Testimonial

I would like to say a big thank you to your Site Manager for all his help with dealing with a problem with my Boiler yesterday. He went above and beyond and is a credit to your company.

Mrs Ward - Wherry Housing Association

Wonderful staff.  Never had more courteous, clean and tidy workmen; not a wasted minute.  Many thanks Fosters!

Mrs Todd, South Kesteven Level Access Shower Contract

The workmen all work so very hard to minimise the disruption. The quality of finish is of a very high standard. I'm delighted with my new kitchen. Thank you.

Mrs Joyce, Victory Housing Trust

I'm absolutely delighted. It has been a hard week because I live in a one bedroom bungalow so have little space but it has been well worth it. I cannot fault your staff, they have been excellent, arriving on time, working very hard, cheerful and friendly and clearing up as they go. You estimated the work to take 10 days but completed it in only 7 days. Thank you so very much.

Mr Moore, Wherry Housing Association

Your workmen were excellent, clean, professional and friendly. We would recommend your firm to anyone. Many thanks for an excellent job.
 

Mr and Mrs Williamson, Victory Housing Trust

Accent Nene is committed to providing well maintained homes for our residents. Appointing partnering contractors that share our values and have the skills and resources to deliver on that objective is therefore essential. In Fosters we have found that commitment and they are successfully undertaking responsive repairs, void works, planned kitchen, bathroom and heating replacements and now our out-of-hours call centre service.

Andrew Williams - Accent Nene Managing Director

After our transfer in 2006, Freebridge appointed Fosters to undertake our Decent Homes internal replacement programme and improvements to our non- traditional constructed homes. Freebridge, our tenants and our local community continue to experience the benefits of Fosters commitment to tenant satisfaction, quality and local employment brings.

Tony Hall - Chief Executive Freebridge Community Housing

Fosters were appointed to deliver the Consortium planned works in January 2010. Since this time Fosters have successfully mobilised for our multiple members and are on course to deliver 1700 major replacement elements including kitchens, bathrooms and roofs in the 1st year of 6. From the outset Fosters have delivered their promises to both the members and the residents. Fosters are outstanding in their ability to deliver a quality product from day one and continue to deliver high levels of resident satisfaction.

Steve Tyree - Head of Eastern Procurement Consortium

I have lived in my house for 23 years and no previous contractors can hold a candle to Fosters. Please never give the contract to anyone else. The workforce are excellent, efficient & friendly. The office staff are all polite and respond to queries immediately.

Wendy Dyer, Accent Nene Tenant Board Member

I would recommend Fosters anytime.

Mrs Cox, Cotman Housing Association
