In a recent incident, workers cut through a water main and flooded the road and residents say they’ve not received so much as an apology.
One woman seeking legal advice, who didn’t want to be named, said: “They don’t seem to give a damn. It was like a river in Gaston Way and the water flowed all the way round to Catlin Crescent – you needed wellies to walk through it.“
Safety breaches in south- east revealed by whistleblower at Persimmon, resulting in bullying and harassment
Would love to hear more about this. We are a group of residents having major issues with Persimmon in the South (Hampshire)
Any idea on the safety breaches?
I am disgusted by Charles Church who have now been taken over by Persimmon Homes Midlands. We moved into our house in May 2007 and had so many problems with things that the builders had not done i.e extra lighting in the kitchen that had not been fitted and we had paid for. Also plumbing errors and now all my windows are dropping because they are quite honestly inferior and badly manufactured. I have been in contact with Persimmon Homes and they are taking no responsibility for the windows and have told me to claim off my house insurance! I live in Milton Keynes and am now going to try and take them to the Small Claims Court!
I too live in Milton Keynes and we have had loads of problems. One of their builders drove into the side of my house and damaged the render because of the poor workmanship in repairing it 3 plus years later it has deteriated the whole side of my rendered wall is a mess, instead of defense ring it in the first place after their mess up they have sent odd job maintenance people out to slap s bit of paint on it hoping it will cover it up.. Well I’m sick to death of leaving messages for there so called customer service manager to respond. I
I am now seeking legal action as I’m fed up with their diabolical service .
The render
The main socket in the master bedroom has been connected to a ring main serving the ground floor and not upper floor ring main as labeled, which could have been extremely dangerous if we had not discovered it.
Charles Church now Persimmon Homes have no guilt and have various other mistakes when they built this house in 2007 including plumbing errors and not putting in lighting under kitchen units which we had paid for. Also we have had a loose tile which have come off the roof which along with electrical errors could have killed someone!

I live in Milton Keynes also. I am also so so disappointed with Persimmon Homes they just don’t care, I have Windows that are not fitted correctly and they have refused to take any responsibility. The Windows have dropped resulting in gaps at the top which let in cold air. Some are worse than others. My house was originally built by Charles Church in May 2007 who were at the time supposed to be premier builders what a laugh! I believe that Persimmon took over Charles Church. All they have advised me to do is claim on my house insurance! I informed them that it was nothing to do with my house insurance company. The NHBC want nothing to do with it as they say the Windows are not structural.
I would love to take legal action against Persimmon
Homes as I think these large building companies get away with it every time!
I also got hold of the Jonathan Vernon Smith BBC 3 Counties Show who aired my complaint on the radio but still I have had no results back from that either!
Considering Persimmon Homes are one of the largest builders I personally think it is discussing how they get away with all of the problems and heart ache that they cause and Charles Church too!
Their service is diabolical I agree.
