I wanted to install some extra solar panels. InstaGroup gave me a quote which seemed to be quite reasonable. They installed 5 extra solar panels and an EV charger. The work was done on time. The cr... See more

Did the cavity insulation ok but refused to put the loft insulation in as they were not sure if the old type loft insulation had asbestos in it. This was after an engineer had originally been in the loft and said it was ok. Since been told it does not contain asbestos and had new loft insulation laid by a reliable tradesman. They were going to put down 270mm insulation which is quite difficult to purchase. I offered to buy just the insulation but they would not sell it separately so had to purchase 200mm insulation instead. All in all not very happy.

Dear Mr Sedgman,

Thank you for your feedback and we apologise that your experience with Instagroup did not meet all of your expectations.

It appears that there was some confusion as to the presence of asbestos in your existing loft insulation and this resulted in our installers being unable to lay the replacement loft insulation due to Health & Safety Legislation.

We have taken your comments on board and have asked our Production Team to review the communications between our teams to ensure that we improve the service we provide to our Customers.

Good on-site work, not as good administration support.

The surveyor turned up at the agreed time. He was polite and knew his job, even when the technology let him down. The quote was significantly cheaper than the other I got (a third company did not come). The surveyor said work would be in 2 to 3 weeks from date of deposit. I rang to book and was asked if "the 28th was ok". As this was 2 weeks in the future I assumed the lady on the phone meant the month we were in. When I rang to confirm the time of the appointment it turned out my booking was for the following month! There is a big difference between 2-3 weeks and 6 weeks. The actual work was done quickly and with a minimum of mess. The installers were late but there was a bad crash that day and traffic was very bad so it is understandable. However, I had to ring up myself to find out why they were late, InstaGroup did not inform me.

Boiler installed Late 2015

Boiler installed Late 2015, left my house in absolute ruin - the result was a full review and full settlement via the Ombudsman against Instagroup - once Gas Safety had also determined against Energycare - for a full installation was required - uncapped gas pipes, fouled stop cock - unearthed - unsheathed pipes - 'unrealistic' test results - to name a few - nevertheless Energycare decided to persue the matter via the courts with the full agreement from their puppet masters Instagroup who between them contrived a plausible witness statement failing to declare a conflict of interest. Their claim was finally dismissed February 2018. This is a particularly nasty business who endeavour to bully their clients -best avoided.

InstaGroup did not install the boiler for Mr Whiting, the installation was undertaken by a completely independent company EnergyCare.
InstaGroup's relationship was a provider of Green Deal finance for Mr Whiting which did not proceed due to the issues with the boiler installation at the time.

Instagroup - good experience and great service

Instagroup did a great job in putting insulation in my loft.
They were very professional from start to finish, from the initial inspection and quote to the final completion.

My only criticism is that despite the crew brushing and washing down the patio and area surrounding the house, there was a fair amount of residual brick dust from the cavity wall insulation on surfaces. This could have been cleaned off more thoroughly in my opinion. I was asked if I had a hose - which I don't - so they used a watering can. If the crew have their own generator, could they not have some automatic water pump to assist with cleaning up?

Dear Mrs Miller,

Firstly, please let us apologise for leaving your property to an unsatisfactory standard.

Currently our crews aren't issued with pressure cleaners due to the proximity of the electrical components on our cavity wall machinery, this is why our installers rely on customers having a hose or in some cases a watering can to clean up after the insulation has been installed.

However, we will take your comments on board and look into a more effective solution for the clean up process.

Kind regards,

InstaGroup
