Buildteam - negative reviews thread removals

Recommended Posts

As an East Dulwich resident that used Build Team and had a less than satisfactory experience with them I find it concerning that the negative reviews are being removed.


The company seemed happy to use the forum for exposure in the past:

Admin's note on another thread earlier this week suggested there was a threat of legal action from Buildteam due to the negative reviews and whether they were genuine or not. This is a privately run forum that relies on donations to cover running costs so it's a serious thing to run the risk of defending an action, even if you're in the right. What Admin has done in other cases is remove all references to the company in question- positive and negative. Company doesn't have the negative reviews up, but can't use the forum to advertise either. Seems like that might be appropriate here.


And threads like this do stay up, so residents can form their own views about whether they want to use a company that seems unwilling to engage with critical feedback on their work - would certainly put me off.

    • This presumably hasn't been done by vandals. It's hardly a Sycamore Gap situation. So if it's been done by professionals, unless it was a mistake (unlikely) there must have been a good reason, as it would have cost money. It would perhaps have been a good idea to put a notice on the tree explaining why such drastic work was done, but usually (I think) it would be either because of disease (often not noticeable on the surface) or that the roots or branches  were endangering nearby structures. As already said, nobody on here is likely to know. The tree department in Southwark Council are helpful in my (admittedly limited) experience. Please post on here when you have found out, as I agree what's left of the tree looks pretty odd. Depending on why the work was done, possibly they intend to remove the rest as well?
    • I have a very stupid question. I want to get a SIM card to put in an old mobile as a back up,  in case despite my best efforts my mobile gets stolen and I have no way of contacting anybody quickly, eg banks. Can I just buy any old cheap pay as you go  SIM card and put say ten pounds on it and it will then be fine for years (with the phone kept charged!) even if I don't use it, or do I have to use the phone  every so often to keep the SIM card valid?
    • I hate to see trees cut down to such an unfinished state. Unless the tree is home to wildlife, an effort should be made to remove & replace. Otherwise, it's just so useless & unsightly.
    • Given the level of care in Dulwich Park, I would not expect this to be careless or unnecessary. It will grow back.
