Very Mixed Feedback
Initially, communication was poor: no-one advised me works would not be starting on the Monday, so I was left waiting for confirmation. However, that was rectified once I reached out and 'led' project management myself (I'm in the construction industry so thought 'sod this'). The contractors Kevin, Darren and Matthew, were great with the exception of a minor issue I had with housekeeping which, again, I addressed with them directly. The finished works (aka the Wethertex) is fantastic and has vastly improved my home's appearance. To say I'm happy with the finish is an understatement and the brick/fascia masking is impeccably done. However, a few days post-completion, I found a piece of guttering/downpipe had fallen to my patio where it hadn't been re-attach at roof level, something I fixed myself (the screw had been removed but never replaced. This resulted in my (precarious) removal of a bedroom window to access the roof guttering given I couldn't lean a ladder against the wall until fully cured). This was unfortunate and frustrating as the pipe was never going to stay in place and had allowed rain water to drip down the wall and bay window tiles. However, I, again, resolved that oversight. Now, I'm struggling to obtain a copy of my guarantee and have concerns I need the T&Cs so I don't, inadvertently, invalidate that guarantee. Having previously given my email to a chap called 'Andy', last week sending an online form and, most recently and this week, sending an email requesting the guarantee, I've yet to receive a copy (or a response advising me a copy is on its way). I would have called 'Andy' for an update given he assured me my email submission was so he could send the guarantee to me, but, due to an extremely uncomfortable phone conversation where he was of the view we had 'a connection' (I won't embellish but it was neither good nor professional, especially given I'm a paying customer), I don't wish to speak with him again. It's truly a shame the review is mixed as the works really are extremely good and I was hoping to call the company back after my extension and new garage build in a couple of years' time, but that is now rather doubtful given I seem to have been abandoned post-payment (and I don't relish another uncomfortable call). I may need to request re-attendance in the future and in line with the guarantee and my consumer rights, but I do need that guarantee for my files.
