Appalling experience with Lewis - he was very friendly in the first instance. Came to look at the fridge freezer said he knew what was wrong and would order the part and come and fix it. I paid £88 for the labour but he never returned any further messages or fixed the fridge.
Was scammed , came with a tool kit , looked at dishwasher, told me he would order a part & be in touch ,stupidly paid £88 call out in cash , he has ghosted me ever sinse ,3 weeks ago now
DO NOT USE THIS IS A SCAM !!!!!!
Came to me house for 20 minutes, said it was door lock. Told £88 to fit only need to pay for part when fitted and never heard back from him. Bloke is a scammer for what I have been reading.
DO NOT USE LEWIS. HE ONLY TAKES YOUR MONEY AND THEN GHOSTS YOU.
Lewis came to my house (on the third arrangement) and told me I needed a new belt for my tumble dryer. He said he would go away and order one and come back to me, but that I needed to pay the call out charge first. SO I did. Since then, NOTHING. I have a broken work tumble dryer, and he has not responded to me in four weeks. I have tried phoning and texting and nothing. I am now £80 out of pocket and I will have to pay another person to start the process all over again. I DON NOT RECOMMEND HIM. and I see from the reviews below, I am not the first person he has done this too, so it's a pattern. AVOID HIM HE IS RIPPING PEOPLE OFF.
As others have said turned up, I stupidly paid the call out fee and then he vanished despite me calling and leaving numerous messages. He's a rip off merchant. Avoid at all costs.
Total (deleted by the administrator).
Came out to look at fridge. Advised probably sensors and would order. Advised fine that it was running hot (that’s what compressors do apparently) and not worried that this happened shortly after defrosting and restarting system.
Then ghosted for a bit and ignored mutliple attempts to contact RE sensors that were going to be fitted.
Spoke to more reputable engineer who advised barn door compressor issue and very bad advice to leave running as could have caused fire!
Phoned from different phone and lo/behold was just about to call as senors just arrived and was going to pop round to fit that afternoon (honest guv’).
Got quite shirty when asked if qualified to look at gas component of refrigerator system and suspect not qualified to do this so bit dishonest to advertise as able to diagnose and repair refrigerators.
Agreed to refund half the charge as not coming back to repair bit then proceeded to ignore all contact again.
Think been successful in raising chargeback with bank though.
Warning – Avoid This Individual
We had a very poor experience with (deleted by the administrator), who we now believe to be highly untrustworthy. He visited our home and claimed our fridge needed a new fan. He charged us £88 for the call-out and said he would order the part and return to install it. Unfortunately, he never came back, and he stopped answering calls and messages.
We later had the fridge assessed by a reputable company, who informed us the actual issue was a faulty compressor—completely unrelated to the fan (deleted by the administrator)claimed was the problem. The fridge has since been condemned.
We strongly advise against using this person’s services. Save your time and money by choosing a well-known and reliable provider. While they may charge more, at least you’ll get proper advice, follow-up, and accountability.
I was also scammed by this (deleted by the administrator)..also received my money back but only by digging in and promising to tarnish his name..for anyone else who has not received there money back..he is on Facebook and company name is on companies house with address. If you contact CAB they can raise a case against him. Don't just accept as a loss keep on him and do what I did Constantly phone him from different numbers.. he evidently doesn't know what he is doing but is quite happy to take your money..(deleted by the administrator)
Be very careful. (deleted by the administrator)is a scammer. He came to fix a washing machine. Told me he needed to order a part and will be back once the part arrives. He charged me £88 call out fee and never came back. I had to call another person to fix the machine and they told me the machine was unrepairable.
Total scammer. Paid call out fee, said it needed a part, but never returned. Total rip off. This guy is just a blatant scammer
Getting scammed by this company was the worst nightmare that happened to me early this year. I wish I had done enough research before engaging. Maybe the situation with them would have been different. I was so naïve and did not have enough information I needed to know about the whole online investing scenario. I will not wish my experience upon anyone because it was such a roller coaster one, I am just happy I was eventually able to recover my lost funds through a reliable source I am open to share with anyone who might have been a victim of this Ponzi scheme

Is DOMESTECH APPLIANCE REPAIR a trustworthy company?
Sorry to say had same experience as others. This is a scam he took call out money , said he would bring part needed next day.
Have had no contact since .He may live in Eastland Rd Yeovil but no phone or email address.
Please do not deal with this person.

Had the same experience as other, paid call out, promised parts to fix washing machine, then nothing. Not sure if I will get my money back. Scammer for sure.
Another victim of Lewis' 'call out and ghost' scam here. Sometimes tradies can't fix something and still need to make a do a call out charge and that's totally fair.
But I'd told Lewis exactly what the issue was with my fridge and he said it was not a problem. He knew he was never going to fix it before he came up for his £90 call out fee. Sad as he seemed like a decent chap and now if you Google his name this thread comes up.
Same standard of work. Said he'd fixed our washing maschene and 'Adjusted the bushes' Yeh right never even took it apart and didnt find out till I returned home having paid him.
Lewis is a scam artist, avoid, same story as the others on this page, called out to fix an appliance, said he needed to order a part, stupidly I paid him up front, now can't get hold of him.
Please read the other 1 star reviews - seems to be a trend in that you will get Lewis out to attend and tell you you need a part and he will be back in a few days. Then he asks for payment and then disappears completely. Have raised the issue with HMRC as he requests payments for his business into his personal account so it’s only fair if he’s scamming the southwest that he is made to pay tax on it!
Very disappointed to have been scammed here but hopefully this review and the others that have said the same thing help you to avoid Lewis at all costs. You will lose your money and still have a broken appliance
I wish I read these reviews before getting Lewis to look at my dishwasher. I paid £80 odd for a call-out charge and he took ages to 'get the part' after ignoring me. I waited weeks and he didn't reply to my texts. Still no dishwasher all over Christmas, and then he said he found it and was due to come out in the second week of January. I got so fed up chasing him to no avail that I bought a new one. So he got £80 call-out and didn't bother helping us at all. Don't bother with him; he's a liar and fake!
I repeat the warnings of other reviewers - avoid Lewis Bailey as a tradesman. He came to repair a fridge freezer that had a faulty exit door on the ice chute. He came on 9 December 24 and said the fault lay with a printed circuit board (PCB) which he would order that evening with next day delivery. He was paid £88. Three days later I received a message saying that, after further thought, the fault lay with the ice chute assembly which he had ordered and would arrive early the following week. I have heard nothing from him since, telephone calls and messages left for him go unanswered, same with text messages. I have started action to retrieve my money. The fault has been sorted by a reputable tradesman, since.
We contacted Lewis on 11/03/25 & had a same day text reply offering a next day appointment. 12/03/25 No fault could be found by Lewis upon initial inspection of our fridge freezer, he then made a secondary inspection & then found that the issue may lay with a faulty sensor or 2 (1 of which was frozen solid when he saw it), he advised that it’ll be better to replace both & that it’ll cost £27.99 for the parts that needed ordering on a next day delivery + the £88 for his call out, we paid & off he toddled. 2 days later we text him to inform him that we’d paid him for the parts, he confirmed receipt with thanks, we then had radio silence until the morning of the 18/03/25 when we again initiated contact with Lewis but this time for an update, surprisingly he offered a same day visit to fit the parts to which we obviously agreed to.
After said sensors were replaced & the fridge freezer was switched back on by Lewis he suggested that if we have anymore issues with our appliance just to contact him. He also said to pass on his details to anyone we know of looking for appliance repairs, this I’m now doing but not to aid him, because our freezer isn’t working, he’s radio silent again and the Mrs is pursuing through her bank and trading standards.
If I could give this guy negative stars, I would. Lewis James Bailey (Domestech) of 102 Eastland Road, Yeovil, England, BA21 4EY (according to compaines house), took my money, didn't repair my dishwasher and has since ghosted me since September. Avoid like the plague!
Avoid avoid avoid. Lewis came and fitted a new door seal, charged me £160. Fitted it wrong and came of within 10 days. Now not answering my calls and messages. Have had to buy new machine. Complete con artist!! He’s not even worth 1 star
The same has happened to me paid upfront and twice has told me he’s on his way and not turned up.Definitely would never recommend or use him again .
Lewis Bailey did similar to me
Lewis took payment of over £120 for a part which didn't not resolve the issue I was having with my cooker. Has since completely ignored multiple messages and phone calls requesting a refund. Please do not use.
Very dissatisfied and virtually impossible to get hold of. Paid for labour up front but our appliance was never fixed and now impossible to get hold of this person. Would definitely not recommend and will never use again.
