The maintenance team at West Point are by far the best perk of living here. Had a day off work, so decided to address all of my day-to-day jobs. The team responded to my repair request in under an hour and carried out all repairs immediately. They were chatty and sorted the situation out efficiently. This has made my day infinitely better, and it would be hard to get a better maintenance service in comparison to other ones I’ve had.
