TrustpilotNow I’m being ignored by L&Q & Swale Heating
Now I’m being ignored by the whole company. No response to stage 1. I’ve asked for the complaint to go to stage 2 not received any response to this either. Swale Heating trying to give me £30 compensation in love to shop vouchers, which is disgusting and unacceptable. After poor and outrageous service received. Due to fitting a dangerous boiler fixture in May 2023.

TrustpilotWater not Heating Up
We had a visit from K & T Heating on the 25/01/24 because we were having problems with the water not heating up. We're still having problems with it now.The technician who came mentioned that the way the washing machine is plumbed in is causing the issue. We therefore need a plumber to sort it out. One hopefully will be coming on the 20/02/24

TrustpilotL&Q fails to listen and act on complaints
L&Q takes ages to respond to any repair. They do not maintain properties when things go wrong. Issues with external fencing, internal lighting, flooding do not seem to be noticed. Even if you report repairs, their reply is that because it is shared ownership, the tenants are responsible for this. Unacceptable.
Miroslaw · 28 September 2024
Agent replied · 23 October 2024
Hi Miroslaw,Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.We appreciate and understand your frustration with the maintenance response time and the issues you've experienced. We try our hardest to provide a positive living experience for all our residents, so it's naturally concerning for us to hear that our repairs policy has fallen short of your expectations.As a shared owner of the property, we're responsible for the communal areas, whilst all repairs needed for your home would indeed fall within your responsibility. We believe we’ve given you the correct advice but if you feel there's been a misunderstanding, please feel free to let us know and we will be happy to provide further clarification.We also recommend taking some time to review the contents of your lease agreement, as it will provide more details about maintenance and repairs to your home.Our team is of course here to help, and you can reach out to us anytime. You can contact us via email at lqdirect@lqgroup.org.uk (with 'Trustpilot' as the email subject) where it'll be our utmost pleasure to help.Many Thanks,Customer Service Team

TrustpilotL&Q have treated me appallingly
L&Q have treated me appallingly. I have been a tenant for 28 years, in a property they have poorly maintained despite me being a vulnerable tenant, no rent arrears. I have only had one kitchen/bathroom upgrade in 28 years. I have mismatched counter worktops in kitchen, blown and crumbling plasterwork in bedroom, kitchen and landing, damp and mould. I have a 5 year old complaint, regarding these works which yas yet to be actioned despite my MP's intervention. I am routinely ignored by L&Q. A disgrace to Social housing.

Hi Simone,Thank you so much for your feedback and for bringing your worries to our attention.Repairs inside your home are important to us too, and we sincerely apologise if you feel we haven't provided you with the service and support you hope to receive from us. As you may already be aware, new kitchen and bathroom installs are carried out by our Planned Maintenance Team and programmes are decided on a yearly basis. We make the decisions following a stock condition survey previously carried out on your home, and we use the information from the survey to identify the homes that required component renewals. We would however expect existing kitchens and bathrooms to last approximately 25-30 years and, in some cases even longer depending on the results from the survey. Unfortunately Simone, our budgets are set annually therefore there's a restricted amount of component renewals we're able to fulfil during the year, however if your existing kitchen needs repairs, please report them to us and we'll be more than happy to help.We're also concerned you have problems with blown plaster and mould and damp issues. If you haven't already reported this to us, we kindly request you email the details to us so we can further investigate the cause and rectify the issues. Please address your email to lqdirect@lqgroup' and by ensuring 'Trustpilot' is used as your email subject too.Once we have all the information, it’ll be our pleasure to further investigate the issues raised and to work with you to raise any necessary repairs in your home.Many ThanksCustomer Service Team

TrustpilotOverall ok
Overall, we had pretty good experience. Apart from the fact that progression coordinator was quite unresponsive at times and would ignore some of our emails when we only had around 1-2 weeks left before moving in and the property was not secured yet because referencing process started quite late, and took longer than usual. Better communication from progression coordinator would help.

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.

TrustpilotQuick gas safety check
L&Q were great; communication (i.e.: letter informing the tenant of reason of visit and when the gas safety appointment would take place.) However the gas engineer lacked verbal communication and failed to keep the tenant informed of the result of the purpose of the visit, nor what happens next. Instead, he just said, "I'm done." Then left.
