“I have rarely in life experienced such a skilled and conscientious professional as James, the gentleman who came to fix our leak and ended up doing several other jobs for us too. He was exceptional. Plumbing force as a company however let themselves down with their admin - calling me to tell me that the plumber wasn’t able to get to us till the next day despite him arriving five minutes later, and then continuing to communicate with me using someone else’s name. So 11 out of 10 for the tradesman and 3 out of 10 for the admin department!”

“I initially had a good experience. A shower that was continuously flowing and would not turn off was turned off by good bloke sent by plumbing force withing the allotted 3Hr time frame. He stopped the water running and advised what to do next. However, when attempting to book a plumber for the second time the system failed miserably. Day 1 - was told someone would be with us between 9 and 1, didn't happen. No one called us to let us know so I called back and was told they'd have someone with us between 2 and 6pm, didn't happen. Again, no call to say they weren't going to make it. Called back and was told that they'd have someone here in the morning between 9 and 1. Day 2, guess what, no one showed up, no one called to say they weren't available. I called back and asked for immediate refund of deposit paid. If that isn't in my account soon I'll be straight back on here to let you all know! A terrible service, if you get a plumber on time I think that's just luck on the day not adequate planning by plumbing force. At those prices guaranteed appointment keeping should be delivered - they're not cheap!”

“I ‘booked’ online - actually it was simply a messaging service - no problem with that. On receiving no reply I ran in a couple if hours later to be told that my area - Stockport - was not covered and that the nearest plumber was two hours away. Still not a problem I assumed that I had misread the website. However, on checking, Plumbforce’s coverage map covers the whole of the north of England. And so I rang again to double check to be told that the map needed altering. Very unprofessional and wasted several hours of my time and making it more difficult for me to resolve the problem”

“Disappointing. Arranged for an emergency heating engineer appointment (4hr window). Waited. Got a call 4 hours later to tell me no one was available until the next day. What’s not clear about the word EMERGENCY?”

“Booked an engineer for next day by telephone. Took the day off work, and was told engineer over ran so rescheduled. This happened again the next day! so rescheduled again. Today is the 3rd day taken off work. Booked a first call first job 9-12 slot. I rang them at 9 to check if an engineer was coming, and was assured one was on the way. Plumbing force called me at 10:35 to say the engineer was held up on another job so I cancelled the request. So, if you want to lose 3 days wages, be lied to by successive telephone call handlers and be left in the cold, call this company; they're first rate atbeing absolutely useless! You're better off phoning plumbers/gasfitters direct, at least they'll tell you the truth.”

“As the previous person, I called to make an appointment, I told the lady on the phone my details, i also mentioned I am being treated for cancer and must get my boiler fixed, she told me the prices, booked me for that afternoon, then later on a man called to say they would not be there until the next day pm, He was very abrupt, to the extent I would say he was rude, he also came across as if he was pissed off with something ( maybe me ) I was told by him after he asked how much my quote was, when I told him, he said, "well that's not our emergency quote, that's the std charge", I said "how would i know if no one had said" I managed to get another firm to come out that afternoon, rang this company back, and cancelled. I will never use or promote this company. Christopher Peacher, Norfolk”

“I called them yesterday 9am. Was told next available slot was 10 till 2. Great. Booked it (boiler repair). In the afternoon they called to say they could not make it, would be 8 till 12 tomorrow. At 12 they rang to say it would be 2 till 6. I've just rang them to cancel it. They are totally unprofessional. The website says same day boiler repair, 1 to 3 hour response. Wish I'd read all the similar reviews before wasting my time with them. Cowboys”

“Phoned around midday on the coldest day of year was promised engineer by 6pm. Just before 6 they said could not make it. My gripe is why advertise 1 to 3 hour service if they cannot fulfill promises?”

“Do not touch this company. Boiler broke down, I arranged emergency call out for Saturday 12-4pm. They called 3.30pm to say "delayed" but would get to me by 6pm. They called 5.30pm to say they could not get to me that day, closed Sunday, re-arranged for Monday morning 9-11am. They called Monday 11am to say they would get to me by 3.30pm. They called 3.30pm to say they wouldn't be able to get to me until Tuesday. I then cancelled in despair.”

“Very bizarre company - avoid!! My boiler stopped working this morning. I phoned and was said they could send someone this afternoon by 4pm. At 4pm I got a call to say they actually couldn't get anyone to me today. By this point I'd read a lot of reviews citing the same experience so decided not to bother rebooking for another day. I am not sure this is even a genuine company. Their website has some basic grammatical errors (always a red flag for something a bit dodgy), and they wanted to take card details over the phone to secure the booking. Also every time I went to the website home page, the contact phone number changed - very odd. In short, avoid these people and find a reputable local tradesperson even if that means waiting a few days.”

“Awful. Despite an inflated fee compared to a competitor I agreed for them to come and repair my faulty boiler as they said they could do same day before 3pm (competitor said after 3pm) 3pm came and no engineer. I called twice and spoke to 2 rude staff who clearly didn’t give a toss, despite it being the coldest day of the year and I’ve a 4 and 2 year old to be told they couldn’t guarantee a visit. Appalling. I will be checking bank statement to ensure they’ve not taken the staggering £120. Utterly appalled they get away with this.”

“Booked appt for Saturday AM. Told plumber running late then told he can’t make it. After visit the shower was still faulty. The landlord arranged a visit to fix the problem and without my consent they took the fee from my credit card. I call this theft! The shower is still faulty!”
