Nothing we could do Better

10/10/2011

Dear All

Just to let you know that everything was completed on this claim on Thursday of last week (2 weeks to the day after we were appointed)

I have spoken to SC (the policyholder) this morning and she is very pleased with the speed and efficiency of the claim and the helpfulness of the contractor (Topmarx).  In particular she said she appreciated the fact that the contractor turned up promptly.  She said there was nothing she could suggest we do differently to make the experience better from their point of view

A good result

Dear Mr Leaver

We are writing to express our thanks to your company for all the work you have undertaken on our property to restore it to its original condition following our insurance claim for subsidence; we are highly delighted with the results and quality of the workmanship.

Dave Vallance and his outstanding team of tradesmen worked extremely hard to acheive what they did and at the same time take great care to protect the new fittings which had earlier been installed – this was very much appreciated.  At one time we had as many as five Topmax vans in our drive;  even under pressure your workforce remainied polite and good humoured.

Please convey our thanks to all concerned – administration team included.

Yours sincerely

Amply Fulfilled Promises and Aspirations

05/08/2011

Dear Sir or Madam

Water Damage Claim

Some several months ago, I discovered a water leak in my mother’s house.  Water had been dripping from a concealed pipe supplying the washing machine.  The leak had remained undetected for a long time, damaging most of the kitchen units, the flooring and carpet in the kitchen and staining the wall in an adjacent room.

Her insurance company processed a claim, and passed on to your company the task of making good the damage.

My mother is 87 years old, and quite frail.  Like many elderlky people, she dislikes disruption and viewed the forthcoming works in her house with considerable trepidation.  My brother and I were concerned that the experience of having a number of workmen in her house over a period of several days would be very trying for her.

We need not have worried.  We would like you to be aware that all your staff showed her the utmost care and consideration.  They were unfailingly friendly and courteous.  They treated her house and contents with care, and took pains to keep disruption and inconvenience to a minimum.  They were punctual and hard-working and, when problems arose, only too willing to be flexible in achieving satisfactory solutions.  The quality of their work was first class and we are all very pleased with the final results.

We would be grateful if you would pass on our thanks to the members of your staff who were involved in this work.  They amply fulfilled the promises and aspirations set out in your company’s contract to clients and are assets to your operation.

Yours faithfully

Outstanding Workmanship – an ambassador for your company

17/06/2011

Dear Michelle Cherry

Thankyou for your help while handling my claim.  It was a pleasure to have an understanding and friendly voice during a trying time.

I enclose the Completion Form duly signed.

I find the staff assessment form does not cover my requirements owing to the following reasons.  We were served by four tradesmen but didn’t know their names.  There is no provision to differentiate between them for qualities.

I would therefore like to offer these observations.   All of the tradesmen could not be faulted for their Relationship with us for Self Presentation, Enthusiasm and Motivation, Reliability and Punctuality/Time Keeping and I do not hesitate to offer these attributes an outstanding remark.

Regarding the quality of the work the Artex surface was good but the finishing left later remedial work required around the periphery.  The second Electrician in replacing Light Fittings ignored my advice that threaded inserts were already in place and these holes left showing also required remedial work.

The Overall impression of your tradesmen was (very) Good.

Finally I wish to acknowledge the Outstanding workmanship by your Decorator Tony and his willingness to complete the remedial work that occurred on this job.  He is truly an ambassador for your company.

Yours truly

Prepared to go the extra mile…

18/05/2011

During the restoration of our cottage I have been regularly visiting the site and have been very pleased by the progress which has been made.  I am very impressed by the workmen who have done all they can to include me in discussions so that the finished product is as I want it to be.  They are always very friendly and have been outstanding in making me feel part of the decision process although I live so far away.

I was particularly impressed – and astounded- last Sunday when I went to the cottage in the evening to find Nick Goodall there checking progress.  This visit demonstrates how he has been prepared to go the extra mile to make sure the work is completed to the highest specification.  He is always so cheerful and welcoming and manages to find solutions where there seem to be difficulties.

I know there have been problems with completion dates; it seems to me that Topmarx have done all they can to complete on time.  For my own part I was ready to go for planning last July and held up by planning problems in no 10 and later the bad weather.

I hope you will convey my thanks to everyone involved in the rebuilding.  We will be very grateful to you all when we can start to enjoy being there again.

With best wishes

Excellent Final External Re-pointing

14/05/2011

We are writing to thank you for carrying out subsidence repair work to our home last monthand, since you invite it, we would like to make the following comments.

1.  An error made in not ordering the necessary scaffolding and then fitting the wrong length helibars caused the external work schedule to be thrown off course and we experienced some frustrations at that time in trying to establish with the office when the outside repairs would be carried out.

2.  However, the internal repair work went  much more smoothly and we were pleased with the quality of the plasterwork.  In particular we would liketo mention Dave, who did a very nice job redecorating the hall, landing and stairs.

3.  Also, we would like to particularly mention the excellent final external re-pointing and repair work carried out by Shep: he matched it in so well that it is now very difficult to see the difference from the original.

4.  Everyone who came to work on our property was careful, took pains to reduce the mess and cleared up reasonably well afterwards.  We feel that the work overall has been done very well

Yours faithfully
