The person who turned up was very professional and even though he had to go to the shop to buy the replacement parts, he done it with a smile and made no fuss

Home warmth grant …
I applied for a grant for solar panels via Waltham forest council. The process was so simple and swiftly dealt with by Ali Shikheey. He was so helpful and supported me through any queries. I am so please with the service and so grateful to now have a renewable energy and money saving device installed in my home. I can’t thank him and who ever was involved in the process.

Garden Clearance
I can not thank Steve and Kobe enough for all their hard work today. They work non stop to clear the garden and were polite and respectful. They also tidied up well afterwards too. Will definitely use this service again.
No Notice of Collection Date and No Refund after Cancellation
The website said that they would tell you the night before a collection so you could put an aircon unit in your front garden but 2 days after I paid £28, without prior notice, I was sent an email saying it was a Reminder that the were collecting the item today. I did not see this email until after they had come and gone so rearranged the collection for a few days later but was told to put the item outside. However, the item disappeared overnight [on a Saturday] and phoning WF, I was told it was not them who collected and told I would get a refund and the collection cancelled. But then I was again sent a Reminder email on the day when it should have been cancelled. I was later asked if I needed the service or not [in spite of previous communications on their secure messaging] but after over 14 working days, I still have not received my refund.

The team Chris and Nathaniel were the most amazing individuals I ever met.
They were very professional and passionate about their work.
They were very smart and kind.
God bless them both.
Exterminators good managers bad
The actual face to face workers are let down by their managers who give incorrect information to customers, leaving the workers to bear the brunt of customers frustration when they do not keep to the illogical time slots set by management
