Homeshield Coating Ltd

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.

We approached Hywel and his team for external wall insulation and despite being a 2 hour drive away, Hywel quickly responded with a site visit, report and quote. Once work started we were kept fully informed of time lines and the team he sent were polite, friendly professionals who were respectful of ourselves and property and left the property immaculate even through the ongoing works. We now have a beautifully presented bungalow and can already feel the difference with the insulation which will definitely reduce energy costs and allow us to be much greener. Hywel was a regular visitor during the works and his team were fantastic, we particularly enjoyed being entertained with Simons singing! Would not hesitate in recommending, 5 stars plus!

Bought a house on Dartmoor 2 years ago. Of course in such a location weather proofing is key, so we were pleased to hear from the estate agent that the sellers had invested in exterior coating to protect the building. We noticed cracks in the surface recently which mirrored internal blowing of the plaster and thought these might be connected in one direction or another. We are looking into various ways of future-proofing the property as part of our retirement planning so when we received a pamphlet from Home shield through the door I was interested in the exterior cladding (a section of the house is single-walled) and other services. I checked the guarantee passed to us by the vendors - the exterior coating had been supplied by Homeshield! So I thought we could cover both aspects in a single visit! The reaction of the person who answered the phone was 'cracking is not covered' and 'I can see the policy holder did not tell us about the sale of the property'. In small print on the certificate passed to me by the vendor's solicitor that I fished out today it says that to transfer the insurance the policy holder has to give at least one month's notice of transfer of the policy and I have no proof that this was done - it may indeed have got missed as the seller was suffering a degenerative illness and planning to travel to Singapore as soon as contracts were exchanged... Who would want to deal with a company that hides behind such tricks? What happened to good faith?

Due mainly to Covid and the weather the work started much later than we had expected but it turned out to be well worth it. The making-good process threw up more problems than were expected but the guys dealt with them all very cheerful and competently. The preparation was very thoroughly done. The painters soon arrived and again kept us informed at every stage and did an excellent job. Overall, I think it fair to say that the finished job exceeded our expectations.

I contacted Homeshield regarding external wall insulation and rendering and received a visit from their ‘salesman’ who was nothing like a salesman. He didn’t try to make any deals and was just very passionate about what the business does. He left me with a quote and I didn’t get any follow up calls pestering me for business. Fast forward and I now have a beautiful home that feels so much warmer and looks fantastic. The workmen were friendly and professional. The team in the office were responsive to every inquiry. I fully recommend this company.

Homeshield Coating fitted external wall insulation around the entire house. Throughout the whole job their professionalism could not have been faulted. Several of my neighbours and passers by have stopped me during and since to comment on how hard the guys worked and what a superb job they have done. They were all great guys to have around too. They swept up and cleared the area every evening despite having finished well into the evening to catch up on work delayed by the weather, even taking the time to check neighbours driveways for anything that may have blown across and sweeping that up too. I'm delighted with the finished job and would not hesitate to recommend this company and their people and can definitely recommend the product!

I am delighted with the work that has been done. Excellent team as well as very helpful customer service at every stage of the work. There has been a minor issue with the misalignment of our freesat aerial (it got moved accidentally) but the company job insurance covers the cost of realignment, so no bother. I can thoroughly recommend this company.

Our 150+years old cottage needed a bit of TLC so we called HomeShield. Along came Simon and his crew, they were on time and worked hard and professionally to complete the renovation of our home. On completion they tided up. Thank you to all of them, glad you enjoyed the tea and biscuits. Ian
