Repairs ignored

Phoned repair needed door handles replaced Wates called gave reference number and 30 June for works to be carried out no one from Wates appeared Their excuse no longer dealing with sub contractor and need to go through the process again it made no sense Rogue workers The Tenants receive no duty of care from Peabody or representation no one prepared to listen to the repair failures N5 1NE Catherine Carroll

Absolute joke of a company

Absolute joke of a company The actual engineers are great but the higher ups don t know what s happening Ripped out my kitchen on the Monday then didn t come back until the following week only to break my heating They re obviously taking too much on with false promises AVOID

They deserve no stars

Been in the construction industry for awhile myself so know abit the sort of low level work and the attitude of wates workers is atrocious To think I applied for a job with wates and they had the nerve to turn me down They actually did me a favour This company is bottom class

Absolute joke of a company

Absolute joke of a company Our LHA used them to refit our kitchen and I wished they d never Measurements were all wrong resulting in odd cupboards fitted 3 leaks from shoddy plumbing bad paint work they even painted over the plastic trims of EVERYTHING rather than cut in and snagging left unfinished Damage to dishwasher Several appointments made to attend but no one arrived They used Select Installations to undertake the works but no one seemed to take charge when there was an issue And don t even bother calling I d say AVOID but like us you probably won t have a choice
