Completely rude staff who decided to knock on my door early in the morning and threaten to scratch up my car if I didn't move it with 0 notice given. They have a complete disregard for all those in the area of their works giving no notice when intruding on neighbouring land, causing noise and insulting local residents when we don't bow down to their expectations. Moreover who passed the health and safety checks to block access to three flats with scaffolding without even bothering to warn residents or ask about their accessibility needs.
Vile and disgusting company.

Where do I start. Ground Control are contracted for the grounds maintenance in the property where I live. Since having the contract the state of the grounds has gradually deteriorated, they often don't bother turning up and when they do seem to do a very poor quality job. One of their staff was once heard on the phone saying "This site is a doddle". Well if its a doddle why are they doing such a terrible job

I have worked at Ground Control for over 15 years and have always been treated well with investment made in regards to training/courses. The company is very forward thinking and has expanded/grown during my time with the business which is great to see, providing new opportunities and keen to promote from within as well as bring in new employees for a fresh approach. The direction now is one of "caring for the environment" and one they take very seriously with ambitious plans in regards to tree planting.

We never had a problem with the company until about 3 weeks before we moved out. The gardeners always had to borrow a key for access to the back yard, because they lost their set of keys. Unfortunately for us, they managed lose ours as well. No big deal I thought, it happens.
Problem was I had to get all of my locks replaced because of this, which cost me £450. I got in contact with the company asking for some compensation, as this was hardly my fault.
That was over 3 months ago! Every person that I have spoken to has been either unhelpful or just plain rude. The answer I got the most was:
