JRC Roofing Maintenance and Construction

We then sought a second opinion from Scotdrain who fixed the problem on their first visit in 45 minutes for £175.00 inclusive of VAT. Would not recommend to anyone to allow this company to even provide a quotation as they will use pressure selling tactics and false promises to secure work they are not capable of doing.

Revere Contracts
(1 review)
In May 2021 I made the huge mistake of taking on Iain Martin and Revere Scotland Contracts Ltd…read more(SC627808) to work on my home and in December that year I had to terminate his contract. Since then, I've found out he had already gone insolvent in June 2020 and had been expelled from the Federation of Master Builders (FMB). I would strongly recommend anyone thinking of using Iain Martin to look at a Facebook page called 'Edinburgh C0wboy Builders' and search for him and his business - it's a long list of victims. My project was to knock two rooms into one and add patio doors, along with some other internal works. My problems started when Iain Martin invoiced me for materials such as steelwork, patio doors, doors, windows, heating and electrical supplies. Nothing unusual and all within the quote, so I paid. But as the work stalled and deadlines were missed, he blamed the suppliers or Covid and found any excuse to divert attention. It all sounded so feasible. My suspicions grew, so I called some of his suppliers and found that orders had never been placed or suppliers were not doing business with Iain Martin because they hadn't been paid for earlier work. Iain and his 'Account Manager' do not have the slightest grasp of decent project management, effective (or polite) communication, client service or managing peoples money honestly I cannot emphasis enough that he should be avoided and I would recommend everyone reads the various links online. As I hear from other victims, it is clear this is not an isolated case and is a very common way he operates. Despite long negotiations and discussions over the past year, including Court Action, he has not repaid what is owed and I remain significantly out of pocket - as do many of his other victims.

Their survey was quick but detailed, and they actually discovered that some of the work we'd been told was needed wasn't necessary at all! The team carried out the repairs promptly and to a really high standard -- we're absolutely delighted with the results. Communication was excellent throughout, and the whole process was stress-free. I'd definitely recommend Insurepair to anyone needing reliable, quality home repairs.

They were extremely helpful from start to finish. At one point just before the claim was accepted, the insurers decided to go down the 'cash settlement road', which pretty much meant that they were washing their hands off me, which I was not going to stand for. Richard at Property Repair contacted the Loss Adjuster to explain my plight and shortly afterwards rang me to say all would proceed as planned. His Tradesmen all arrived in company liveried vans and wore company uniforms, they were polite and not once did I hear profanity from any of the builders, even if I did use some myself. Very Happy with Property Repair, very happy indeed! J x

1) I had arranged for rep from the company to look at a possible damp issue in the house. He did…read morenot show up at the time and day as had been arranged. I called him and he claimed he had tried to call me to say he was. I told him that when booking the time, I had told the person making the appointment I could only make it for that hour and not earlier nor later. In any case, I checked my phone but found no one had tried to call me that day. 2) Anyway, the rep arranged to come another day the following week. Just to be sure he would come this time, on that morning, I called the company to confirm he would be coming. I was told he was off sick that day. I asked why someone from the company did not inform me. If I had not called them, I would have waited again to no avail. I was told he would be back in two days time when he'd returned back to work 3) Two days later, the rep did called me but he said he could not fix a date yet to see me . He said he would have to contact his secretary and that he'd call me back in a hour's time later in the morning. I did not get a call back from him . 4) A few days later, I called the company to asked what has happened as I was waiting for a call to arrange for the rep to come. Someone did call me later to arrange a new date for the rep to come. 5) On that new date. I called the office again but this time, I was informed it was not the date in the diary but it was another day. I mentioned that I was really disappointed as I had made so many attempts to see the rep to no avail. They indicated to me if I didn't like it, they could just cancelled the appointment date in their diary as if threatening if I did not like it, I could just go away. I thought it was not a good attitude to deal with customers. Begrudgingly, I agreed to see them the following day 6) After thinking over during the night, the following morning, I called the company office to ask them to cancel the appointment visit from their rep as I thought the way they treated me was very poor . I also did not intend to spend thousands of pounds doing business with a company which had not shown themselves to me to be very reliable from my experience. 7) However, I had a call in the afternoon from the rep to say he was outside my house. I told him that I have called his office in the morning to cancel the meeting. He started shouting at me on the phone and said "You're p*ssing me off" or something to that extend. I had thought that was not at all professional. If there is a "Zero Stars" or even Negative "Four Stars" rating for my experience with this company, I would put that. Needless to say, I would never want to use the service of this company.

However, Edinburgh Spaces, as my letting agent, helped me sorting out various issues in an efficient manner. It is true that they were hard to get hold off, but what do we expect over the Christmas and New Year period. So far they were really helpful and if you come across this letting agent, then you are in good hands. They are not charging any letting fees and their offices are located near the Balmoral Hotel in Edinburgh town center. You are in good hands, but remember, its always best to also check out the owner of the premises before you move into any place, as these are the ones who have the final words when it comes to certain issues.
