Cowley Estate Management Board 2002-2004
Cowley EMB carries out repairs and maintenance with its own multi-traders and gas engineers. We have been for the last 3 years, the top performing TMO in the Borough Lambeth. To maintain these standards we expect nothing less than the highest quality service delivery from any external contractors. We have in the past had associations with almost every contracting company in the borough either by them working on Cowley or our staff having worked for them. None of them were able to maintain a consistent, professional, quality service and I would not recommend any of them for these reasons. Hennessy’s came highly recommended and after checking references we have now used them for over a year. During this time they have carried out numerous work on Cowley Estate both large and small, from helping on repairs to carrying out a £117,500 roof refurbishment. I rarely write references unless I am completely satisfied with the overall service quality that I receive. Hennessy’s have excelled not only in the workmanship but also in the professional manner they carried out these works. On the recently completed roof refurbishment the level of planning, customer liaison and interaction/co-operation with Cowley staff meant we experienced no problems, no complaints and minimal disruption on site.

We have been using the above company for six months to date. We can say that during this time we have found all employees to be very pleasant and helpful.

Stockwell Park Estate Community Trust Ltd 2000-2008
I have known Mr B Hennessy and Mr M Hennessy for approximately 20 years in a professional capacity. I would inform you that I have had no complaints or problems with regard to the standard of work or completing their jobs on schedule. During this time you can imagine Hennessy’s have carried out thousands of pounds of work of which there are no complaints about. Stockwell Park EMB will continue to use their service until 1st April 2001 at which point they will become the main contractor for the estate in respect of repair and external decs. Throughout my association with Hennessy’s I have always found them to be reliable and honest – very hard to find these days. They have implemented a Health & Safety plan and cover for insurance which is current. They will shortly be on constructionline. I would close by stating that they are financially sound, a key factor when deciding that they should be the main contractor for the Stockwell Park Estate.

Background information regarding Mr Brendan Hennessy and Mr Mark Hennessy. They have worked for FMCS Kier Group since 1997 as directors of Hennessy Ltd. The works undertaken by Hennessy Ltd take a high level of personal involvement from Brendan and Mark. This also means that I place a great deal of trust in the ability of Hennessy Ltd and its management. I have personally known Brendan since 1990 and he has worked on various other contracts run by me in the past. I have personally known Mark since 1996 prior to him working for FMCS Kier Group. I believe both Brendan and Mark to be honest hardworking individuals who have a very good future with Hennessy Ltd.

Carol & Sinclair Innes – Hawley, Kent - 2008
We just wanted to send a short note to express our thanks for the work that you recently carried out on our house. We have been impressed with you and your company from the outset of our project which started with an estimate that proved to be completely correct both in terms of project duration and cost. As with most jobs, there were changes and additions required and you responded quickly and efficiently, proving good service and guidance when required. We found all the people we dealt with, including your sub-contractors, to be courteous and helpful, which made the whole stressful business of living in a ‘building site’ just a bit easier to bear. We are completely delighted with our finished extension, the quality of the finishes very good indeed, and it has definitely improved our way of life in the home. We would have no hesitation in recommending your company to prospective clients. Thank you again.

Mrs – Dulwich November 1984-2008
Re: Hennessy Ltd, Wycombe House, Hockenden Lane, Swanley, Kent BR8 7QH.
We have been customers of Hennessy Ltd for over twenty years. In that time they completely refurbished two houses for us as well as providing routine maintenance. We have found them to provide an extremely high standard of work and to come in on time and, importantly, on budget.
Our most recent house refurbishment (address as above) was in 2004. Hennessy Ltd carried out major works to the property. Externally, the property was reroofed, positions of some windows and doors relocated, new drains installed and a large single floor extension was built on the rear of the property making it necessary to excavate some 10 metres into a sloping garden and ensure the remainder of the garden was well retained. Internally, the property was completed rewired and replumbed with central heating installed. New bathrooms and kitchen were installed and all original sash widows were refurbished. The property was completely redecorated both externally and internally. Hennessy Ltd oversaw all works as well as liaising with our local building control and with our structural engineer. The work was out carried out to very high standard and was completed on time and to budget.
Hennessy Ltd is a pleasure to work with. They are readably available should there been any problems and we have found their staff to be extremely considerate and polite. Their skills and experience ensure quality workmanship. We will continue to use them and would not hesitate to recommend them.
