10 Built a new boundary wall
Posted 02 May
White Knight Maintenance have just removed a tree which had caused structural damage to a boundary wall, before then removing and replacing the curved wall which was an attractive feature in the garden. The builders Wayne, Byron, Mark, Ben and Jake did a fantastic job over the 2 and a half days that it took them to complete the work. Removing the shrubs and potting ready to replant on completion of the job. They were polite throughout, immaculate in their work - taking care to clear away any mess and debris each day. Would not hesitate in employing again or recommending to others - their quoVerified reviewerJob location: NE70.67 Radiators pipework and installation
Posted 04 March
I’ll never be using them again. After agreeing on work needed the company charges £45 p/h and the plumber works in slow motion taking up as much time as possible to increase the bill. After not fully completing the work on the first day working (7 hours) just on the pipe work he stated they he’ll come another day to complete it. However, soon after he left I got a surprise email from the company stating they’re unable to finish and advised to find a replacement. Although I’ve already scheduled for plastering work, that had to be delayed because of this. Also Dinted one of the pipes.Verified reviewerJob location: NE3Response from White Knight Maintenance Ltd
We would like to clarify the scope of work undertaken and address your concerns. Your initial request was for the installation of two radiators. However, upon arrival at the property, our plumber immediately contacted the office to inform us that the work was more extensive than anticipated, as it required first-fix plumbing. To ensure transparency, our office promptly contacted you to outline the revised scope of work and confirm the hourly rate before proceeding. To accommodate the project’s requirements, our plumber worked beyond regular hours to complete the first-fix pipework, allowing other tradespeople to carry out their tasks. Additionally, we scheduled a return visit at your request to further facilitate coordination with other trades while you sourced the manifold. On our second visit, the work again exceeded the initially anticipated scope. Given that it required two tradespeople, we informed you that we were unable to meet your specified deadline due to scheduling constraints. Regarding the dented pipe, as soon as the issue was brought to our attention, we promptly replaced it on the same day. We appreciate your understanding and hope this clarifies any concerns. Please let us know if you require further information.
