Report any issues directly to HSE with evidence. G.R Westbuild are incompetent and careless to say the least. Leave sites unsecured, load flatbeds without following basic health and safety guidelines committing significant health and safety breaches. It is obvious a lot of reviews have been removed and word of mouth is that 'Westbuild are a nightmare'. G.R Westbuild site workers are negligent, aggressive, confrontational and abusive in my experience.

I had a very negative experience with G…

I had a very negative experience with G R Westbuild LTD while they were working on a neighbouring property.
Our building has a private car park at the back with only one exit. On multiple occasions, their vehicle was parked in a way that completely obstructed access, preventing residents from leaving. When I politely asked the driver to move the vehicle, he refused and stated that he would not move it and that “even the police can’t do anything.”
This behaviour was extremely unprofessional and confrontational. Instead of being cooperative and respectful toward neighbouring residents, the staff member was dismissive and appeared to be looking for conflict.
Blocking access to a private car park is unacceptable and shows a lack of consideration for others. Based on this experience, I would strongly advise others to think carefully before working with this company.

Reply from GR Westbuild Ltd

Thank you for your feedback.

The access to the rear of the neighbouring property is via a single, narrow lane with no turning area, and our van cannot access the car park itself. At the time, our operative was loading tools and debris before leaving site.

Our operative’s account is that he was approached in a hostile and threatening manner, including the use of foul language. This took him by surprise and understandably caused distress. He denies refusing to move the vehicle and states he was completing loading before departing.

No formal complaint was raised with the company at the time, and We only became aware of this matter following your review, after which our Operations Director carried out an internal investigation. If you wish to raise a formal complaint, we would like you to contact our office directly so we can address it through our formal complaint's procedure.

We remain committed to acting professionally on all projects and welcome constructive engagement through the appropriate channels.

Kind Regards
G.R Westbuild Ltd

We recently had the pleasure of working GR Westbuild

I recently had the pleasure of working with GR Westbuild on several project, and the experience was nothing short of outstanding. From the initial consultation to the final handover, their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to quality were evident at every stage.

The team was punctual, courteous, and incredibly skilled. They communicated clearly throughout the process, kept the site impeccably clean, and delivered the projects on time and within budget—something that’s rare in the industry!

What truly sets GR Wsetbuild apart is their dedication to customer satisfaction. They went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of the projects met our expectations, offering creative solutions and expert advice that made a real difference.

If you're looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and highly capable contractor, look no further. I wouldn’t hesitate and am still working with them, or recommend them to others.
