Matthew Geoffrey Rixon aka Matthew Douglas aka Matt Douglas

This is one of many public warnings that Fair Trading has issued about Mr Rixon, after bringing multiple court proceedings against the unlicensed tradesman.

Mr Rixon mainly offers fencing services, on occasion decking and other renovation services.  Mr Rixon is known to receive deposits from consumers for work at their homes.  On some occasions a small amount of work is done before the work is abandoned, however on most occasions no work is done and consumers are left out of pocket.

Consumers are urged to be wary of traders advertising for fencing and decking work.  Consumers should be particularly wary of traders who ask for deposits over the internet without first coming out to your home.

Anyone who has had problems in their dealings with Mr Rixon should contact NSW Fair Trading on 13 32 20 to lodge a complaint.

Fair Trading reminds consumers to be wary of tradespeople on the internet who claim to be licensed and to never hand over money without first meeting your tradesperson.  You can check if your tradesperson is licensed by visiting the Verify NSW website or contacting us on 13 32 20.
