WCHG sent these cow boys to my garden

WCHG sent these cow boys to my garden. After they left two well established 3½ ft lemon cypruss conifers were left snapped . I checked my ring footage and to my supprise one of the cow boys has used his hand to lean and move the main branch at a 90 degree angle, to be able to paint behind it, snapping it in the process, then they did it to my other conifer at the other side of the flower bed, these conifers are uselees now, and will no longer grow any taller.. These guys have no respect. I will be pursuing compensation via complaints, and if need be court action if WCHG doesn't resolve the issues.

Denise and ian 5 star

We recently had refurbishment works carried out by Buston and Maughan, overseen by Bell Group on behalf of Home Housing. As part of this, a new bathroom was fitted. Unfortunately, within just four weeks, we experienced three separate leaks: one from the toilet and two from the bath.

The leaks from the bath were particularly serious, as water came through the downstairs ceiling on two different occasions. Despite four separate visits from Buston and Maughan, each time we were reassured the issue had been resolved—yet the problems persisted.

During the third visit, one of their plumbers completely smashed the bath side panel and attempted to “repair” it with silicone, which was completely unacceptable. On the final visit, I insisted that Denise and Ian from the Bell Group attend to inspect the work. They were visibly appalled by the standard of workmanship and, to their credit, acted swiftly and professionally to put things right.

Although work is still ongoing, the communication and follow-up from Denise and Ian have been excellent. However, based on our experience, I would strongly advise avoiding Buston and Maughan if you want a job done properly. A quick look at their Google reviews will tell you everything you need to know.

Liars

Booked in to have all our windows replaced today (29th September) me and my husband have had to book the day off work. Also Had to prepare all the house and the outside so window fitters have easy access to the windows inside and out. Normally the company that BELL group have sourced, arrive at your property bright and early ready to start.

Well…
I waited until 8:30am no one had showed up yet so I ring HOME Group up to find out where the window fitters are, as I have had no phone call with updates at all. Only to be told there was no mention nor slot booked in for me!

BELL GROUP have screwed up yet again! They seem to like lying to you about when work will be carried out yet don’t turn up or lie saying no one was at the property to let the workers carry out the job even though we have a ring camera for the evidence that no one turned up!

Absolutely disgustingly run company. I have had no phone call or text message from them at all! I have had to chase them around!

Minimum disruption with professional standards.

We are tenants in a National Trust property. Under their 5 year maintenance scheme Bell's were contracted to repaint the property. We've had 3 excellent lads - Ian, Matthew and Jackson. They listened to our concerns regarding our dog, they have kept us informed of their progress and work plan and have clearly marked the painted areas with signs. Basically got on with the job (weather allowing) with minimum disruption to ourselves. Clearly, I can't speak for the rest of the company but if these 3 lads turn up at your door rest assured you won't have a bad experience.

Bell group are terrible do not use

Bell group are terrible, they are currently doing a kitchen refit at my property and every bit of work they have completed has had an issue. They take no pride in their work and its a mess. Looks worse than if I had done it myself and I've never fitted a kitchen. They just lazy and do not care as its social housing. They do not contact you and sometimes don't even turn up. They do not provide updates and ignore emails. I only get any kind of answers from my housing association reaching out to them but its usually lies they have told them to keep them on their good side as its them paying them. Do not use this company to do any work, they are bad at what they do and do not care about their customers or their work. I am currently at 3 weeks and its not finished and no one has turned up today or contacted me.

WARNING DO NOT USE BELL GROUP FOR ANY REASON

What was meant to be a 2 day kitchen refit is now into its 24th day with no signs of ending. U
Kitchen still has numerous holes left in walls and ceiling. Flooring was lifted when there was no need to do so and they are refusing to relay it. We have been without a cooker and washing machine for 8 days now as they haven't been back to fit them.

Day1, no one showed up
Day2, kitchen fitters arrived but did nothing as old kitchen not removed
Day 3,old kitchen removed but electrician arrived but materials he needed were not delivered so he couldn't work.
Day 4 ,electrician got Flooring lifted when there was no need for it then left holes in wall and ceiling
Day 5,kitchen units fitted but Flooring not relayed holes left in walls pipes not boxed in and kitchen appliances not fitted.
House left like building site with equipment and materials just abandoned in house.
Day6, nothing
Day7, nothing
Day8, nothing still no contact from bell group as to when work will be finished
Day 9, kitchen still like a building site and have had no cooker or washing machine operating for over a week now .

UPDATE- It is now 26 days after the kitchen refit was meant to start and still no idea when they will be finished. Still waiting on kitchen unit drawers to be completed.
Hole s in Walls have not been filled and I had to attempt to relay laminate flooring as the way they left the floor was dangerous for my children
