Now well over a month since engineer John answered my
booking on the 17/12/21. And ample time to confirm my
boiler itself, as having no real problems. And paid £144 for
relatively nothing. And as a vulnerable couple in our mid
80s we could ill afford. Now the issues in my review:-
*John arrived at 6pm when already dark. I pointed out this
was no time to call, for non emergencies, on vulnerable
customers - most of whom would not answer the door. He
did offer to leave.
But, I reluctantly allowed him to continue - Big costly m
mistake !
* He even had to use his own light source.
* Removed the boiler cowling.
* Spent some time checking the flue outside with comments.
* Pointed out that there was a pinhole and slight leak from
the fan housing which I could not see as it was so faint.
* Proceeded to condemn the boiler outright. While pointing
out a bit of rust on the cowling. While asking if I wanted to
keep it on, which, being unconvinced of the fault, and our
vulnerable situation, I said I would.
* The boiler continued to work on and off, which it had been
doing for a long time anyway. And which prompted me to
call on Pimlico Plumbers in the first place to fix.
* It was not fixed.
* Called a local recommended engineer (should have done -
had I known of him - in the first place)
* He diagnosed the problem was not the boiler but the
timer/controller/cylinder water temperature thermostat.
Which were sending false signals to the boiler. Hence the
erratic boiler function.
* He showed me how to manage the situation via the
water temperature thermostat while he locates a
replacement unit. Which will be arranged for a date after
Christmas. I was not charged a penny for this kind
assistance and time.
* John did not refer to anything else other than the boiler.
So missing the real reason for the erratic working of it.
* At the present time I am managing quite well.
* In conclusion, with my experience, of P.P. is that I was
virtually robbed of most of £144, as having not received any
service with a satisfactory result.
* While promised I would receive an email with the price of
what it would cost for a replacement fan. EVEN THIS
NEVER MATERIALISED. (in retrospect it was just as well as
a rough estimate would have been in the hundreds).
But having no message, what does that tell us !
* As a consequence, I certainly would not recommend
Pimlico Plumbers, as, excessively expensive, with poor
service, in my case, to boot.
