Google21 years I have been a tenant , I have really looked after the property, it is a shame L& Q have not !!!!! to get any repair done is a battle , jobs booked but your lucky if they turn up and when they do the jobs are sub standard , the odd one has been ok , I dread having to deal with them . I would advise to get everything in writing from them and keep a file, always keep photographic evidence of everything , before and after photos , every telephone conversation tape and back up in writing to them via email . Good Luck you are going to need it

GoogleThis is day 3 I have been trying to contact L&Q. Day 1: nearly 3 hrs waiting to get through then office closed. Day 2 I visited the office and was promised a call at 1pm. Call never came!! Day 3 First try got disconnected after holding for 34 minutes. Now trying again. L&Q don't care about tenants always felt like 2nd class.

TrustpilotNo heating or hot water since May 2022
I rent a flat in an old Victorian house from L&Q. I have had no heating or hot water since may 2022. I suffer with ostheoartritys, ostheophitis and fybromyalgya. This means not having heating and or hot water has beed an unacceptable ordeal to deal with. I lodged a formal complaint with them but that complaint has been passed to a second person without escalating it to a level 2 complaint. I was then told if I escalated it to level 2 my complaint would be sitting in someones desk for another 6 months and no repairs would be done.

TrustpilotScammersMade a complaint regarding…
Complained to L&Q regarding subcontractors failing to erect scaffolding, but invoicing L&Q for scaffolding. The job was to replace sewage pipes, after one collapsed, and I had raw, visible, human faeces all over my balcony and up the walls, railings and doors. It was absolutely revolting and stomach churning. The cleaning service were a joke, & didn't have one piece of protective equipment for my property or themselves. Walking raw sewage through my flat, with their dirty boots. Instead of putting sheets down, like professional workers do. Then decided to skip the scaffolding, and use a long ladder instead. This gave them no platform to correctly fit the pipes, the entire top section, around 40ft high, using a ladder. Needless to say, they bodged it again. Then had the cheek to ask my son, who was there to let them in, to lie for them, and tell L&Q that they put scaffolding up. Obviously when I heard this, I was beside myself with disbelief. I made a formal complaint, requesting the job report, as I'm fully entitled to see what's been done, as the job was extremely serious, and a p1 emergency. All subcontractors have to submit job reports to L&Q. Yet L&Q claim there is no job report. How convenient. Yet L&Q refused to carry out a proper investigation, where I can PROVE that scaffolding wasn't erected. But instead, say they are conducting an "internal" 🤥investigation, that I can't see. Nothing but lies come out of the mouths and emails of these slum landlords. Profit before lives.

TrustpilotVery upset
I have a problem getting a refund for an electrical problem that was not my fault. It was a loose wires in the wall socket that tripped my electrics, when I was using the washing machine. When I called repairs they said it was the washing machine without seeing it. So they wouldn't send an electrician! I am an elderly person and so I had to call out a qualified electrician he said it was nothing to do with the washing machine it's the actual socket on the wall that was causing the problem. I understand if it was my washing machine then its my responsibility but if its not the machine then it's L&Q responsibility. But when I sent the invoice from the electrician they are saying its the washing machine.!? What the heck can I do they are so Unfair with how they deal with this situation.

Hi Jennifer,Thank you so much for your review and for bringing your concerns to our attention.We hear your frustration Jennifer and we're sorry to hear you had a problem with the electrics inside your home. Usually when electrics trip we recommend you carry out a home appliance test which would've helped to identify if there's an issue with your appliance or the electrics. Hopefully this was explained to you as this procedure is important to also avoid misdiagnosis of the repair too. In addition Jennifer, when your own electrician attended and it was identified the fault was with the socket, it’s not advised for them to continue with the repair and ideally we would've expected you to contact us immediately and we would've arranged for our own electrician to attend to carry out the repairs for you.Unfortunately as we're unable to discuss personal details through this channel we're unable to see what advice was given to you at the time, however we would very much love to have the opportunity to look into this matter further and to speak to you in more detail about this matter. To help us make it possible, please reach out to us by emailing our dedicated team at lqdirect@lqgroup.org.uk and by ensuring 'Trustpilot is in the subject line of your email too. As soon as we have your details, it'll be an absolute pleasure to do this for you.Many ThanksCustomer Service Team

TrustpilotAfter annual gas safety inspection
After annual gas safety inspection, the engineer found the boiler to be faulty and capped the gas supply. An appointment was made with Swale. An engineer came around 18.30 hrs and said since it is dark and his sift is up, will come back next day. After several calls to company, the engine came again late in the evening and said same thing that his sift almost over, but he did check the boiler and said the boiler required a new part which he placed an order with his company. He said somebody will come next day to do repairs. Next day nobody arrived and upon inquiring with the company, they cancelled the appointment for next day. Next day the engineer came after our persistent phone call. The engineer came without any spare part and no spare part was ordered by the previous engineer and that he is now placing order. This was on Friday. He said the part should arrive on Monday and that somebody will come an fix the boiler. On Monday rang the company, only to be told the part will only arrive on Thursday and the repairs will be carried out on Friday. At the time of writing this review, I have been without hot water and heat for the past nine days and still awaiting for the repairs to be completed.

Hi Mehmud,We welcome your review and we thank you for taking the time to share your experience with our contractor.We certainly hear your disappointment and we apologise profusely if the service you've received has failed to meet your expectations on this occasion. We understand the importance of having heating and hot water, especially as the colder months are drawing in.As you may already be aware, sometimes it's unfortunate our contractors are unable to fulfil a repair during their first visit. One of the main reasons for this to happen is materials or parts are needed that are not readily available or supplies kept on their vans. We understand this is the cause in your situation which we apologise for, however the part was ordered immediately and was expected to arrive from the suppliers within 5 working days. Swale have since confirmed to us they have the part and arrangements have already been made with yourself for an engineer to return to fit the required part.We trust this matter is resolved and your boiler is due to be reinstalled very soon. If, however you have further concerns relating to this matter, feel free to contact us and we'll be more than happy to assist you further.

TrustpilotI would subscribe to all these tenants…
I would subscribe to all these tenants complaining about L&Q.In the last 9 years I spent my energy trying to be heard and to have my issues with the property fixed.Due to my persistence ,some of them were fixed,it costs my time, money ,loss of jobs and income, my health,and well-being.With L&Q is like a lottery game, it depends who's the employee answering your call or dealing with your case. If you're fortunate you might meet a semi-skilled person,otherwise pray to meet one. My personal view is that the main problem with L& Q is the staff and business strategy. They don't master those sectors.The company wants too expand at all costs crushing her tenants and assets. Leaving the properties in state of decay for years would incur more costs later,costs that will affect us,the tenants and the company budget. Keeping the unproductive staff indefinitely will do no good either,because complaints will escalate and tenants dissatisfaction will grow proportionally. If they wants to expands the new homes great,just do not omit and destroy your great asset PEOPLE! There may be new tenants attracted through the social cleanse but for how long?L&Q have to be able to provide high quality services,so are they? The staff is very good to make things happens on the papers just to look skilled,but it lacks practicability. Whoever trains these staff misses the main point, their experience and work must be adjusted accordingly with the new demands. They live and work in the past ,yes this approach was good 10-15 years ago when autocratic companies thrived,we're now in another era, and people voices screams to be heard. The power of people is immense and it cannot be ignored forever.
