G.M.G. (Contractors) Limited draws strongly divided reports. Many reviewers describe high-standard workmanship, polite and helpful staff, and tidy sites, with several saying they would recommend the firm or use it again. Others report serious problems, including poor rendering and roofing, damage to gardens and property, waste and tiles left in bins, and a satellite dish not refitted. One reviewer describes exposed ladders, rubbish and swearing on a nearby site, and several mention rude or unhelpful responses when raising concerns.
Overall an outstanding contractor where the work is of a very high standard. Always keen to support a local independant contractors where we can too.
Watched the shocking safety work from my house nearby. Ladders left exposed after hours with no covering applied despite kids nearby, rubbish left everywhere including plastic wire and the workers were loud and rude, swearing constantly. I felt it was all totally unprofessional. From a health and safety point of view, I believe this company is severely lacking. The site manager turned up after complaints from a neighbour (who had scaffolding in their garden apparently without permission while the young lads laughed at the elderly couple and I witnesses this as did others) and also tidied up some of the safety issues left behind from workers. We will certainly not be using this contractor for our future renovations. Advice would be to advise staff of their surroundings when it comes to language but also ensure health and safety codes are adhered to at all times and rubbish tidied away.
Shocking workmanship and zero accountability I had external wall insulation and rendering carried out through a local council scheme, with the work done by GMG. It is now two years later, and my home has been left in an appalling condition. The rendering is failing, the finish is uneven and unsightly, and the overall standard of workmanship is far below what any competent contractor should deliver. What was meant to improve my property has instead caused ongoing stress, worry, and potential long-term damage. The installation looks rushed and poorly executed. Corners, edges, and detailing are badly finished, and the problems began far sooner than they ever should have if the job had been done properly. This is not minor snagging — this is fundamental failure of what should have been a long-lasting system. To make matters worse, getting meaningful support or proper remedial action has been incredibly frustrating. For work carried out under a council-backed scheme, the lack of accountability is deeply disappointing. My home is my biggest investment, and trusting GMG with it has turned into a costly and stressful mistake. I would strongly urge anyone considering using this company to think very carefully and ensure they have watertight guarantees and independent inspections in place. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend GMG.
Absolute cowboys! they have won tender for roofing contract for the falkirk council, falkirk council being another issue, they were given work to fix a roof of my property, they carried out an assessment (without accessing my property dispite being advised water was coming into the property perhaps through the facia) they raised issues with the hip and ridge of the roof along with numerous tiles front and back and the chimney, scaffolding went up and was up for months, roofers came from GMG and stuck maybe 1 or 2 tiles on with sealer (despite their assessment of the ridge and chimney) they removed the scaffolding and advised work was complete, work was not complete the chimney was not fixed, the ridge was not fixed and tiles were still missing. They then tried to charge £3000 for this work, a complaint was made to the council that work hadn’t been complete and they have a fraudulent invoice, once the complaint was processed GMC sneakily tried to come back to hide their poor craftsmanship and do the work they were meant to do but luckily were removed from the property and banned so the investigation could take place, this is now with the SPSO for investigation and hopefully and investigation into them in relation with the falkirk council will show rhen for what they are, crooks scam artists and cowboys. AVOID!
Driver of the work van was an absolute inconsiderate idiot. Deliberately sped up to drive through a huge puddle on road when I was walking on pavement - soaked me from head to foot
An amazing team. From the pre construction coordination from the TLO, to the site manager all the way to the completion pack. The GMG team call it “your journey”. It was seamless, so much I’ve came on to leave this review. This company is going from strength to strength and it’s great to see it! I will be following YOUR journey from now on in. Good luck and thank you.
Great service from the team, happy with all the work carried out by them, would recommend
Avoid at all cost. Will never recommend this company. Complete shambles. Work not complete, they damaged my property and not fixing it. All they do is pass the problem onto someone else and never fix
Would have been a great drive this morning If jimmy savile in his pick up truck didn't nearly wipe out my car with my 2 small children at a roundabout because he clearly doesn't understand how roundabouts work if the workmanship is anything like the driving i would avoid like the plague ps if the driver had apologised i wouldn't have left this review
On site at neighbours property working on behalf of SLC Damage to my roof leaving it non wind and water tight Spoke to on site workers asking for clerk of works/ project manager to attend, told not coming out on a Saturday… refused access to communal paths until it was resolved and I had spoken to someone, said they would just jump the fence… Was given personal phone number for Michael, refused to answer call or voice mail)was probably alerted by on site staff. Complaint and legal action to follow
GMG were working in our area a few weeks ago. Their work is to a very high standard, everyone was very professional at all times and I found their office staff to be very helpful. I had a query and I was passed through to their Liaison Officer who was very helpful and polite. I was very impressed with everyone.
GMG completed numerous work efficiently and left the workspace clean and tidy. We appreciated their professionalism and expertise throughout the process and understanding to complete the work quickly. I would hire GMG contractors again for any future needs and recommend.
We couldn’t be happier with the work done by GMG! The entire team was a pleasure to work with from the initial consultation through the finished job. They listened carefully to our needs and preferences and provided expert guidance throughout the process and made sure it was completed in a timely manner. The project manager, Liam, kept us informed every step of the way and promptly addressed our questions or concerns. Would definitely recommend! Thanks guys C 18CR
We had GMG construction a few years to replace our roof. They guys were great. Very polite, well presented and always tidy at the end of the day. Noticed them in a local shop and see that they are still as polite and well presented. Great to see they will be working in the area. We were extremely pleased with our new roof and sure they will do the same job for the houses they are working on here in Newmains.
Please avoid!! Note all the brand new "good" reviews from people with other reviews.. probably fake!! AVOID at all costs. DANGEROUS. This company provided my eco 4 upgrades. Solar panels and heat pump, they subcontracted to a Quinn energy and ck renewables. After the install in February there has been a low um in my electricity box inside my home. I assumed thus was normal and safe and that they would have done all legal electrical safety checks. This week the low hum escalated to loud buzzing tractor noises so I had to immediately call emergency Scottish power. They came out and said it was not their equipment in the box so must be the other equipment. I.e the solar panel hot pump circuit board. They said it may be arcing/ faulty rcd which is a dangerous emergency. I called gmg who were pathetic rude and nonchalant basically saying I was"assuming" an issue and I must get my own electrician and pay for it myself. Em news flash you poorly installed live electrical equipment in my home, It is legal responsibility to inspect its safety!! Still awaiting a call due to my urgent emergency ...(4 days now) would be dead and house burned down had I not had someone to borrow money from for emergency electrician. What he found was appalling. Loose live wires, arcing and about 10 other issues loose missing screws, loose safety covers. I'm appalled terrified and disgusted. A lawyer the energy agency and trading standards have been contacted. Dangerous, nasty rude uncaring bunch. Ciaran especially rude - sounds like a spoiled brat on the phone chuckling. Need to be shut down. And they will be once I get these complaints in! House was left in tatters when eco 4 was complete. Furniture carpets everything destroyed.
Recently used GMG for work at my home. Couldn't fault them, great workmanship. Would highly recommend and I would definitely use them again
We had work carried out by GMG on our new home. Amazing work carried out and lovely team. Would definitely recommend.
Found the guys at GMG to be very professional, the work they carried out at my home was done to a very high standard. I had an issue with my satellite dish after its removal and it was sorted within the hour after a chat with the site management. Cheers again guys!

I recently had cavity wall insulation installed by GMG and I’m really happy with the results. The team was professional, efficient, and left no mess behind. My home feels warmer and more energy-efficient already. Highly recommend them for anyone looking to improve their home’s insulation!
I recently had GMG handle a roofing job for my home, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, their team was professional and efficient. They provided a detailed estimate, kept me informed throughout the process, and completed the work on time. The quality of the materials used was top-notch, and the finished roof looks fantastic. I would highly recommend GMG.
What can I say about this company without swearing bloody useless promise after promise then nothing done,, took my doors down left them out in my back garden for 6 months the doors rotten with laying out all that time then my motorbike got stolen from the garden as the doors were my main security and all I got asked was did you contact the police as if I'm some stupid wee boy, I wouldn't let them take the doors down in the first place but unfortunately I was working away when they did the work and when they where finished I was left to get rid of there waste total cowboy company and office a waste of time that right ciaran who is probably the one that gave a good review
Absolutely shocking workmanship. Management are no better. They don’t care that they ruin your stuff or property as one manager Mikey says “you expect that when you get work done to your house!”. They certainly would not tolerate this work to be done to THEIR homes. Taken the last of my savings and I cannot afford the thousands of pounds to put my house and garden back to its original state. Burst front door frame, back garden absolutely ruined. Shed broken. Contents of my shed inside my house now for 8 months. They simply do not care. This has been detrimental to mental health.
Absolute bunch of cowboys ! ! ! Rendering and roof done on behalf of West Lothian Council, pure farse from start to finish, very poor workmanship, unprofessional and no respect for the property or anything in or around the property. Plants and ornaments broken, scaffolding on roof not fitted correctly which allowed water to pour through into the bedroom, which made the window sill swell, causing the blind to no longer fit correctly and it broke 2 slats when trying to close it. Laminated flooring was absolutely saturated causing it to warp and buckle ! ! ! Complaint/Insurance Claim was put in 5th July 2024 to GMG and 3 months later told that they are not liable and are not accepting responsibility, despite us providing video and photo evidence ! ! ! Avoid this company. Council have replaced the window sill though
rendering to close two different colours marks left by scaffolders rep from gmg took pictures gas pipes covered in plaster cant tell me when fixed if ever very obvious difference send texts no reply
Friendly & professional workers, left my property spotless and workmanship is top quality
Great service given, workers were friendly & efficient. Explained everything for us & put my satellite dish back up once they were finished.
Recently had my roof renewed by the team at GMG. Excellent work from start to finished and great communication throughout the process. Would highly recommend.
Amazing service, staff are great as well with explaining what was needing done and made sure my day wasn’t going to be disruptive with the work they had to carry out. Great service and friendly staff.
Stay away from this one. Lazy workers who dump tiles and bricks in my recycling bin and my neighbours garden has been wrecked by their workers lazily dropping scaffolding in it, destroying her plants.
Brilliant service from GMG. Had faucets fixed and the workmen were great, delighted with the results. Recommend GMG for any work needed
I have found this company to be diligent, respectful and punctual.
Outstanding work from GMG, the best around, keep up the good and honest work you do.
Excellent work carried out by GMG. Workers were on time, polite and kept the place tidy throughout. House is looking top class thanks to them.
Very helpful.
Walking past and was verbally abused by their workers not professional at all. I’m a young woman and was made very uncomfortable
Destructive, rude, disrespectful of property , and left my garden like a bombsite! Between them and Clyde Scaffolding, was more like a bunch of vandals had visited, than bona fide 'workmen' ... The damage to my plant pots, plants, and turf, is shocking!
Terrible removed my satalite dish down and never put back up . While working on exterior. Left me with no tv. Complained 3 times. Still not put back up after 6 months+.
Good quality work Profesional and hassle free
Good company.
Amazing service provided by GMG Contractors, workers were so polite and friendly.
