I had a TV aerial fitted, but they didn't fill the hole where they drilled through the brickwork.

These guys are crooks…read more Nice to begin with but once they have the job they start to mess you around, working on 2-3 jobs at the same time, turning up late afternoon on some days completing only 2 hours of work and also tried to increase the price with various hidden costs that were not mentioned in the quote !! The main guy that runs the company is also very very aggressive when challenged, difficult to deal with and I would advise to steer well well clear unless you want to thrown your hard earned cash down the drain and then pay again for remedial work.

Under no circumstances would I recommend this company to anybody other than my worst enemy. They…read morealso trade under the guise of Quality Pointing but are not specialist pointers or stonemasons as their website suggests and Master Craftsmen they most certainly are not. I live in a sandstone brick cottage and it is very important that great care is taken when re-pointing such a fragile material, the mortar mix needs to be exactly right to avoid damage from moisture build up and care needs to be taken when chipping out the old mortar. Every corner that could possibly be cut was cut. The finished job is slapdash at best; many bricks were chipped and damaged, the protective weatherproof face of many of the bricks was removed and the mortar was just slapped on to a very poor standard and not brushed off afterwards so is totally uneven throughout. My street and my neighbours cars and windows were so badly covered in dust during the work that I received a complaint from the council and my kitchen was also left completely covered in dust. I have had a second opinion from a 30 year, time-served stonemason and discovered the mortar mix to be incorrect, much of it taking 2 months plus to set and large areas are still very porous and hold moisture which is the exact opposite of what you want in the cold weather. After a recent frost I have found many pieces of brick the size of a 50p piece have crumbled off. I did get them back (eventually) to try and repair some of the damage and re-point some of the particularly bad areas but even this they bodged, doing only the rear to an acceptable standard then leaving before I had time to inspect the front. I have complained at length to the Guild of Master Craftsmen to which they belong who have written to them but they have just ignored the letter. I am now looking at having the work redone by a tradesman I can trust at further expense to myself. On top of all this it transpires I was charged more than twice what the job should have cost. If it's pointing you need - GO ELSEWHERE

So much so, I had to get the Police as they refused to leave. They are absolutely awful. I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy. They also operate under the name if Quality Pointing. Don't go anywhere near them.

What a truly disappointing experience for us…read more We hired truly to repair leaks in our conservatory roof above and below our roof vent. Despite asking them to do so, they declined to come to site and quote for the work, instead asking us to email photos of our roof to them so they could confirm it was a roof type they could repair. We duly did so. They then took a deposit from us equivalent to 25% of the total cost and sent us invoice paperwork to cover that. This meant they had agreed to a contract. There was no inspection of the problem prior to coming to site. They then came to site and duly performed the repair work, resealing the glass in and around the roof vent. This took a couple of hours. They then took full payment on the spot and then went away. We had to write to them to get a repair invoice and also a follow up repair report which we had also paid for. There was no follow up call in the days thereafter to determine if we were satisfied with the service as customers. A few days later, when it rained, amazingly the roof leaked again above the vent, although the area below the vent appeared to be fine and wasn't leaking (and hasn't since). We then contacted Truly the next working day (about 7 days after their repair) and advised them of the problem and asked them to return to re-examine the repair above the vent to determine what might be the problem, and to fix it. It appeared to us that the roof vent itself wasn't properly affixed to the panel above it thus leaving a gap and allowing a leak to continue. Not being experts we weren't sure, which is why we hired someone like Truly - to get to the bottom of the problem and resolve it. After a phone call with them and a couple of emails asking them to return to fix the leak, they refused. They claimed that the roof wasn't one they were familiar with and could repair. This surprised us greatly as we had asked them before they did the work to confirm this and upon sending them photos they duly did confirm it. Also, their website makes it quite clear that they can repair any type of conservatory roof. At this point we reminded them of their repair guarantee and asked them to honour that guarantee in good faith. Its not as if we had waited the full 12 months of the guarantee to advise of a new leak - we did it within days - and we felt we had done absolutely the right thing by making them aware of the problem. As far as we know, on the day of repair, there was no testing done to determine if the leak had been fixed so you can only really wait until it rains to find that out, which we did unfortunately. We made it known that we didn't believe the repair had been completed right and we had hired them to repair the leaks above and below the vent, and the leak above the vent still remained. Despite repeated requests to ask them to honour their warranty or provide a refund, they refused both. They have since refused contact with us and we have now had to file a formal complaint with TrustMark, who regulate such repairs in the industry. It is truly an unfortunate turn of events as this leak had been causing us problems for some time. We had sought out a repair organisation that based on their website reviews and repair guarantee, could assure us they would find the sources of the leaks and repair these and then honour those repairs. To have this still not fixed and the repair organisation simply ignore its customer without showing good faith is, well, truly disappointing indeed. We are hopeful that Truly will recognise the importance of keeping all customers happy and that through the TrustMark complaints process we shall achieve the result we believe we have paid for - a repair backed by a guarantee of service as advertised. This is all we ever wanted along with a non-leaking roof. Hopefully, we can update this review later with a more positive reflection of the good deeds of Truly as they return to effect our repair in good order with a view to making us satisfied customers ! That would be a truly good outcome for all concerned.
We have used Truly on 3 occasions to repair our conservatory for different problems over the last…read morefew years and they have always been very efficient and reasonable costs. We gave up trying to repair it and asked Truly to quote for a complete new roof with glass this time. We contacted 4 companies 1 didn't turn up 1 had a 2 min look and said if we're thinking of spending 10k he'll sit down and chat and we also received 2 competitive quotes. Because Truly had looked after us so well previously we gave them the job. Ordered mid November the work was done in some atrocious weather in December within the 2 days we had been advised. An excellent job and what difference it has made, much warmer and hardly any noise when it's raining we are very happy with the new roof and would Highly recommend Truly.

We picked the doors we liked and we were then sent through the quote the following day. We went ahead with the order and within a week or so we were updated with a provisional fitting date. This was confirmed a few weeks later, keeping us informed along the way. The day of the install went perfectly, James and his team arrived on time and started the work. All the work was completed within the day and they let everything clean and tidy. The doors are of a high quality and we no longer have the draft blowing through like we did with the old ones. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Great service throughout the whole process. Will definitely recommend them and will not use anyone else moving forward.

The alarm bells should have wrung when they gave us a couple of telephone numbers for builders and electricians neither of them were any use.They said it would take 6 weeks for the kitchen to be delivered. Kitchen came with doors missing handles missing, Upstands missing and cornice missing. No plinth seal. There were 2 doors missing from the utility cupboard still waiting for them 3 weeks later. This company does also not supply you with a detailed list of what is supplied, If anything is then missing they then blame you. If like us you are a hard working family and have a limited budget. DO NOT touch this comany with a barge pole, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED... I WOULD HAVE GIVEN THIS COMPANY A BIG FAT ZERO BUT COULD NOT.

I contacted PJM who came out the day after and completely checked the wiring, only to find it was an absolute botch job done by the builders' son. Lee and his lads found copper exposed on main tails, copper exposed on the meter, 32 AMP breaker overloaded and not wired in a ring, cables jointed without earth sleeving at various sockets, cables unsleeved in the fuse board. I could go on .... They replaced the (brand new) Fuse Board as it wasn't wired appropriately and didn't have the capacity for the size of the property. They rewired the kitchen and fitted isolator switches throughout the house as there were none on any of the appliances. They've checked and replaced light fittings and sockets that were not installed properly and rewired the external lights that were connected to internal sockets. Lee and his lads were fantastic, extremely diligent and professional, very polite and courteous. Highly, highly recommended that you use these guys, they've not just put right what the builder botched but they've restored my faith and made me feel safe and secure in my home. THANK YOU PJM !
