Kingspan  Opiniões 

I pay a monthly fee to a Kingspan Bronze Service plan. I recently moved out of my property and asked for a refund as I didn't use my yearly service. It was rejected because their T&Cs indicates that I could only cancel it within the first 7 days. Moreover they even asked for the remaining payments to close the contract. This is clearly an unfair treatment as they are charging me for a non existing service. What do we call people who take other people's money without delivering what they are supposed to deliver?

Kerry in the Customer Service Team is a credit to the organisation. Professional, quick responses provided. Every contact has been made so much easier with her efficient approach to managing customer queries/concerns.

We pay a monthly sizeable fee to Kingspan for the maintenance of a sump pump. They carried out the annual service last year and from that date, the pump has failed constantly. They eventually replaced the pump, at our expense, and now say it is the wrong pump for the control board. Each and every time I phone, and it has been daily, I am promised that someone will call me back. They never do. I am appalled at how poor their customer service is.

My 12 year old unvented cylinder started leaking from the Emerson seal. I contacted Kingspan who could not have been more helpful. Once I had submitted the annual service schedule they arranged for an engineer to call within 2 days. They agreed to replace the faulty cylinder and a week later it was done . Amazing service at all stages.

1 star is more than this company deserve. We have been with Kingspan since 2018 on their 'Gold Package' and have never had any issues until now - that we actually need to use them. We had our yearly engineer visit who informed us our biodisc tank (thats gravity fed) was flooded and that we needed to pay 'another company' to empty this (or use their sub-contractor which was nearly triple the price) for the engineer to be able to look inside and locate the issue. We grudgingly did as asked as we needed this fixed. The 'other company' stated upon emptying the unit was smoking but when we informed Kingspan of the urgency, they assured me it would be ok and that an engineer couldn't come out again until 11 days time. Well that 11 days came and an engineer came out - for us to be told the unit was FLOODED AGAIN and that we had to pay the 'other company' to come and get it emptied AGAIN at OUR expense. Kingspan stated the 'other company' should have used CCTV to locate the blockage - which surprised us as we were never advised of this and only told to empty the tank before the engineer came back. Kingspan simply refuse to refund us for the costs of getting the tank emptied TWICE (despite the fact they never gave us the full information or advice) stating they only cover maintenance and parts for inside the unit. Clearly something isn't working inside the tank properly but they can't help until we get the unit emptied. The engineer has had a very easy job of doing nothing and Kingspan passing all responsibility to the 'other company' who we do not pay a monthly contract too and simply were there to empty the tank as requested!! Kingspan keep stating a blockage has caused this but there are no signs of blockages inside the house (no slow draining etc) and Kingspan apparently don't cover for blockages but as they have not managed to check this it is all guess work - we are very strict with what goes down the toilets and drains due to this biodisc system! This has been a costly experience and we still do not have the unit fixed until they come out next week. Very disappointing service. When queried about cancelling I was also informed that I would have the pay to get out of the contract which just renewed in September. All in all an overly TERRIBLE experience and so much time wasted. Very disappointed.
**Before Kingspan reply with asking me to phone their customer service - I have had enough time wasted with customer service - they all follow the same script that it's not their responsibility.

I have lost central heating; Kingspan were informed about the job on 09/11/2021 tuesday; to this day they have not contacted me. When I chased on this I was first directed to Warranty; then when I insisted I needed it sorted I was told the job had only been raised today 15/11/2021 with the service department. I am still waiting for an engineer to contact me. This is utterly appalling poor (non existent) service . No heating in winter and no contact with customer for a week to work towards resolving this emergency. And I am still waiting to be contacted and have the heating issue resolved!!!!

I had the sewage system on my house serviced by Kingspan last month, as part of the "Gold" contract I have with them.
1. They direct debited me twice for this (but did correct when I raised the issue)
2. The pump on the tank stopped working immediately after the service
3. The first I knew of the pump problem was when sewage backed up into the house toilets and sinks over a weekend shortly afterwards
4. We had no prior warning of the pump failure because the alarm system wasn't working either
5. I left a message requesting urgent help on the voicemail over the weekend. They never responded to this...not simply not over the weekend, not ever.
6. So after 48 hours of emptying all waste water into a hedge, I called another local contractor on the Monday to sort our emergency, who did so within a couple of hours.
7. I then asked Kingspan to be compensated for their non-delivery of the service that they claim to provide under the "Gold" contract. I supported this with photographic evidence and a report from the company that sorted it showing that the reason the pump hadn't worked was because the activating float had been left wedged against the side of the tank. And the alarm hadn't worked because its float was folded over on itself. I also gave them details of the date, time and duration of the phone call I had made to report the problem.
Their response is to deny responsibility for any of this, and say it was my own choice to bring in a third party contractor, and in effect that they would eventually have fixed it if I had persevered with trying to contact them. So no, they are not going to provide any compensation....or even apologise for quite such a comprehensive failure to deliver.
Kingspan feels like a company that is overstretched by its rapid growth, with a customer service culture akin to Ryanair

Absolute rubbish! Cant get through and if i do get hung up on!!! Planning on spending a small fortune take my business elsewhere.. not that they care, wont bother them. just dont like dealing with incompetant companies who cant even organise technical support.

Dishonest website offer of technical advice.

Switchboard transfers calls to unanswered numbers.
after some minutes a callback offer is made, which I accepted, No call back received,
Tried e mail enquiry form offered on website, five days later receive reply stating that no advice is offered for any project less an 3 new build houses.

Website falsely offers technical advice for retro fit homeowners.

I called the telephone number given in Kingspan's response. An automated message states that it is a mailbox, and that the mailbox is full.

I emailed my enquiry to the address offered, and received a relevant response 34 minutes later.
This was good, it would have been good to get it on the first occasion.

However, we got a Bio-Tank installed 18 yrs. ago and were told groundwater was getting into the tank and causing it to failed cameras were put up the waste piles they were fine So I done an investigation myself and closed off all the gutting and used water buffs to collect the rainwater this year and that has solved one of the issues. Also waste had been getting into the water compartment which over the years has been ignored by Kingspan even though the tank had been emptied a few week earlier I was told by their engineer not possible it takes six months for that to happen. Moreover, I received an e-mail today dated: 27-11-2020 saying it is the fault of the reed beds which are working fine. Furthermore, common sense dictates this is a training issue and as a layperson, I should not have to tell them their job they are supposed to be professionals. All I ever wanted was the issue fixed and to receive what I have already paid for that what they call! Doing business

Update they came out today I paid to get the
bio- tank fully emptied and washed their subcontractor messed the Kingspan engineer who had to wait for 3hrs. However, they sent the wrong size of tanker out that block the lane and did not get what I expected the bio- tank full wash out Moreover, the engineer was satisfied but I had paid to get the tank fully emptied and also washed so again was disappointed. it's going to be another few weeks before I find out if the issue with the Bio tank has been solved. and then I will phone the Kingspan head office a few weeks time, To-days date is the
25/08/21 and lodge' my concerns.

However, the issues are now resolved and that is all I wanted as a customer

very bad delivery time. do no respect the agreement. do not respect the price agreement (after advance payment) increased the price leaving us hostage to them. we had to pay the price they demanded, outside of what was agreed in the signed contract, otherwise they would leave the work unfinished

Avoid …!!!! Tried calling Kingspan customer service 43 times. Left 4 messages. Spoke to Emma and Adrian who were both exceptional . Then spoke to David the director who said he would send someone round which he did. Keith who came round this morning to look at my tank told me the water tank and expansions were fitted incorrect. Had a independent bloke round who told me it was installed correct. David assured me it would have been fixed no matter what the problem was. I found Keith to be rude and not helpful one bit. I asked Keith if he had spoke to David he said he couldn’t get through to him but spoke to his manager and the manager said for him to go. So I get told one thing and they have not kept to their word. Disappointed is a understatement. They don’t deserve even 1 rating. David I found to be empathetic and listened and understood how I was feeling and assured me it would be sorted no matter who was at fault. After speaking to David today he said he never said that to me. So am I silly and don’t understand what was said to me… don’t think so..!!! This has left me so upset and disappointed the way this has been handled

Will take your money and not provide a service.

We paid £880 for Kingspan to service our tank twice a year. They only serviced it once and, the blower unit seized due to a small piece of debris which I explained on the phone. They sent out an engineer to "service" the system which normally takes just under the hour. The engineer was in and out within 3 minutes saying i'd need a new blower. Quoted £1,375.93 for the work. I assessed the existing blower and within 30 seconds I had removed the debris and the system works fine now.

Kingspan refuse to refund for the missed service. Instead offering me a free extra service (when unit only needs to be serviced twice a year, this is of no help), a complimentary boost to a higher service package (once again of no use if the services are simply carried out as per the contract). They refuse to refund when they do not provide the product contracted for. Raising a complaint but refusing to raise it further than team leader.

After I got the blower working, I have said they need to send an engineer back to do the service they were meant to do in the first place. He's then found another faulty part. A simple part (£45.86) which he explained and is simple to fix. Originally quoted £224.63. I questioned why i'm being charged for an extra hour (£56.80). So received an amended quote with that removed (£156.47) which I was then happy with. Then received a quote from the team leader with another amended quote. But for £321.79! I then received a call asking for payment for £157.78.
After sorting and confirming a quote with a representative for the correct £156.47, we paid this. Now received another email asking for more money to match a different quote.

The amount of miscommunication and failure to work with the customer is diabolical and not something we expect when paying now over £900 for two services a year. In comparison, the competition are only charging £110 per service.

Please don't tell me to get in contact with you Kingspan, as i've tried to do this over and over again. Can someone more senior contact me to correct this issue and get this sorted. Months of aggravation I really shouldn't be paying for.

Received message below, but still not received a call from Kingspan to resolve these issues.

I have a Titan Biotech P6 sewage treatment plant. I needed an engineer's visit and was quoted £358!!! Needless to say I went elsewhere. How does Kingspan justify this ridiculous fee?

Do not ever buy a Watchman Sonic home heating oil monitor....it's a very, very expensive mistake to rely on such shoddy rubbish to determine whether you have any heating oil in your tank.
Our device told me I still had 40% oil capacity in my tank yet an emergency callout to a boiler engineer determined we had run out of oil, requiring an emergency oil delivery and draining of the system to remove the subsequent airlock before heating was restored , hundreds of pounds later. I'll be using a dipstick in future.

Cylinder started to disintegrate inside after only six years. Fragments blocked the hot water taps. Only for my plumber's several visits I wouldn't have been able to identify the source of the problem. Issue is that Kingspan replaced the cylinder but won't pay for the damage or work to rectify. Kingspan's attitude has been aggressive. In the paperwork it says 'no need to register' for 25 year guarantee but then by email then told me I was confused and that you must register within 30 days.

I would give minus zero stars if the option was available.

I have Gold service plan with them, they came to compete the annual maintenance service, and was informed some repair work is required

I was quoted over £400 for the work which they required payment up front. Why when I've had a service plan with them for the past 8 years!

I paid up and expected the repairs to be carried out.

On the day two so called engineers turned up, looked at the job, made a feeble attempt to carry out repairs but was told they can't repair it!
So was given another quote of over £1600, I asked for a refund of the £400 I'd paid to get the job done I the first place.

But they are refusing to refund me even though they didnt fulfill their side of the contract and complete the repair. So I'm £400 down, and the repair still needs fixing.

Needless to say, I have another firm coming to fix the issues for far less than Kingspan quoted.

I won't be renewing my service plan, that's for sure.

Avoid these rip off merchants, all they care about is getting your money and doing nothing for it.

I get the impression they are just a lot money grabbing so and so's.

Do yourself a favour, and avoid this company.

For a company that claims to employ 13000+ people you'd think they could put some of those in their customer services division! Having spent well over £100k through SIG Northwest for their product, the customer support is probably the worst I have come across from any company, big or small. I have never got through to anyone in technical, nor have they ever returned any of my messages. My project manager has only know them to return a call once, that was six months after the job finished! If Celotex can hit the U values your after, I would suggest you use their product instead
