“Just installing a couple of radiators. A job that should take no more than a couple of hours.. took 5 hours. Cost over £500 for something that should not have made it past £150 to £200.. nightmare.”

“-Bad customer support. -An appointment was cancelled by them last moment. -Expensive for generally poor service. The engineer was polite and looks like a smart guy. In my case he didn't fixed the problem and suggested to change the heating system from conventional to combi. I'm not an expert so I won't disagree. But changing the conventional boiler with a new conventional boiler is much cheaper and could be suggested also as an option.”

“Initial emergency work was good guess as I paid for it - Follow up free work required they cancelled on me 3 times then did it over the phone with me so I had to do the work for them following the engineers instruction. Oil the engineer was very good. Very poor follow up service when it’s free and not paid for - will be using another company next time.”

“The job was not attended to on the day it was scheduled. I was kept informed on the delays and had to rearrange for next week. So don't think its fair for me to rate them since am yet to see my job completed. I cant rate them anything higher than "Poor" because of these reasons.”

“Well, to be frank I am very disappointed. The plumber came to fix the toilet which was not flushing, which, he did fix. I asked him to check the other other toilet which also had problems flushing, he looked at the toilet and told me the handle is loose. He tightened the handle and the toilet worked for 2 days, now the system does not flush. It is worth saying that it took the plumber 20 minutes to fix the toilet and I was charged £118.80 if he fixed the other toilet I would have paid £ 138.80. Now if I request your service again I will pay another £118.80 which I do not think is fair. Kind regards, Richard Kennedy”

“The engineer provided a quote for us and our neighbour as we both had boiler issues at the same time. He made a hash of the quotes. To cut a long story short we ended up with 2-year warranty on our boiler instead of a 5-year warranty. When I signed off on the job it was on condition of a renegotiation of the price due to the warranty discrepancy. The company couldn't have cared less and charged us the full amount. *Sigh* - why don't boiler companies look after their customers? We will not go back to them next time.”

“I asked Plumbingforce to check a boiler for a gas check.I was told the call out price and the extra costs if further work was agreed and carried out. I was informed that the boiler and gas fire were unsafe to work on and needed replacement and that a new boiler would cost £4 - £5k. I get all that and understand that gas appliances go obsolete and too expensive to repair. My disappointment was that that they then charged me for 2 hours servicing a boiler that they said was unsafe to work on and later admitted that the engineer had actually been on site for 1 hour & 47 mins, doing what I am not sure. I later had the boiler replaced for £2400 by a n other plumber. I was fobbed off by numerous people at their office when I queried the charge and eventually they agreed to reimburse me half an hours time = £59. Had the second hour been refunded as I had asked I would have had no issue but to have to justify and question the abilities of an engineer, over a period of weeks, at a supposedly reputable company left a very sour taste”

“Called and was told that an engineer would be with me "Between 3 and 5pm" on Friday. 5pm came and went, so called to find out where the engineer was. "He has had a problem with a bad leak and cant make it until Monday" Sounds untruthful to me. probably just plain forgot to let the engineer know...... An enginner did turn up on Monday and did the job required. NOT overly impressed with the service as I had a wasted journey and a 40 mile round trip on Friday. Have you tried to navigate the M4 / M5 junction on a Friday evening? Nightmare..... Shan`t be recommending these people and certainly wont use them again.”

“They came out to fit a gas hob the man said that he needed to get a bit for the cooker and took his time he spent a lot of time on his mobile outside my house to his friends a job that should have took a hour took two because he was taking his time to make it go over the hour cost a lot of money .”

“As it wasn't an emergency, didn't mind he came late. Technician diagnosed correct problem and fixed it. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Labor charge was £240 for 100 minutes of work which I feel is excessively high. The diverter valve cost me £236. Afterwards I found the same valve locally at a cost of between £55 and £75. Would never use again unless I had money to burn.”

“The plumber himself was excellent. The fault lay with billing and subsequent contact. The invoice that was supplied was signed by both parties. But it seems that they then charged an extra amount for the time it took him to leave the house, as an extra £59 was taken from our credit card. On trying to speak to customer services the woman was rude and completely vile. She eventually conceded to return the extra debit, but shouted and behaved with very bad grace.”

“On January 10th I rang Plumbing Force as I had no hot water. They let me down on the time line coming the day after. I was charged £118.80 for a 20 minute visit. Most of that was chat !! The job was rushed and not checked.. When I rang later the same day I was told it would be another £118.80 I declined... No I would never recommend this company.”

“Booked an appointment for elderly mother who is 85 and had no heating at all in her living room they cancelled appointment said it would be following day and then cancelled again with no real explanation. I said it was an emergency as her age and no heating did'nt care about that at all. Will never use again and make sure all my friends and colleagues are aware of the poor service.”

“First visit, 2 hours late, £400 dint fix the problem and, crucially, dint tell me specific parts could have fixed it, just that it needed replacing. Took 3 hours to figure that out. Not the smartest engineer. Today, 1 hour late, came round and re-wrote the original quote. Place is an utter joke.”

“The plumber was prompt and did a great job, Thank you. however dealing with the office staff was a very different story. They were rude and abrupt and used threatening behaviour, as a result of this we as a national company will not be using there services again.”

“Phoned at the end of the agreed a.m. timeslot to say they might not be able to attend until the end of the day. No alternative engineer available. Arranged my day around them for nothing. Probably a genuine reason behind it but not a good experience from my viewpoint.”
