I am happy with the service from places for people. Always available and willing to help when you have a problem. The only thing that gets in my nerves are the un taxed cars blocking our parking spaces.

I’ve been trying for years to get cracks in the wall and damp spots sorted but all they do is take photos and that’s the last I ever hear about it, they did send a surveyor out a year or so back who recommended that it needs to be repointed, but nothing has happened yet. It’s annoying because I need to get the place decorated but no point when the paper keeps peeling off. Apart from that they are amazing.

After a week of backwards and forwards to different members of your staff names as follows Kate Keith Xavier John Adam I’d like to thank them for all their help in getting my boiler sorted as it had its own mind of coming on on its own job still not finished as of today 18th September now need electricon to come out but engineer got my heating done my problem was from arron services was they said they would be here between 9 till 5 and didn’t not even a phone call so wasted 3 days waiting in but as for your staff they were brilliant as I wrote earlier and for an 81 year old with COPD and asthma I was not amused surely the company should phone up and say they are running late sorry my rant is over hopefully thank you

Poor consultation…

Double glazing fitted to housing scheme.Despite letter apologising for lack of consultation and useful timetabling.It was a shambles. THE Coordinator was frequently unavailable. When miraculously the phone was answered, standard reply was 'I will ask my manager' then no return call.Supliers were changed, as we're spec's for the widows causing disruption to fitters etc.Not an enjoyable experience

community walk

i went to Castle Park to go on the community walk but couldnt find anyone. it was not signposted or anything and i didnt go as far as the bandstand, where apparently everyone on the walk met. missed out on what probably was a good experience. Also the landscape/gardening team either don't come enough and when they do they're over-zealous with the cutting back of bushes/shrubs.

My home, my sanctuary.

Whenever I have to ring pfp for anything they always listen, and then do their upmost to explain anything I am not sure about. If I have a repair booked in, they always turn up and staff are very respectful of my property no matter what they are doing. Clean up after themselves and go that extra mile to get the job done . If I have a problem with my account for any reason the staff are very understanding and always reassure me not to worry they will find a solution to suit all parties. I can honestly say I gave never had a bad experience with them..

Resource Issues

There seems to be a distinct lack of resources at PFP to rectify issues, for example it took 3 months and 3 visits to fix the leak in my bathroom. It is still only half finished as the floor needs replacing but at least it is not flooding the room below me now.
