Whiteley Shopping centre.
Whiteley village shopping centre one of your company vehicles went the wrong way round the roundabout into the car park ! Near miss to several cars who are correctly using the roundabout.
If they drive like they plumb, I’d stay away !

Poor Experience
This is about the quality of Metro Plumb Head Office.
Absolutely appalling. They boast on their hold music fully insured, total piece of mind. Nothing could be further from the truth.
I have had work done at the property, having found defects, they won’t acknowledge responsibility, they will claim to have done a thorough investigation and when challenged with evidence that proves they are wrong, they fall silent.
Though they may have some happy customers, I am certainly not one of them and cannot recommend this service company to anyone.

My Home emergency insurers appointed Metro Plumb ( Metro Rod ) as result of a leak, their plumber attended inspected the bath then proceeded to jump on it to see if the seal was loose, he replaced the silicone seal behind a fixed shower screen over the bath. It was discovered the bath had been cracked by him. Reported, the investigating director at Metro Plumb said the plumber had not and had no need to go into the bath. He lied. Earlier job report had confirmed the plumber had re silicone the bath
Disgraceful that a main board director should lie.

Never had any work done by this company…
Never had any work done by this company and nor will I. I think you can tell a substantial amount about a company from how courteous and respectful their drivers are driving around in the company’s marked vehicles.
So the driver of vehicle, H25 SJT who cut me up yesterday in Radcliffe on Trent to get one vehicle in front of me at the traffic lights and then proceeded to tail gate other drivers hang your head in shame. We all like to get home as quickly as possible, which I presume that you were doing, however the way you drive I suspect that one day you won’t get home at all, or you’ll wipe some unfortunate person out. If you want to drive like a lunatic and bully people then I suggest you drive around in a plain van and stop dragging your company down. I can assure you that it doesn’t matter how good you are when potential customers see someone driving like you did they will stay well away from you.

Overall I had a good experience
Overall I had a good experience, took a little longer then they expected it to take. But the plumber was friendly and did the job
A dreadful and disgusting experience…
A dreadful and disgusting experience with this company and I cannot stress enough that people stay well away from them.
I had a water pipe leak under my patio, they arrived and dug, not very deep and informed me that they'd need to acquire a permit to dig outside of my boundary, employ surveyors to brace my garden wall and run a new line from the Northumbria Water stopcock.
They left me without water supply to the property and told me how to turn the stopcock outside in the street so i could temporarily have water for 10 minutes, telling me it would take 28 days to get a permit from the council to dig.
At this point if they had just investigated a little further they would have seen that the pipe that had the leak was an un-needed off-shoot which just needed to be capped off. But, instead, they told me that the leak was in three places, which was a lie, because the additional two leaks were caused by their digging with freshly made spade marks on the aforementioned pipe.
They had no clue of the direction of the actual line into my house.
They then estimated me in excess of £10,000 to fix the leak. I naturally called a halt to the process and they charged me £1765.30 for under 5 hours of labour and permits to dig on my own property.
So, in a nutshell, they charged me £1765.30 to dig a small area, further puncture the pipe in question and do their utmost to rip me off.
Another firm arrived and capped the pipe and solved the leak for £500
Please be very wary of this outfit, and the extortion they practice.

The worst ever experience with them
The worst ever experience with them. They lumbered me for more than one month. No empathy to my situation, no communication and kept on ordering wrong material. The guy did not disconnect the power supply to my tank and just cut off the water supply. The whole system got ruined and still after a month did not turn up and fixed it. Do not recommend to any body. No trust.

Water leak
I needed a plumber quite quickly due to a leak in my kitchen. Craig came out the next day to see me with his apprentice. He found the source of the problem the problem and resolved it. Despite there being long term damage he explained everything clearly and pointed me in the right direction to other services that may be needed. All in all really happy with the service, would highly recommend.

Metro plumb - 2 stars..
I have a gravity feed system boiler, whereby I have low water pressure, I believe salamander make a pump specifically for a gravity fed system, salamander provide metro plumb as a provider for their pump, I contacted metro plumb and asked if they can sell and fit a salamander pump for a gravity fed system, they said yes however we will have to do a call out to see what piping needs changing so we can quote correctly according to the work needed, this will be at a cost of £50, highlighting I don’t need to worry about the £50 as it will be deducted from the total price of the pump, however the £50 is to cover the cost of the engineer coming on site, I gave the go ahead and they said an engineer would call us back, there was no call back, we followed up and had to pay the £50, an engineer came out and suggested we fit a new combi boiler as this gravity fed system is old. My wife also queried plumbing a pipe into the garage, They provided a quote for the plumbing into the garage, and did not quote on the whole purpose that I had requested them for, I emailed asking if they can please provide a quote for the salamander, I received an email saying due to the age of the system they can not risk fitting such a pump to this system. when I initially contacted them, they were informed of the system type and age, I consider this unreasonable, knowing the system is 40 years old and then charging for engineer to come say they can’t quote, when they could have just said they won’t quote on that in the first place if they won’t fit a pump to an old system.
I have used Metro Plumb Nottingham/Lincoln
I have used Metro Plumb Nottingham/Lincoln a number of times for our property maintenance and have received incredibly service. There has always been a quick turnaround from me calling to an engineer being on site and I'm always kept in the loop with what was needed to fix the issues. Harry and his team are brilliant!

Excellent communication from the receptionist keeping us posted re arrival time. Anton, the, plumber carried out a full investigation, identified the problem very quickly indeed, explaining everything to us throughout. He was professional, experienced and explained to us in a way we could understand. We are very satisfied with Anton , Metro Plumbing and wouldn't hesitate to contact them again and will most certainly recommend them to friends and neighbours. Many thanks.
Basically Rude
My insurance called them under Emergency Cover and wouldn't come out on the first day. On the second day they cancelled the call because they said I was abusive when I spoke to the plumber, which I wasn't.
Just tried to complain to the company about the plumber to which they said it was subjective about who was abusive or not and they then started getting abusive and so I put the phone down.
