Stay Away At All Costs!!

Used this organisation for full paint and render of my mid terrace cottage. Full guarantee for a works, accreditations galore! After one year, areas of render cracking literally falling of the wall. One year ago I contacted this company for full repair as per their guarantee, after viewing images was told... this has nothing to do with our work, it's down to water damage!! However as a gesture of goodwill we will repair! So began the most horrendous service I have ever encountered, delay upon delay constant excuses the weather, don't have enough staff. Although I note they were still up for taking new orders!! Behaviours of staff and so called DIrector totally appalling rude, flippant, with tangible passive aggressive attitudes throughout all communication. After numerous months of cancellations and personal stress they now inform me it will be a further 6 MONTH wait. Once again speaking with staff member, was met with an arrogance, the excuse now as we are doing this as a gesture the inference being be prepared to wait until it's convenient for us to act. Worse company I have ever dealt with, beyond shameful, it goes to show accreditations mean absolutely nothing!

Dear customer, Thank you for your comments, we do take all feedback, both positive and negative very seriously. When the initial bubbling of the paint (not render) was notified to us, we did carry out detailed analysis of the photographs we received. It was clear that the two small areas of bubbling had been caused by moisture ingress from above i.e. from roof verges or coping stones, areas of your property upon which we did not work and which are not covered by our guarantee. As a company that has been trading for some time and as you mention has worked hard to gain and keep a number of leading industry accreditations, we have nonetheless offered to come back, as a gesture of goodwill, to carry out repairs to these two small areas. We are sorry that you feel that the lengthy delays in getting to you are “excuses”, it is however the case that (reference to the Met Office will confirm) the UK has just suffered it’s wettest 15 months in over 150 years, indeed the weather has been unprecedented, with barely a 72-hour period of dry weather over most of the UK. We simply cannot and will not carry out work on walls that are damp when we start, during works or immediately after rainfall. The weather, plus a huge shortage of skilled labour in the UK construction industry, has unfortunately meant that Homeshield are many, many months behind with all its work (as I am sure you will find with any construction company working outside in the UK). In an attempt to try and reduce this backlog (and despite your belief that the company was “still up for taking new orders”), we have not advertised for new work since November 2023 and will not do so until our existing workload is more manageable. Whilst we fully appreciate that this matter has caused you some aggravation, we believe we have been transparent, factual and polite at all times.
Absolutely Awful Coating!

The coating was applied in March 2021. We emailed in May 2022 regarding the coating flaking off, we then chased this up again and on 17th November we were informed that Paul would come out to view the areas. This was then chased on 2nd December as we hadn't heard anything. Paul eventually came out on 20th December 2022 and Homeshield were due to contact us in early Spring 2023 to rectify the areas of breakdown. This was chased in March 2023 and after a lot of further emails, the team finally attended in April 2023, nearly a year after the fault was reported. Today we have found more areas of the coating breaking down, and it just isn't up to the standard that was portrayed. The coating, which cost in the region of £25,000 - is awful and the workmanship was below par. We are still waiting to hear as to when they will come back. I hope they actually honour their 15-year warranty!

Fantastic job from everyone involved from start to finish. Great planning by Hywel, we were kept well informed throughout, and any questions we had were answered swiftly. The tradesmen were great and did a really lovely job, they worked really hard, and always left the site tidy at the end of the day. The house looks amazing, and we had received many compliments on it. We are thrilled with the service we received from Homeshield and would have no hesitation in recommending them to others and using them ourselves again in the future.

"It looks like a new house"

After struggling for months/years to even get someone to quote to replace our soffits & fascias, fit external wall insulation and re-render our house (I think most were scared off by the scale and complexity of the task) we came across Homeshield. The salesman measured up and provided us with a firm quote on the day, which we accepted. We were given an approximate earliest start date, and then a firmer date a couple of months before starting. On the start date, Blaize scaffolders arrived and did a first class job of making everywhere accessible - no mean feat when none of it can touch the walls! A couple of days later carpenter Stuart arrived to replace all our soffits and fascias. He always took care to discuss the options with us to get the best finish, and the end result looks fantastic. There was then a gap of a few weeks due to an injury to Simon the insulation and render expert, but we were kept informed of the delay, so this was not an issue. Once again, the craftsmanship on display was superb, with everything done to get the best possible result, and no corners cut. Simon, Mark and Ethan were always friendly and happy to chat about the process, immaculately tidy, with an almost obsessive attention to detail, which shows in the end result. The scaffolding came down this morning, and our neighbours and passers-by have all commented that it looks like a new house, and that we must be so pleased with it. Well, yes, it does, and I am!

Our 1930's semi-detached property has a pebble-dash finish to the first floor. Recently the gable end had been showing signs of damp so we decided to have the pebble-dash treated and coated with a white finish to freshen up the property. Homeshield Coatings gave us a very competitive quote and the first gentleman who visited explained everything fully. The surveyor was very helpful too as we wanted to make sure certain areas were repaired before coating. The office were also very helpful by arranging for the scaffolding to be put up a week before to allow us to have a new boiler fitted in the loft. The two guys that came to do the work were really nice people, they talked through the job with us, going over the areas that would need repair before coating and putting my mind at rest about some of the concerns I had. They worked extremely efficiently and were very respectful towards us, our property and also the neighbours' properties. They kept us informed at each stage about what they were doing and cleaned up at the end of the job. The job took about two and a half days and the price we paid was the price we were quoted. We are really pleased with the finished job and would recommend Homeshield Coatings....particularly if you have pebble-dash that needs repair and paint. I can't praise them highly enough.....well done guys!

From the first enquiry to the final completion of the work we have been very impressed with the service we have had and are delighted with quality of workmanship. HSC have insulated our pebble dashed single blocked house with 100mm of insulation then finished it with a coloured permanent finish. We were kept informed of progress and who would be working on our house at all times and the workmen were polite and worked solidly through the day and on one occasion did an 11 hour shift and even cleaned up afterwards! The price included all extras as quoted with no nasty surprises. The insulation has made a great difference to our house both for making it significantly warmer but also in the increase in its value. We chose a firm from Wales although living in Cornwall because we needed to be sure of the standard of fitting as we didn't want a house with insulation falling off in twenty years time and we haven't been disappointed with any element of the workmanship from HSC.

Thank you for your review and indeed for your business. As you correctly assert installing External Wall Insulation (EWI) on any home, especially one as prominent as yours, needs careful attention to detail and thorough planning, we are delighted that you found Homeshield a great company to work with. Enjoy your warmer home!
EXTERNAL INSULATION

I used this company to install External Wall Insulation to my home, Hywel came out to see the house and take details what they will need material wise scaffolding etc. and have chat with us what is involved and what he requires us to do beforehand . The Scaffolders from Blaize Scaffolding came who were polite and promptly to put the scaffold up around the house. The next stage was for a Gas Safe Engineer, who was called Jason to come to extend the original outdoor pipework sufficiently to allow for the insulation boards to be inserted and also the boiler flue. This was done with politeness and effeciency. Next stage was for the insulation boards to put screwed onto the house. 2 workmen came to do this stage and again were polite and did the job efficiently. The final stage was for new downpipes and rendering to be done to the house. This is the stage that really makes the house look new. Simon and Tom did this stage and started early and stayed till late and also were very approachable to any queries that we had. Once the new downpipes and rendering were completed the house did look new and we are well pleased with the look. Hywel came out to sign the work off and answer and questions we may still had. The necessary 25 year gurantee for the work and other relevent paperwork were given. We have been thoroughly pleased with the service we have received from Homeshield and would thoroughly recommend them to anyone looking to insulate their home.

HSC Homeshield removed defective render from the gable end of my 3 storey semi-detached house, filled in cracks, applied primer then pressure sprayed textured wall coating. They co-ordinated the erection and removal of the scaffolding. Their staff were friendly, helpful, polite and excellent at communications. The work was undertaken quickly and efficiently and I am delighted with the excellent quality of the work. The site was left clean and tidy.

We were advised to repair our pebble-dashed house as it was no longer watertight. After doing some research we came to Homeshield Coating Ltd. We were impressed at their customer reviews, their Which Trusted Trader status and the 15-year guarantee. We were consistently impressed from start to finish with the company. Paul and his team were by far the best people we've had to work on our house. They showed up on time, worked very hard and were friendly and enthusiastic about their product and process-and doing perfect work. They went above and beyond what was required and as for cleaning up after themselves I can honestly say that they left the place cleaner than it was before! We love how our home looks now. We're so pleased with the colour and the work they did fixing around the bays and windows. We've had many positive comments from passersby and neighbours and we're delighted with the end result.

I originally called HSC Homeshield because I had seen a flyer from them. I thought that I had damp coming through a wall. They came to inspect the property and gave me an initial quote for damp proofing. When the surveyor came to check the job he told me that I did not need damp proofing but that the damp patch could easily be resolved and at a fraction of the price. An honest trader at last! The team came and redid the wall, finding an old light switch with copper wiring which had been giving off condensation. I also asked them to do two other jobs which involved replacing old window bricks which had crumbled and provide a lip above the conservatory to redirect the rainfall into the drainage channel. I was really happy with their work, their attention to detail, timekeeping and cleanliness. I would happily recommend the company.
