The engineer that come out was lovely. The two stars are for the engineer only, the company gets 0 stars. He was in and out in less than an hour. He left us with the invoice which shocked me once I had reviewed it. We were charged for 2 hours of an engineers time, plus VAT, plus parking.
I phoned the Angel Plumbing. I explained that the engineer was at our premises for 30-45 minutes therefore 1 hour and 15 minutes is unaccounted for. The owner of the company threatened to take us to court, had a very foul mouth and wanted to speak with the director because I'm just 'a silly bird sitting in an office'. I have never experienced anything like it. The call ended with him threatening to come to my office. I was shocked. He did phone back later to apologise, however I do not expect this type of behaviour from somebody that calls them self a professional.
The engineer kindly took his time to come back to our office and explain that although he was here for less than an hour, because the time it took for him to walk to and from his vehicle made the time go over 1 hour, meaning we was charge for 2 hours of his time, plus parking fees. This to me didn't make sense, I would have thought we would be charge 1 hour time plus parking. There is a car park across the road from us which he decided not to use for some reason. Should he have used the car park opposite, we would have been charged almost half the overall cost. read more
