“Peveril Homes has been a wonderful company to work for during the last 20 years as a Sales Executive. I have been fortunate enough to sell homes to the most fantastic customers at many different sites over the last two decades before retiring. The sales team have been a pleasure to work alongside and find them all so knowledgeable and passionate about their jobs. The Sales Director and Sales Manager (and all of the staff at Head Office) are so hardworking, experienced and determined to help each and every customer to find their dream home. It has been a wonderful twenty years with an outstanding company.”
“We are a property investment company with holdings in both commercial and residential properties. Over the last five years we have purchased seven Peveril homes, on two developments at Fritchley and South Wingfield, Derbyshire. Having been initially very satisfied we have unfortunately experienced a catalogue of problems with the plumbing installations in these houses. At Fritchley these included badly fitted and leaking shower doors; the rainwater goods on every house (5 Nr) had a variety of defects, some of which became apparent after the two year warranty period and we have had to rectify at our own expense. One bath was poorly installed, it sank down leaving a gap between the top of the bath and the tiling- this had to be re-fitted.
Defective lead flashings on the chimney stacks of one of the houses, causing rainwater ingress to the loft space, resulted in both chimney stacks having to be fully scaffolded, the stacks demolished and new corrected leadwork fitted and the stacks rebuilt. This problem was replicated on other houses on the estate not in our ownership. On two houses leaks on waste pipework in the ceiling void caused staining on the ground floor plaster ceilings. We had to remedy these difficult repairs at our own expense as these were outside the warranty period.
By far the worst problem encountered has been at South Wingfield where again pipework under pressure in the ceiling void ruptured and caused a catastrophic flood in a house that had only been occupied for two weeks. Also the boiler programmer did not work properly.
Sadly we have lost confidence in the plumbing systems in these houses , in particular the fast-fit plastic pipework used and the standard of workmanship employed fitting it. Better more robust plastic systems are available.
We have therefore regrettably taken the decision as a company not to purchase any further houses from
Peveril.”
“Well, were to start. For the last miserable 10 months of living at one of the bomb sites we’ve experienced nothing but rude, inconsiderate, dirty, unprofessional, annoying, lying and arrogant ‘workers’, fobbed off time and time again because there ‘up against it’. They was completely unbothered about our gas leak, leaking doors, bannister pulling away from the wall, leaking windows and the fact they turn up from 5am/7am and make as much noise as physically possible. The whole estate is constantly like building site, so dirty that the drains don’t even drain, we have rang up and complained, emailed and complained, asked the workers them self for help and just basically been laughed at and made to feel very small. The kurb outside our house is completely broke away, the pavement has got big dips in it with massive raised grates that me and visitors have tripped over on multiple occasions, There’s always work vans parked everywere and making it difficult for us to gain entry or exit from our property. Staff throwing there dinner and cigarettes in our hedge, they make as much noise as they possibly can between 5am-10am and then they just walk around shouting at each other. It’s a joke, complete joke! I’de save your self all the hassle, headache and disappointment and go live in a caravan. Absolutely shamefully appalling.”
“After numerous emails and being fobbed off for the last 18 months the development has still not been finished. Un-Tarmaced roads and paths and a poor attempt to disguise all their rubbish and massive mound of earth that they say will just stay there for years until they get the 3rd phase approved.
Disgusted abd complaint you Peveril and council inbound”
