Gallant Building Services - Recovering Your Lost Investment

If you invested in Gallant Building Services and are now facing losses, you may still have a chance to recover your money. At Refundee, we’re speaking with affected investors to assess potential claims against banks and if required, escalate cases to the Financial Ombudsman Service.

What Was Gallant Building Services?

Gallant Building Services Ltd was a UK construction firm specialising in electrical installations for hospitality, retail, and healthcare projects. Their services included:

• CCTV systems
• Data cabling
• Lighting solutions
• Air conditioning installations

To fund their expansion, the company invited people to invest via short term business loans, promoted as ‘safe opportunities with attractive returns’.

Administration Update

In September 2024, Gallant Building Services entered administration after failing to repay investors. This left many people uncertain about whether their money is gone for good - and what steps, if any, they can take to recover it.

Could You Claim a Refund?

Even if you approved and transferred money to Gallant Building Services, that doesn’t mean your losses are gone for good. Under UK banking rules, you may still be entitled to a refund.

If your bank is signed up to the Contingent Reimbursement Model (CRM) Code, you could be eligible if:

• The payment was made from your UK bank account after 28 May 2019
• The money was sent to another UK bank account

See our list of banks signed up to the CRM Code to check if yours is included.

You may also qualify under the Mandatory Reimbursement Scheme (MRS) if:

• The payment was made after 7 October 2024
• The money was sent to another UK bank account

It’s worth knowing, we’ve seen many cases succeed even after banks initially told customers there was nothing more they could do.

How Refundee Helps Investors Get Their Lost Money Back

You always have the right to submit a claim to your bank yourself, at no cost. But for many people, navigating the process is daunting - and that’s where we come in.

When you work with Refundee, you’ll receive:

• Expert investigation - we dig into your case to see if you’re eligible.
• Tailored case prep - we put together the strongest possible refund claim.
• End to end support - we manage everything with your bank and the Ombudsman, so you don’t have to.

Our fees are transparent and among the lowest in the industry. We operate on a no win, no fee basis - so you won’t pay a penny unless we succeed.

Why Group Claims Are Stronger

When multiple people lose money through the same company, combining evidence can significantly strengthen every case. Banks and regulators are more likely to respond when they see consistent patterns across several claims. By coming forward, you don’t just improve your own chances - you help others too.

What to Expect from the Process

• Timeframe: Most cases take 6 to 12 months, but this can vary.
• Support: We keep you updated at every step, so you’re never left chasing up on progress.
• Outcomes: Many investors in similar cases have recovered funds, even after initial bank rejections.
