Totally work shy! 3 times they've meant to come out to sort my water pressure, 1st time I never got any appointment, 2nd time they claimed they couldn't get into the property and said they put a card through the door which they didn't and the 3rd time they called me on a withheld number which I missed but was in the house, they claimed there was no access again. Never bothered buzzing me or even trying me again on the phone yet they cancelled, never encountered a mob of workers so scared of doing work.

I have no choice but to use this company!!!
All companies should be aware that when you enter an individuals home ( their safe space)that there should be measures taken ( one arriving at the home unless 2 is needed) Do some reserch to see who is living in the home as you may need to be respectful of children sleeping/ individual with disability or any other reasons that timings need to be negotiated.

Critical: Punctuality, Quality, Value
Unfortunately I have no choice in regards to common repairs in my property as I have MyPlace as factors and they use this company. Absolutely shocking service, waste of time and money. I have reported a problem with my roof and after nearly a month this has not been repaired, causing damage and stress. Avoid at all costs.

Absolute cowboys. Have to use them through our factor so we organise repairs ourselves now. They cost a fortune, basically just a racket between these guys, Wheatley group and the council. They made such a mess of our roof they were supposed to be repairing and then quoted £40k to fix the mess they made. Pretty sure one of them nicked our lead and copper.

Worst repair company ever. Phoned them up in the morning to get someone out because the bottom stair toilet wasn't flushing and the handle came loose on the upstairs toilet. Sat in all day and the they done a no show which i wasn't happy with as i wasted a day because of them. They finally came out the next day and sorted both of the toilets but three days down the line the bottom stair toilet started leaking so phoned them up again but the phone kept ringing out as no one was answering it. This mob is a complete joke as they are known for doing no shows, always doing a half arsed job of repairs

Not even worth one star. These guys "improved" my bathroom on behalf of Cube Housing and I can honestly say they are the worst tradespeople ever.
After they installed my new bathroom suite they not only left the toilet leaking (emergency plumber had to be called) but left a very attractive hole going though into my hallway (pic attached).
On "completion" they have-
1.Not grouted in the corner tiles.
2. Not sealed the bath.
3.Left a cable dangling from the ceiling- which was then painted!
4.cut several tiles too small but put them up anyway.
5. Skimmed the radiator and tiles while painting

This company have no respect for your home. They are unprofessional & will lie,mislead & twist the case if any damage has been done by one of their team. I strongly recommend you find another company of repute for your needs. If they are contracted to do work in your home, if you're a Social Landlord tenant & you have to let these people into your home, beware & make sure you have a witness present at the time & make them fully aware that you are watching them like a hawk. Video them, if need be. It's important that the public are aware that their workers are "Two Gun Tex & Tam the Vandal". Absolute
