Definitely 5 stars plus!

Definitely 5 stars plus!
The team of 3 men arrived on time as promised to insulate the attic.
When they finished about 4 hours later the lead installer showed me the finished work. Then they tidied.
The result that cold evening in February was amazing. No draughts and a warmer more comfortable home. Thank you so much Arate, I had no idea it could be so easy, so efficient and a with a powerfully excellent team. Everyone should do it!

Attic insulation with earth wool

A rate recently insulated my attic with earth wool. I have to say the whole process was very straightforward from start to finish. The lads arrived on a Monday morning to complete the job, nice lads, very respectful, there to do a job and done it very well. Everywhere was covered in plastic and any dirt that was left was hoovered up and the place left clean and tidy. Highly recommend this company.

Very disappointing service once an issue was discovered

I initially chose A Rate based on what seemed like a professional service, but my experience turned out to be extremely frustrating and disappointing. A major error was made by the company in measuring the amount of attic flooring required — something two other companies had no issue with.

Despite me having requested and received clear email confirmation about the scope of work, prior to signing the contract, I was made to feel as though I had misrepresented the situation, once the issue was discovered. This was upsetting and frustrating.

It took persistent follow-up and a formal complaint before the issue was taken seriously. Thankfully, eventually, the general manager Andy did step in and refunded my deposit. However, the way the situation was handled up until then left me very stressed and disappointed, and I would not recommend this company based on my experience.

Wish we'd insulated sooner

Very happy to recommend A-rate. From initial enquiry to job completion the service was excellent. We had attic and walls insulation carried out -in a home we mistakingly thought had a good level of insulation in situ. The difference has been remarkable and we enjoyed a cozy, draft free home with less reliance on heating all winter. A tidy job all round. Many thanks

Fantastic company to do business with

Having had the attic and walls insulated, I decided to go with this company again to replace all my windows and patio doors.

I couldn't be more happy with my decision. Paul and Les were brilliant, did a marvelous job and were friendly and helpful when I asked questions.

The new windows have transformed the look of the house.

Very happy customer!

Top Class Customer Service Experience

As a landlord that's let out my property through a third party and not the tenant, I was a little bit apprehensive about this part of the journey how I would organise both tenant and Technician, but from my first call to the last, Shay from the office made this an extremely seamless journey, he is unbelievable a rare breed when it comes to 5 star customer service, he is definitely A rated gold star, I would of been lost without his help, guidance, ongoing updates, knowledge and advice. Definitely would recommend this company for all your insulation needs!

Just had the attic insulation done in…

Just had the attic insulation done in the last week. Shay was originally the point of contact then one of his guys called within a day or so to look over the job. I had insulation flooring put down to replace the old chipboard and extra insulation fitted. All pipes were wrapped and a plumbers walkway was put in free of charge. The lads that did the job couldn't have been cleaner in doing their job and it only took a few hours. All paperwork was filled out for me to finalize my grant. Would definitely recommend them. Also I had no hidden costs. I had a full quote emailed before the job was done. Thanks again.

A highly professional company

A highly professional company. Shay and Andy were always available to us when we rang with queries and nothing was too much trouble to them. Ben the Technical Surveyor was very helpful and explained everything to us in detail. Adam and the crew did a wonderful job including fitting a new ladder. The job was completed in the matter of hours and they did a great clean up job at the end.

I would highly recommend A Rate Your Attic to anyone.

Thank you so much to all the staff.
