In 2018, a couple created signs warning potential neighbours against buying homes in their Newquay estate, citing multiple faults which Persimmon had, as of 19 July 2018, failed to correct, including patio doors which did not close properly, protruding nails, and damp and mould resulting from poor plumbing. A mantelpiece had previously fallen at another Persimmon Home but was treated as a "one-off" incident. Persimmon, which sub-contracted company KD Childs to fit the fireplaces, had not checked the standards and had never received documents about how fireplaces were fitted. In 2008, a boy was killed by a falling mantelpiece. Examples include wiring up sockets dangerously giving the potential to shock, installing wobbly bannisters, laying turf on builder's rubble rather than on newly laid soil and radiators being not properly fixed to the wall. Persimmon has regularly been criticised for the poor build quality of some of its homes. It builds homes under the Persimmon Homes, Charles Church and Westbury Partnerships brands. Operations ĭriveway entrance to the offices of Persimmon plc in York In January 2006, Persimmon acquired Westbury, another listed UK house builder, for a total consideration of £643 million. The acquisition of Beazer brought with it Charles Church, an upmarket housing business founded by Charles and Susanna Church in 1965. However, Taylor Woodrow stepped in with a £556 million bid for Bryant, and Persimmon bought Beazer, a company named after its founder Brian Beazer, and originally started in Bath. The deal came about after Beazer and Bryant announced a 'merger of equals' to create a new house builder called Domus. In 2001, Persimmon acquired Beazer Homes UK, for £612m, taking output to over 12,000 a year. This was followed by the purchase of the Scottish housing business of John Laing plc and Tilbury Douglas Homes. Ideal Homes, once the largest housebuilder in the country and then part of Trafalgar House was bought for £176m giving the Group a much stronger presence in the south-east.
