“Kev and Matty sorted out our attic, June '20. They were a great team whose attitude was friendly and positive. We've had a lot of tradesmen in during the renovation of this old house and these guys are clearly pros. Mark has been helpful in quickly sorting out changes too. I don't normally write reviews but I appreciate positive service.”

“Contacted the Dundee branch to seek advice on having cavity wall insulation extracted. Received prompt, courteous service from that initial telephone call, and then also from Allan Brown who my query was passed to. Allan gave reassuring advice and arranged to carry out a survey within a few days. I would definitely recommend the Dundee branch and would use again if I ever need similar work done again in the future.”

“After a leak in our bathroom, Richardson and Starling were fantastic from start to finish. Dave explained everything that needed doing and was polite and professional. The wet floor as taken up, joists removed, chemical spraying done and new joists and flooring put down quickly and efficiently. Throughout Dave was very safety conscious with the kids going around, friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this company.”

“Used Richardson + Starling last year at our previous house to great effect. The Dundee team of Mike and Andy headed by Allan Brown (Branch Manager) did an excellent job. The job just done was external damp proofing regarding digging trenches, cutting slabs, drilling holes into the masonry and injecting. Also, extra remedial works requested by myself were undertaken with no fuss and expertise. All materials removed and the site left pristine.”

“I have recently had a survey carried out for me by Allan Brown, Manager of your Dundee and Angus Branch. I found him extremely professional and thorough, not only answering my questions with knowledge and expertise but doing so in a straightforward and understandable manner. His in-depth written report came in the very same day. Excellent service - thank you.”

“Matty and Evan were here today to treat my loft for woodworm. What a nice experience it was to have such lovely, cheerful efficient and knowledgeable tradesmen !!! They did a neat job, cleaned up after themselves. I had no disruption to my family home life and was able to get on with my normal daily tasks. Would I recommend Richardson & Starling? You bet I would.”

“Although the standard of work was proficient and competent, the management and communication was abysmal. Costs spiralled as did completion dates. Along the way, we didn't know when work would resume leaving the 3 year old's bedroom (along with most of the flat) out of bounds to the family which then included a new born. Holidays had to be extended as did child care and alternative living arrangements as 5 days work took nearly a month to complete. Getting information from them was painful, if not farcical at times. Quotes for further work didn't add up and had old information on them leading to more delays. All in all, it was deeply regrettable that we chose to go ahead with R&S”

We are pleased that you feel the standard of our work was proficient and competent. However, we are surprised to learn that you see Richardson & Starling as a ‘1 Star’ company. Upon exposure of the areas we were working on, further areas of rot where discovered. This involved more work which unfortunately increased the costs. The works were also required in a property which was adjacent to yours, this involved a further specification and co-ordination from us. We understand that there was some communication issues, but we did take this on board and discussed it with you at the time. We have since reviewed our procedures and dealt with these issues internally. Richardson & Starling has acknowledged that this could have been better and as a gesture of goodwill decreased the costs of your works. As a result we feel that the one star rating on the review is unfair.

“Staff were very friendly and efficient. Introduced themselves and explained the procedure thoroughly to us prior to beginning the work. Laid floor coverings to protect our flooring and left the attic clean and tidy. Would highly recommend the company. The technicians were Colin J and Kevin A from the Stirling branch. Fantastic job.”

“Highland Council has had Neil Ferries and Alan Swanson from your Elgin office in doing rot work in the Kingussie Courthouse building. Both tradesmen were polite, courteous and communicated well the stages of work that was being undertaken during each visit. They did their utmost to keep the premises free from debris and dust whilst working. The quality of workmanship was also very good.”
