The engineer arrived right on time and nothing was too much trouble, including an immediate trip through rush hour traffic to the supplier to get the required part. The part was installed and working in a short space of time.

Issues after yearly service
The engineers were polite and professional. The booking process was fast and simple. The boiler was serviced by Solv in mid September with a clean bill of health. The next day the boiler started to make deep loud rumbling sounds but continued to work. A further two visits by Solv engineers costing a total of over £140 did not resolve the issue. The boiler now only works intermittently and is due to be looked at shortly by an Ideal engineer.

Thank you Paul for taking the time to share your experience, we’re sorry to hear about the issues you've encountered with your boiler.
Upon reviewing the details of your case, it appears that during the initial service in September, our engineer performed safety checks, serviced the boiler, and conducted tests, all of which showed no apparent issues. It was only in November, two months later, that we received a breakdown booking via our online booking system, reporting intermittent rumbling sounds. As the engineer had left the boiler serviced in good working order back in September, we were unable to class this as continuation of a job so it was charged as a breakdown.
At the initial breakdown visit in November, our engineer, despite finding the boiler operational and not making any noise at that time, took proactive steps, including cleaning the gas injector. Recognising the report of persistence of intermittent noise from yourself, the engineer then suggested a potential gas valve replacement if the noise was to continue.
We were then contacted a subsequent time a week later reporting ongoing noise, this was then charged with continuation time to cover our engineer attending your property to investigate which they did, checking the gas valve, cleaning the venturi, and performing a thorough examination. Unfortunately, the cause of the noise remained elusive during this inspection, the engineer then proposed the warranty call. It's worth mentioning that the warranty call was facilitated as the boiler is still within its warranty period, allowing for a comprehensive examination of the situation.
We understand your frustration and are committed to resolving the issue to your satisfaction. Sometimes, faults necessitate manufacturer checks. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we wait to hear the feedback of an Ideal engineer during the upcoming visit. If you have further concerns in the meantime, please reach out to our customer service team.
Warm regards,
solv

Booking the service was very straightforward. This aspect gets 10/10.
I was contacted on the morning of the service to confirm the booking and also that engineer was en route. This aspect was great.
Engineer arrived on time. Again 10/10. He was friendly.
There was only one aspect. It was a bit unnerving but of no lasting significance. I am not detailing this but if the company wishes to enquire I am happy to relate.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent boiler service appointment. We greatly appreciate your kind words about our booking process, punctuality, and the friendly demeanour of our technician. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we are pleased to have met your expectations in those areas.
You mentioned that you found one aspect of the service a bit unnerving, and we appreciate your willingness to provide further details if needed. Based on what we understand happened, we believe it might be related to the timing and charges associated with the service exceeding the standard 1.5-hour duration. We want to assure you that transparency and clarity in our services are essential to us.
Our pricing structure is based on the assumption that a standard boiler service can be completed within 1.5 hours. However, we do acknowledge that unforeseen complications or poorly conditioned appliances may occasionally require more time. In such cases, our technician should always inform you of the situation and discuss potential additional charges, ensuring that you are fully aware of any cost implications before proceeding. If you were not informed, we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience you may have experienced. The potential of additional costs under Fixed Price Work was documented within our T&Cs, however to make this process even more transparent, we have now included this information as a caveat in our online booking form, ensuring that all customers are informed of the possibility of additional charges should they arise.
Your safety and satisfaction remain our primary concern, and our team is committed to maintaining your boiler's peak performance. We value your trust in our expertise and will continuously work to improve our services to better meet your needs.
If you choose to share more details about the specific aspect that made you feel unnerved, it would be greatly appreciated as it will help us further enhance our customer experience. You can reach out to us at helpdesk@solvgroup.com or contact us on 02890 451010. We are here to address any concerns you may have and continue to provide exceptional service.
Thank you once again for choosing us for your boiler service, and we look forward to the opportunity to serve you in the future.
Warm regards,
solv
