Absolute nightmare

Absolute nightmare, Michael the plumber, or drainage expert attended my place last week to fix a drainage problem at my place with the hourly rate + VAT, only to make things worse. With his very brief visit (half an hour), not only the problem of drainage did not solve, there is now overflowing at my place when I turn on my washing machine.

DO NOT USE THEM

DO NOT USE. THEIR SERVICE IS A JOKE.

I had an electrician booked for Monday 4th, and took a day off from work for it. On Friday 1st, they call me to reschedule. I begrudgingly accept to move the appointment to Monday 11th morning (8am to 1pm).

Today (Monday 11th) at 11:30am, I still haven't heard from them. I call their office, and they say that the electrician had to cancel the appointment, and that he should have called me. WELL, HE DIDN'T. Isn't that what HandyExperts is for? Booking appointments? What do we even pay them for?

Anyways, after complaining that I had to waste a 2nd day off work, they tell me that they'll find someone to come in the afternoon (2 to 5pm).

The electrician finally came at 3pm, but then he told me that he didn't have the cable needed to do the job, so he'll have to come back another day.

I'll find someone else who doesn't waste my time, and so should you.

they lie about assessment being free on site. If you talk to them they say the visit is chargeable meaning whether they do the job or not

they also only do jobs by the hour meaning they overcharge by prolonging the job unnecessarily. If they are profesionals they can estimate the time required and give a fixed quote

you'll waste your time with them if money is a concern

Good afternoon,

We are sorry that you were confused by the wording on our website. While we are happy to offer free quotes for the sort of work such a thing is appropriate for, a new boiler installation for example or the renovating of a bathroom, for a tradesperson to travel across London to diagnose a minor heating issue or leaking tap for free would be the behaviour of a charity rather than anything approaching a reasonable business model. If that is not obvious then please suggest how the wording on our website could be changed, to save anyone wasting their time.

Your second point however is simply not true. We do charge by the hour for simple jobs, with any materials used being charged in addition of course, but any work that can be expected to take longer will be assessed and a no obligation, fixed price quote provided. That quote would be open to discussion, there being no sense in starting any work where either the customer or tradesperson is unhappy with the situation.

Had your review of our services, which you have not actually used, been clearer then we may have been able to identify and reach out to you in order to see if we could have come to a mutually agreeable solution. But such is the way of online anonymity.

Should you wish to discuss any matters please call us on 0330 912 2323 as we may still be able to help you.

Best wishes,

The HandyExperts Team

Friendly, Skilled and Diligent

I am a disabled person and required support with an unusual electrics tasks, Richard the Electrician that Handy Experts sent was brilliant, friendly, knowledgeable and persistent. He came back multiple times to get the task completed in exactly the way I needed it and it was far from straightforward. I really appreciated the persistence, skill and care he applied to the job. Handy Experts communicated clearly and quickly.
