Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 200 reviews, reviewers had a great experience with this company. Customers genuinely appreciate the polite and professional tradespeople who arrive promptly, explain issues clearly, and complete repairs with remarkable efficiency. People frequently mention that work areas are always left spotless and tidy, ensuring a smooth and pleasant experience from start to finish. However, some people mentioned experiencing frustrating communication delays, missed appointments, and long waiting times when trying to reach customer support.

I’m a Peabody resident and…

I’m a Peabody resident and unfortunately all of Gilmartin’s tradesmen like to park all over the estate.
Gilmartin’s tradesmen seem to like to park right in front of the residents’ sheds which are in use 24/7 for storage and personal use.
Despite having asked Gilmartin’s on a regular basis their dimwit tradesmen can’t manage to park in the tradesmen’s specific car parking spaces - how difficult is it to park where you’re meant to park?
These vehicles also block the access for my partially abled and disabled residents who use walking sticks and mobility scooters to get around, the lack of consideration is appalling and insensitive to my elderly and infirm neighbours.
Peabody have created designated tradesmen’s car parking spaces for working on-site and yet Gilmartin’s will park anywhere they bloody well like.
And Gilmartin’s also leave all of their industrial waste on the estate or around the estate for the poor Peabody caretakers to remove and dispose of.
It’s nobodies job to clear up after Gilmartin’s tradesmen.
This morning I’ve just watched and recorded a Gilmartin’s tradesman in vehicle LO17 JSF dumping 4 x massive black sacks of rubbish in a domestic waste bin on my estate.
Please don’t use these cowboys.
We are are absolutely fed up of Gilmartin’s and their lack of care & consideration for Peabody residents - we cannot wait until their contract is over.

The plumber was polite

The plumber was polite, and completed the job to what made sense rather than what it said on paper. He waited to make sure the repair was functioning well. No half jobs 🙌🏽 finally someone to finish the job in full. Let's hope this is yhe new way forward.

A professional, friendly and efficient service.

Gavin French came out, this afternoon, to look at our toilet (manufactured by Geberit) which was overflowing.

He promptly assessed the problem, temporarily repaired the toilet but advised that the toilet needed a part replacing and servicing too. He informed me he would escalate the matter to Gilmartin.

Gavin was professional, friendly and efficient.

Gilmartin initially logged the report as an emergency and Gavin arrived within 3-4 hours.

I had an excellent experience from Paul the electrician from Gilmartin’s, he repaired my kitchen wall socket quickly and professionally, explaining everything clearly throughout the process. He arrived on time, was polite, tidy, and completed the work to a high standard. The repair was done efficiently, and everything is now working perfectly.

As a bonus, we had a great chat about bus driving, as he used to be a bus driver many years ago. It was lovely sharing our experiences and made the visit even more enjoyable. Thanks Paul

Our front door hadn't been closing properly for a while, even after a previous attempt to fix it, which was becoming really stressful. Gavin French was sent from housing association and resolved the issue right away. He was professional, polite, and prompt. Huge thanks to Gavin for his help!
