Procast Building Contractors Ltd t/a Procast Energy Services

If I could give negative stars, I would. Procast is an absolute joke of a company. The whole neighbourhood has been subjected to their incompetence as they attempt to replace kitchens, and it has been nothing short of a disaster from start to… well, who knows when, because they certainly don’t. We were told it would take two days—we are now on day 10, and still waiting. In that time, we’ve been treated to sheer incompetence at every turn: • Bodged work at every stage • Major flooding thanks to their shoddy plumbing • More leaks because apparently, learning from mistakes isn’t their thing • Personal property damaged—because why bother taking care? • Mess left everywhere—like they think our homes are rubbish tips And the best part? The constant lies and empty promises: • “It’ll be done by lunchtime.” (Lunchtime which day? November 2026?) • “We’ll be doing that first thing.” (First thing next century?) This is publicly-funded work, and yet it’s been handled with all the professionalism of a toddler wielding a hammer. An absolute disgrace. They have a LOT to answer for.

In February this year along with the rest of the residents in our wee scheme we all got new kitchens put in. From start to finish the guys were brilliant l, quick and sufficient. With having a large family this was even better as they made the process so much easier for us. The joiners, plumbers and electricians were amazing and sorted anything we needed. Along with the head staff who answered all our questions and helped us. We can not thank the procast company for providing us with our beautiful new kitchen, Can not recommend the company highly enough. Many thanks The MacLeods Oban

I'm 6 weeks into a council renovation. I work nightshift and asked for an approximate guide/timeline and got nothing. I moved my bins to the front of my property to save them being trapped in my garden due to the scaffolding. So now a skip has been put against them giving me no access to my bins (they could've easily been moved to the other side of the front garden) For the last week I've had wood with huge nails from my roof discarded in the front garden - I have now put it into the skip. Every week I have to sweep the access and around my property and lift all the plastic sheeting, discarded rubbish, juice cans/bottles, cigarette butt's (no one in our house smokes) A scaffolding post is directly outside of the back door giving no access. They've been using my outside tap to work on neighbouring houses - what would they do if I didn't have one? I had to contact a manager at the company this week due to one of the workers, shouting, swearing, offering someone in the street a fight while outside my window - it was either that or the police! It has been so much worse than anticipated. It is very intimidating in a morning, trying to do the school run while the group of workies gather at your front. I'm very tired and everything has slowed down. My house is constantly dark with the windows covered which has to happen but it shouldn't be happening for such a long length of time. I cannot wait to see the back of this disrespectful company.

Only giving 1 star as I am not allowed to give zero. Company been hired by the council to do work on the houses around the area. From the start has been an absolute shambles, my mother's garden furniture has been covered by their mess as had her car and constantly blocking access to a disabled driveway that requires 24hrs access. Company is absolutely appalling and should be ashamed of themselves.

I can confirm the comments before me. The local council hired this company to renovate several blocks in my street (roofing, insulation.) The work was started six months ago, but they have stopped and disappeared. A third block was recently started. The work they did on our building took them half a year to complete, but on the third block they finished the same job just in 1 month! This is probably because most of the time the workers do nothing but walk around on the scaffolding, with a hammer in their hand, hammering on random places to make noise, and their boss think they are working. I have observed this several times. Tenants who work in the afternoon or at night shift jobs have their schedules completely disrupted, because there's no rest for them. The workers arrive every morning around 8am, start working as loudly as possible for 10-15 minutes: they start hammering on the walls and scaffolding in random places, go up on the scaffolding talking loudly, often with a radio in hand to make sure they wake all the residents. When they have finished making 15 minutes of noise and everyone is awake, they disappear for hours. For two days they worked inside the building, where they built a wall to replace the old roof door: the job was completed in 1 day, but they spent a second day there. They didn't do anything all day, nothing changed from the first day, but their radio was turned on all day loudly as possible. Imagine the tenants trying to sleep after a night shift! Not only their attitude to the peace and quiet of the residents is "quite excellent" and "empathetic", but also the quality of their work: they pierced my ceiling with a steel rod and soaked two of my rooms. If the local council starts similar work on your house, run away: move somewhere else for the next six months, because the stress this company causes is not worth it. Not only their work is unprofessional, but they have no empathy or respect towards the residents.
