The worst experience you could ever imagine!
I’m not even sure where to start.
In December 2024 we had a new PVC door fitted. The same day I put a complaint in as the fitter stank of alcohol and they didn’t finish the job before leaving.
Little did we know how bad it was about to get…
We have now had BCG out to our home over 20 times. We have had to break in to our own home by kicking a door down (once on Christmas Day) and have been locked out or in on more times than I can actually count now.
To be fair to them, they have always come out promptly, and have tried to resolve the issue.
Over a year later and we have had the slab replaced and then the barrel replaced…but we are still being locked in or out on a daily basis.
Because this started to happen immediately after the door was fitted, we got £500 off the bill. Of which we did not pay until the issue seemed to be resolved. But then a few months later, when the weather turned cold again, the problems started again.
I have been locked outside my house in the cold with a newborn baby on several occasions. And I have missed appointments because we have been unable to get out.
On Christmas Eve we had to turn people away from our home because we had no way of letting them in.
On Christmas Day we had guests LOCKED in our home.
That was just two instances over Christmas alone.
I have sent multiple videos over the Christmas period, but this has been the most stressful and not to mention dangerous experience.
My husband’s mother was killed in a house fire 6 years ago. I cannot express how scary a situation like being locked in your own home in that scenario is, particularly for our family. Imagine there was a fire and we couldn’t get out.
I run a business from home where customers are required to collect on a daily basis. On Friday we couldn’t open the door to a queue of people. It’s utterly embarrassing.
Jordan in the office is always helpful, but it’s not his call what happens next, and he just tells me it has been passed to directors. Their last communication to me was last Monday 6th Jan.
I have never ever experienced anything like this, but we are now at the point of requiring more than a full refund. We will be demanding compensation for the complete stress and upset this has been causing us for over a year now, and still no resolution.
I feel my next step will be to take this to Trading Standards, as they don’t seem to understand or care about the severity of this. Especially considering we no longer have a second entrance to use in emergencies (which are currently almost daily)
