Had work on outside insulation of house in nov , realised the workers had not finished above windows correctly, so not able to open windows more than couple inches , have been reporting it since jan and am getting told all sorts of stories by so different staff , surely they know the importance of being able to open windows in case of fire upstairs but it does not seem to interest the company , really bad customer experience

This was a great move for us personally with such an old house. We had Mark Geeson come a survey our house for external wall installation. Lovely chap, very informal of every step of instalment. We had a few issues with our lovely neighbour about our boundaries, an thrift energy professionally helped me with this so the work could carry on. Just want to say a huge thank you to Alin Bogdan and his team. They were great lads, professional, very hard working. Alin made sure he had the time to keep me in the know about every stage of process. Was a great and interesting experience. Our house has never looked so new! Would highly recommend their work!

They have lied and deceived us throughout our dealings with them. Work which was initially meant to be completed within a few days needed to be re-done and took months to sort out. Numerous staff have blatantly lied to us throughout this process. Aditional work which we qualified for under Green homes grants is now left incomplete due to this companies negligence! Untrustworthy Fraudsters. More...

I was driving through Exning on 18/02/2019 between 12:30pm to 1:00pm, and I was being tailgated by one of your drivers, who then tried to overtake me on the road coming out of Exning to Burwell, whilst still in the 30mph zone. Last 3 letters on number plate were LXU.Shame there wasn’t a speed camera there! More...

We have asked you nicely before to sort out the situation of how your employees park on this particular spot in Wicken. It is dangerous and not a parking bay. With your van parked where it is, you cannot pull out of this junction safely and this is an accident waitning to happen. We have told you before that if this happens again we will have to start naming and shaming. More...

Fail to keep appointments, multiple times. Complete waste of time. Government scheme but they get paid once they have your signature and then have no interest in keeping appointments, for either the survey of to actually do the work. Waste of taxpayers money. Waste of holiday allowance booking time of work to deal with these cowboys. Avoid or don't sign the paperwork to early. More...
