GBWe moved into our new Sigma home nearly… We moved into our new Sigma home nearly a year ago and it has been one of the worst experiences of my life. Despite a five-month delay the house was by no means completed. The standard of workmanship, particularly carpentry was rough and slipshod. The site manager admitted that a lot of work remained to be done and that the house had not been finished to an acceptable standard. Some of the more straightforward faults and omissions were addressed by the site manager in the short time that work was still ongoing on the site Unfortunately much remained to be done, some jobs could not be tackled until more fundamental problems had been resolved. Sigma's lack of organisation meant that tradesmen had wasted journeys and made the whole process more stressful, time consuming and inconvenient. Our house did not get finished to a proper standard. The workmanship was in some cases no better the second time. Pieces of wood were patched into skirting boards and painted over. Efforts were made to improve the appearance of this work but the joins are still obvious. Issues were certainly addressed but in some cases the manner in which they addressed was far from satisfactory. I understand that Sigma had problems finding tradesmen when our house was being built and I know that some of the earlier houses in the development were finished to a higher standard but our new Sigma home has been a dreadful disappointment

GBBuild quality poor. Customer service poor I have had a recurring issue with mould in my new build property (as has a neighbour on my development) since purchasing in 2020. Sigma homes have paid lip-service to rectifying the issue, but in general lack expertise to deal with issue. I am now having to make a formal complaint, and am seeking an independent to fix the problem which seems to result from a lack of quality control when laying the roof. On top of this, I have had the front of the property dug up as Sigma incorrectly laid the drains. The customer service team lack insight and are totally unhelpful. In general, I think this is a company that build houses with a top quality finish but fail to pay attention to basic details behind the scenes. My neighbours have had issues with electrics, plumbing, heating as well as basic things like ventilation. Would not recommend purchasing from this builder. Expect better when purchasing from a top-end builder.

GBConcerned that my property is crumbling after 16 months due to the weather The mortar on our front path has begun to crumble within 16 months of us living here. Sigma asked the groundworkers who laid it to check the quality of the mortar and they said it was not defective. Sigma concluded "this will have only been caused by the weather and so this is not a defect". With that verdict, Sigma will not fix it under our two year warranty. Well laid patio pointing should last a decade. Sigma claim to put an "emphasis on quality" and a "commitment to customer satisfaction" but that does not match my experience. Now I'm worried what other parts of my property will crumble and fall apart due to "the weather".

GBWe are thinking of buying a Sigma Home… We are thinking of buying a Sigma Home in Cuckfield and popped down to see their existing show home in Angmering. Although the house types are very different, it was really useful to see the quality of their spec and speak to their Sales Manager, katie who was very helpful. We shall definitely visit Hanlye View with further interest.
