibiza, http://buyinibiza.com/

I've been enjoying reading this forum. Just as an FYI he is renting out a room in Ibiza on airbnb, let's hope he's not harming poor unsuspecting tourists

Espen Norse. Rhymes with remorse...Like I said, his parents must be so proud. So proud.

Espen Jewhurst or Espen Norse - it makes no difference. Soon, the disastrous building project he walked away from will have been completed by people who aren't cowboys.

Left me with no roof and a kitchen which was a 3 foot deep hole in the ground. Disgraceful behaviour. But no remorse from the Norse.

Changed his name to Espen Norse

Espen, I know you read these and I'm expecting your call. This isn't over.

Yes, I like how Sissel Jewhurst is down as a director. Job title "Housewife". I wonder if she's still massaging feet? http://sisselsone.no/index.php?option=c ... i&Itemid=2

Ah, Espen Jewhurst and his engineering degree. Only thing he engineers is lies. How many thousands of pounds of other peoples money did he spend on trips to South Africa and Grand Prix in Abu Dhabi while rain poured in through the unfinished and abandoned building sites? Then there was all the aggro from his builders. I had to get the police involved 4 times to deal with threats of violence or theft. In my last call, his builder said he could have me taken out with just one call to a hit man. Didn't have the guts to do it himself, I guess. John and Sissel Jewhurst must be so proud of their little entrepreneur.

Also, he is now "Managing Director" of Smallacre Investments along with his father, John Jewhurst, and another director who amazingly has the name Espen Jewhurst too.

I think we need to take this further than a simple discussion forum. People need to know what he is doing, let's try and think creatively as to how we can stop this bad behaviour. Does anyone have any journalistic contacts? My friends at the Mail and the Independent say this is too small for them to look at but they mentioned looking into local newspapers. Perhaps drafting an open letter to a newspaper with a true and fair description of what has been happening to us?

Could a site administrator tell me if I'm allowed to put Espen's contact details on this forum? I would be happy to pass them on to anyone who needs to contact him

He went to Oxford Brookes for about 5 years and didn't even graduate.

He didn't do engineering. He did property management at Oxford Brooke's. When I first met him he told me he rowed for Oxford (university). Turns out it wasn't true. His brother did engineering though and is a decent chap.

Oops, so over excited that I seem to have posted twice.

If anyone is still looking for builders, we used Collinstown in Streatham and would definitely use them again. They did exactly what they said they would and prices only went up when I kept adding things on.

I have no links to them other than being a client.
