The problem was fixed the same day, and everything is working perfectly now. Very reliable and professional service.

    We have a small 15 inch drain outside the kitchen for a rental property, that was blocked…read more Organising the booking was fine and thinking that its a small job and shouldn't take more than 30 minutes to clear with a High Pressure Water Jet for which they charge £75 per half hour. Their service engineer got to our premises by about 10.00am and spent the next 30 minutes looking for an outdoor water supply to refill his machine, since his machine had run out of water. He eventually had to connect to the kitchen sink supply and then asked how long does he think it might take to clear the drain and he said about 30 minutes. I confirmed what the charges will be. He said £150 plus the VAT for the complete job. I was not happy about this, since he had already spent 30 minutes looking for the supply! Wanting to just get the job done, I reluctantly agreed. I had to go onto a meeting and left him with the tenant in the flat. I specifically told the engineer to call me for the payment after he completed the job and I expect that's what you would do under normal circumstances...ask for the payment for the job from the person who made the booking. I received a call from their office at 11.01am saying that job had over run by 30 minutes, so it's going to be £150 plus the VAT. I responded saying that's fine. I was expecting him to ask for my card number, but he put the phone down. I waited for a call back, but nothing. I called the tenant after the meeting which finished at 1pm, to see what was going on. The tenant to my shock and disbelief informed me that he had to pay £360.00 by his card. I asked him why did he pay, when I specifically asked the engineer in front of him to call me for the payment, once the job had been done. This tenant struggles to speak and understand English, so I'm not sure how and why he had to pay. Anyway, I think I should have only be charged £150+ VAT for the job, but was charged double.

    Very good service! They are pricey, but they are doing an excellent work…read more I had a problem with the boiler (there was no hot water) and the engineer promptly fixed it on a Sunday morning. He also explained the cause for some other heating related issues in my apartment which was very helpful. Also when calling them to visit my flat I didn't have to listen to music and/or speak to a robot for XX minutes before talking to a human. I immediately spoke to an operator which was great because I hate wasting my time waiting on the phone.

    A Running Scam -- A Criminal Scheme of Alarming Scale! It's…read morehard to believe this so-called business is still operating unchecked. For years, it has posed as one of Britain's top plumbing companies while repeatedly defrauding customers. I wish I had read the many negative reviews from others who were scammed just like me. The company displays a distinctive pattern. We called them to replace a simple plastic bath mixer- an attachment -- a very basic fixture that any professional plumber should carry or quickly source. During the initial call, and after paying £156 in advance, for the first hour, I offered to send a photo of the required part. They refused. That should have been the first red flag. Their tactic is simple: arrive, declare they don't have the part, suggest a quick trip to a local DIY shop that predictably doesn't stock it, then "go to Argos" -- consuming most of the paid hour. The plumber never returns but instead sends a follow-up report, suggesting another visit the next day for an additional £200 to "complete the job." In reality, the part is standard -- any competent plumber should either carry it or be able to collect it easily from their office stock. Instead, the company pockets £156 for doing virtually nothing. For reference, they quoted £360 to install a basic shower mixer onto bathtub taps -- a task that's usually straightforward and should not require such inflated costs or deceptive practices. This operation has exploited customers this way for years, as proven by numerous similar online complaints. Avoid these fraudsters and report their scam to Citizens Advice, who can escalate the matter to Trading Standards for investigation.
