GBAvoid, avoid, avoid The happiest day of my life occurred on 27th September 2022 when I finally completed the sale fo my 50% share in a JJH house. We lived in it for almost 10 years and during that time, despite paying a monthly service charge of over £50, and never being behind in our rent, they have done absolutely nothing. We had to plead with them to clear the gutters which, because our property backed onto a wooded area, filled with leaves on a regular basis throughout summer and Autumn. Eventually I told them they would have to pay for any damage done to my property in the garden, and in the house as a result of damp, and they finally sent someone up to clear them. They were supposed to spray the drive annually with weedkiller. By the time they got to our house the mixture was so weak it was totally ineffective so my husband used to do it properly. The staff turnover is enough to tell you how bad this company is. They never get back to you if you phone, and the cheek of having a recorded mesage boasting about their "excellent customer service" is just a joke. If you can find an alternative to JJH just go for it, but avoid this company if you can.

GBI have been a resident at Sealand House… I have been a resident at Sealand House in Prestwich since January 2015, when l came here it was a nice, clean place to live. Since Yvonne Castle took over as C.E.O. the standards have gone down hil then along came Fortem, we had our cleaning hours cut back and the standard is not as good as we had before, some areas are getting cleaned may be once a month sometimes every two months, where as before all areas were cleaned twice a week. We had our window cleaning service reduced with some windows on the outside not cleaned for over two years and the sevice has still not improved, the previous window cleaners cleaned all the outside and all the inside communal areas. We had a handy man who came every Monday, washed out the refuse bins when emptied, cleaned th bin rooms, washed the outside light fittings, swept the pathways and cleaned the recycle bin area, although we are still paying for the five hours each Monday we have had five hours of the handy man in over two years. Each year our charges have gone up yet the service jhas not improved all jj housing can say is things are getting better, I reported the situation to the Housing Ombudsman qwho have upheld my complaint.

GBJohnnie Johnson...notoriously the worst H.A. in Manchester if not the northwest!!! If i could give no stars, i would. So far, my elderly mum has been continuously let down at every given opportunity and has been sheer hell for her ever since she moved in over two years ago. She has a very important appt tmw with managers and staff regarding what can be done for her. Lets see what happens...this time! Update coming soon.

GBJJH astra Line a disater. Last night Friday the 28th October the fire alarm went of at approx 20.30, the fire brigade attended, no damage done, but they could not reset the fire alarm?? They contacted Astra Line (who are a total waste of time, there response time on calls is not acceptable) they could not give the fire brigade a code to reset the fire alarm, they said they could wait any longer and left. I tried to contact Astra Line who answered my call after approx 5 minutes. They said a engineer was on there way but could not give a time. A electrician from FORTEM came about 22.00 but could do nothing, again contacted Astra Line and said another engineer was on there way, but again could not give a time. Finally the fire alarm was switched of this morning the 29th at approx 03.30 that is 7 hours of constant noise.(This is not acceptable) Also when the fire alarm went of 2 fire doors did not close?? At this moment in time JJH leave a lot to be desired. Our ILC is of sick at the moment,as I said before Astra Line want to get there act together, when you pull your cord in your flat and takes up to 10 minutes to answer if you were ill you could be died before they answer. JJH Please get your act together we pay a high service charge, and get nothing for it.
