I asked for a plumber to fix my leaking pipe, and repressurise my boiler. The engineer was late, and not gas safe corgi registered. He was there 20 minutes placed 2 plastic pieces to fix my pipe. He touched my boiler controls and I was left with no heating or hot water. The engineer said I had to call my boiler company to fix. Disgraceful, Do not ring this cowboy company for works.

I asked for a plumber on Ratedpeople to contact me regarding a boiler service and our toilet not flushing. First company to contact me stating the first 1/2 is £80 and their jobs don’t normally take more than 1/2 hour. Basically 2 hours later, it cost us £663.00 after receiving the invoice via a text message, £223.00 for parts and £330 labour, £82.50 for the 1/2 hour oh! and don’t forget the VAT total being £663.00. Never again!!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬

Didn’t turn up the first time and called 2hrs later to say the wouldn’t make it. Told me I’d get returning customer rates for them to come out the following week. I did say after 3pm and he phoned before midday wanting to come. I said after 1.30 and he turned up at 1pm telling me he’d been sat in Tesco car park for 45 mins. Not my problem. Bloke got me to sign something when he arrived. After 17 minutes told me he didn’t know what it was and there was nothing he could do. The office rang him after 20 mins to give him his next job so he left. Oh, he did tell me he could smash the toilet apart but as he clearly didn’t know what for and he didn’t know if it would help I said no. The office then called wanting £150. It wasn’t booked or advertised under this company name so I would not trust them at all. The ‘plumber’ spent most of the 17 mins telling me about other jobs he’d done and talking about my floating shelf! Do not trust this company.

Said no call out charge and over 90% of cases are fixed within that hour. Charged me £198 for 5 minutes visit to say a leaky valve need replacing, it would take 5-6 hours to do the job at hourly rate of £198. Showed the valve to a different plumber quoted £100 to replace it , 12-14 times cheaper than this company. Don’t be fooled by no call out charge. As soon as they arrive they ask you to sign a consent that you want them to start investigating the problem and there goes the first £198.

Practically robbed my elderly Mother making her pay money up front for materials and not providing a quotation at all for labour! Then taking 6 hrs or so for a couple of minor jobs. Grand total almost 1000 pounds for a new tap and 3 minor toilet cistern drips. Disgraceful company who are listed at companies house as a call center, with over half a million in cash sat in the bank in 2023 robbed from vulnerable customers.

Charged £200 to confirm a toilet was blocked and the cistern leaking. However did not fix it. Quote for work £1500 including vat. We got a 2nd quote of £280 from another plumber for the same problem.

They have taken £711.60 from my bank without informing me and for no reason. I don’t know what I’m going to do 😞 I’m 75 and cannot afford it. Don’t know what to do next.
