Customer Testimonials

Our neighbouring farmer’s herd of cows broke through our hedge and wreak havoc upon our garden, the Farmer’s insurance company disputed our claim from the outset even though there was clear evidence to support it, they were extremely unpleasant and problematic to deal with, having used John services several years ago for a separate issue, we called upon him once again in the hope that he would be able to assist us on this occasion.
We were not disappointed, having had several months of getting no replies from the Loss Adjuster, John took up our case, took the stress off us and within a few weeks we started to see results and am pleased to say we have now settled in our favour.
John is extremely professional, knowledgeable in his field of expertise, straight forward and honest, he dealt with our case swiftly and calmly and got the results we wanted. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. We will definitely use him again should the need arise.
Thankyou John for all of your hard work.

John was recommended to me for the organisation and overseeing of contractors carrying out renovations to my property following water ingress. John handled everything from start to finish in the most professional manner and to the highest of standards. John also uses the best contractors who also have very high standards and are very skilled and trustworthy. It was a privelage having a John as my surveyor and I would definitely recommend him too. Thanks John.

After my house suffered damage arising from a vehicle crash (caused by an uninsured driver), I made a claim through my buildings insurance. The claim was disputed from the outset by my insurers. Eventually (and to make matters worse) the problems were compounded by my insurer’s appointed builder carrying out unsatisfactory remediation work, without any regard for care and attention.

I called in Evalue8 to obtain an independent, professional opinion on the workmanship. Mr Gillott was very reassuring at such a stressful time. He inspected the affected areas thoroughly and provided a report of clear and sensible advice, itemising the deficiencies couched in terms a lay person could understand.

This was particularly helpful and enabled me to present a coherent case to the Ombudsman and my insurer.

We were badly hit by the Boxing Day floods of 2015. We had no idea what to do with regard to our insurance let alone contract out the repair work. Fortunately, Barb found John's website online and made contact with him.

We are so grateful to John for his attention, expertise and bulldog attitude in dealings with our insurer. He was a wonderful ally and always had our best interests at heart. We honestly do not know how we we would have managed without him. He saved us thousands of pounds and ensured all work was done to the highest standard.

We could not recommend him highly enough. Thank you so much John.

John Gillott has provided a professional and thorough service in terms of our Party Wall Award. He has liaised with all parties involved and dealt swiftly and calmly with complicating factors leading to a comprehensive process and award. I would recommend him.

John Gillott acted on my behalf to settle a party wall issue. He was extremely professional and helpful. I felt he went above and beyond throughout the process, and I would happily recommend his services

John has been an absolute star whilst dealing with my property in Watnall, Nottingham. I could have had an extremely stressful time over the last couple of years but he has been a rock. My home was affected by subsidence because the council saw fit to allow planning permission on unstable ground, namely a 14 metre railway cutting which was subsequently used for landfill. He has dealt with everything and also found a marvellous consruction company to carry out the works. John, thank you so much you are wonderful.

If I could give more than a 5* rating for John, I most certainly would. Having bought what we would thought would be our dream home, it turned out was actually the worst decision we have ever made. Despite trying to get the builders to return and put the brickwork and other issues right, it turned into an absolute battle causing a huge amount of distress, stress and upset. From the minute I spoke to John, I felt that it was in the best hands. John is a calm, friendly and sympathetic man with a vast amount of experience. John prepared his report which was sent to NHBC, who attended to inspect the property, issued a report on their findings and have made the builders return to remedy the poor standard of workmanship. I have no doubt that without John's report, we would still be battling with the builders. This outcome is the best I could have hoped for and have John to thank for this. I could not recommend John highly enough and will do so to anybody in a similar position. Thanks John ☺

John was fantastic. He was efficient and knowledgeable, and able to answer all out questions. He kept us updated throughout the process.Things were very stressful before we engaged John's services, but he spoke with us and put our minds at ease. Would highly recommend his services.

I can only endorse the testamonials made here. Due to an escape of water which flooded my property in the Vale of Belvoir, the ensuing insurance claim was not moving forward at all with little to no communication, causing me much anxiety. Thankfully I found John's website and he came into the insurance claim process half-way through. It would not have progressed through to completion without him and his expertise, his knowledge of the industry and its 'language', and his good advice. The team he chose to work with to reinstate my property was excellent, and they finished to a high standard.I thoroughly recommend John. He's trustworthy, reliable and competent. To put it simply: he know's what he's talking about and he gets things done. You'll be in safe hands.
