Rowantree Homes Limited fits and maintains solar panels, batteries, inverters and car chargers. Several customers describe Les and his team as professional, friendly and good at explaining the work, with jobs carried out in a neat and tidy way. Prompt responses to faults and after-sales support are reported, including help with a router change and a system that needed parts ordered over Christmas. A few customers mention a clear quote with no pressure selling and paperwork handled for them, and one describes a complex installation on a listed church that went smoothly. One reviewer reports a pigeon problem under panels fitted without bird mesh; Les cleared the nests, sanitised the roof, cleaned the panels and fitted mesh over a long day.
Les and cal was excellent from start to finish would definitely recommend them
We had 13 solar panels installed on our 3-storey house in 2011. Back then, we didn’t realise that by not having bird mesh fitted, those panels might as well have been billboards offering an ‘open invitation’ to any passing pigeons to set up home. When the first pair arrived this summer, we thought that they were quite cute. However, within a few of months they had produced a colony with at least thirteen nests! We couldn’t step out of our front door without encountering masses of pigeon poo, feathers and splatted eggs on our front path, and also on windows and windowsills. With the hosepipe ban, preventing me from using a pressure washer, I just had to do my best to clear up the mess with a brush and a bucket every morning. Not a pleasant task! I was given Cal’s contact number by someone I trusted in the trade. When I called him, he asked me to send photos of the two rooves on which we had the panels installed. He had a look at them, decided that he could do the job without the added expense of needing scaffolding, gave us a quote which wasn’t cheap but was what I had expected. He explained that it would include lifting panels, clearing out all the nests, checking for damage to any of the electrical components and replacing as required, sanitising the roof, and cleaning the panels thoroughly before fitting the bird mesh. He arrived at the time he’d said’ introduced himself, set up and secured his ladders, assessed the extent of the problem and showed me the photos he had taken before proceeding. He filled a black rubble sack with the nests and a further two with the feathers and muck which had filled the entire length of one of the gutters on the higher roof, before scraping and sanitising the roof, and using a hose to flush out the gutters. Once he’d cleaned and sanitised the panels he cut and fitted the bird mesh and then cleared up the mess below on the path, windows and sills. Cal worked steadily throughout the day working right through until he’d completed the job at 8 pm, to the very high standard he had set for himself. I found him to be personable and professional in everything he did. Thank you so much Cal. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Rowantree Homes Ltd. I would also advise anyone with solar panels who doesn’t have bird mesh fitted to do so as soon as possible, because prevention is far less messy than cure!
Quick and prompt, I req an inverter fitting under warranty. Spoke to Les and true to his word they came out in time and did the job. He also registered the new inverter for me. Great job, thankyou.
We were in the dark about why our panels although working were not giving us metered feedback. Les being very knowledgeable checked out everything finding that the inverter on our system we have had for 11 years, had in fact given up which after reading reports online is one of the most repeated problems, work carried out in one day by his very competent fitter, and all is well. I would highly recommend this firm
Brilliant experience with Rowan tree Homes and the team! Quick and efficient in getting car charger fitted - talked me through how to work everything and also ensured my app was fully up and running and connected & set up smart charging times also.
This company is fantastic and very professional and provides very friendly fast and efficient service. Communication and after sales services just could not be better. Fully recommended.
Excellent from start to finish. I first contacted a large energy company for my install but after being messed about for weeks causing delays I contacted Les. It was a breeze from there no pressure selling just a price, clear communication and date booked and the added bonus of a more competitive price.
Absolute first class service from start to finish,quality of work, communication, advise and expanation of the work being done. Would recommend to anyone
Professional and friendly service from Les at Rowantree. We’re really pleased with our new batteries.
We are delighted with the service provided by Les and his team. From initial contact to post installation support, we have been exceptionally well looked after. Every question we had was answered in a clear and straightforward way, it is obvious that Les and his team have deep knowlege of this field. The physical installation, was quick, efficient and very tidy. After which Les took the time to walk us through the control app, to ensure we had the correct information. Great service, Highly recommended.
Rowantree Homes Ltd. We recently had a solar and battery installation by the company and we couldn’t be more pleased. Having had other quotes from both smaller companies and major energy suppliers some of which made our eyes water. The director Les came out to see our home and talk us through the process, he then sent a detailed quote, considerably below that of one of the energy suppliers, but at no point was there any hard sell. We decided to go ahead and Les was able to accommodate some additional electrical work that we requested. Les and his team arrived promptly when he said they would, did what they said they would without any fuss and the work was completed in two days ,which amazed us given the amount of work involved. Les provided the necessary documentation that made getting the system connected to our energy supplier easy. He monitored the system remotely and even came back to rectify a problem that we didn’t know we had. All round great service and workmanship, highly recommended.
Thank you to Les and the team from first making contact a car charger fitted with no problems 48 hours later , worked neat and tidy and delt with all my asks straight away would recommend Rowantree homes limited ,
this close to christmas i expected quite a long wait, but not at all spoke to les on the 23rd december he came out on christmas eve and diagnosed the fault. i needed parts that had to be ordered. they were fitted on the 29th and all working well now. i am very impressed with the speed and friendlness of it all. thank you
Extremely pleased with how the task of fixing a problem with my solar panel system went. Response was fast, accurate diagnosis carried out and all work required made clear before starting. Quote was competitive. Work carried out as specified with no issues other than problems with the roof identified when access to the solar panels was gained. this was added to the work (as an option at my request) and this was done on the day, again, at a very competitive cost. Quality of the work seems to have been excellent and carried out in a very professional way. Very satisfied customer.
I could not have wished for better service and decisive delivery and results. This company surpassed all expectations. I would recommend them to anyone with confidence that they will do everything to make sure you are satisfied. They are excellent. Brian Kelly East Bridgford Nottingham.
Solar panels cleaning. No nonsense, great job well done.
I'm delighted. Professional, friendly, patient with my questions and did what they said they'd do when they said they'd do it. From the survey through to the installation everyone was great. They arranged the documentation for a double battery and inverter system to save me more money and the planet more carbon dioxide. Wohoooo! Every day I look on the app and see how self sufficient we are. I couldn't be more happy.
The service from Rowantree Homes has been excellent. The battery installation was seamless and the ongoing support, specifically from Les, has been great. I would highly recommend Rowantree Homes.
Thank you. I am very happy with the job you did for me. Professional and friendly. I would recommend you to anyone.
Had rowantree homes fit my battery they where fantastic from start to finish can’t praise the know
after having a new Modem fitted [Broadband] the Lux power App stopped working! This was because the new modem had a new Wi-Fi Password! How to enter this newPassword into the Battery/Inverter software was anything but easy! It was made more difficult as I had to use a 'signal booster' to get the system to work in the first place. The broadband in my garage was very weak and the system didn't work without it. Les made two visits without success - as the software wanted a password for the uplink booster -which I didn't have. came back with an IT boffin - who sorted it out for him. Fantastic service from Les, not available with 'fit and fly' installers. I give Les fivestars. What a trooper. Les perseveredand ultimately
Great service and a pleasure to have Les in our home
Les has gone out of his way for us. He has always been professional in his dealings with us. When we had trouble after changing our router he gave us advice over the phone. When this didn’t work he came to sort it himself. I would recommend him wholeheartedly and I thank him for all the help he’s given us when fitting our solar panel batteries.
I have to say I am very impressed with Rowantree Homes. They completed the job very quickly and efficiently. I would certainly recommend the company.
Excellent Service. Arrived and fitted in one day. I was kept a breast of what was going on and provided clear explanations to any of my queries. Had the system for 10 months now and my direct debit for gas and electricity has been reduced from £240 to £160 per month. Absolutely no regrets.
Very good workmanship, polite, pleasant and completed all work as said.
A very professional job done by Les and his team. A very quick installation from receiving the quote to full installation. Les kept us informed all the way through with the paperwork handled very thoroughly. We would certainly recommend to anyone thinking of adding solar.
Excellent job, very good to deal with. Definitely recommend.
So so helpful. Explained everything well, came back promptly to deal with a slight glitch and got straight to it, great advice and made good decisions in our interest then charged exactly as expected, no quibbles. He even sorted out an unexpected insurance problem wich meant changing the goalposts at short notice. One of my favourite contractors.
Had an excellent experience with Les and the team, from start to finish I was pleased with the quality of product and professional manner with no question left un-answered.
Here is a man who knows what he is doing. Professional from survey to installation of replacement inverter. Competitive prices and friendly service, can’t praise them enough
Rowantree homes did some amazing work on my Solar panels, I thought they were working fine, but the panels were not generating electricity to fill the batteries, they also cleaned the panels and repaired the problem, Les as kept in touch to make sure everything is working as it should. I am so grateful for all is good work I would recommend to anyone requiring professional work on your Solar panels.
We have had great service. Rowantree installed a system on our 600 year old grade 1 listed church. Les supported us through the complicated process of getting the various permissions we needed and kept contact with us. The system had to be designed to work with shadows from stone pinnacles and access to our roof isn't easy. So it was a complex job, but the installation went smoothly and on time. And it all works. Highly recommended.
I can only say the service provided from start to finish was excellent. No question was left unanswered and we were confident that the product and installation would be first class. The installation team managed the battery installation in a professional manner and Leslie was on hand to assist with the setting up of the App. All in all a pleasant experience.
