Professional service

The customer service from Donna was fantastic. First time for a long time that I’ve had warm and helpful customer service. Michael the engineer was thorough and I felt in very safe and experienced hands - he was clearly very knowledgeable. There is a clear reason this firm has Worcester Bosch accreditation as their level of work is of a high standard. Donna and Michael kept in contact throughout the job and I now have a boiler installed and guaranteed for 10 years as well as them registering it with the relevant registers. They navigated everything for me. Thank you South Thames Gas!

Terrible- keep away from

Terrible - don’t use. They came out. Found the drip. Couldn’t say what part it was. Couldn’t say how they can fix it. Said it would cost a lot. Said they would order the part. In the meantime stuck a plastic bag inside the boiler to protect the electrics until i raised safety concerns. Then turned off the wrong pipe leaving me to actually turn off the water. Failed to respond to my complaint

Totally unreliable

I booked a boiler service with them, and they gave me a date and time slot.
I called again to make sure they had the booking.They confirmed it.
I called again on the morning of the booking, no answer.I tried many times and NO ANSWER
I found another number for them. I told the man about the booking, he was vague and unable to confirm anything and said he would call back in about an hour. He did not call back

Quick and Efficient Response …

I had a gas safety check done the same day I rang. The follow up work which included new boiler, fitting new cooker and capping off gas fire we’re all done very efficiently and at estimated cost.
Donna when I rang acted on all my queries and questions efficiently.
Michael was very respectful to my property. He tidied up any mess and all work was done to a high standard.
I was very happy with the overall service from beginning to end.

Don’t hesitate to use this company🌟

Just had a visit from a lovely engineer from this company - Michael. He was so polite & respectful to my elderly father. He was thorough in his inspection of the water heater that wasn’t working, opened it up & found a simple fault, thank God we decided on a second opinion as the first company we contacted - Plumb London came had a Quick Look, didn’t do much & later quoted over a thousand pounds to replace the water heater.
Don’t hesitate to contact this company - they know what they’re doing.
Thank you💖🙏🏾💖

I had a new boiler installed and was really pleased with the service. The engineer arrived on time, completed the job within the agreed budget, and took the time to show me how to use the controls. He was also very clean and tidy throughout. Would highly recommend.

Awesome Service and Tap replacement after plumbing scare

Last Friday my kitchen tap would not turn off the hot water. I managed to stop the flow below the sink but contacted South Thames gas immediately after googling possible issues. I am so glad I did- it was far beyond my ability to sort out and that same day an engineer came around and diagnosed my tap needed replacement. They quoted a very reasonable price which made me even happier I hadn’t tried to struggle on without water. I assumed it might be a week or more before the new tap arrived. But no, around midday Donna called and advised the part was in and an engineer could be round this afternoon. I was blown away by the organisation and efficiency with which the repair was done- just 2and a half hours after the call. Everything was completely cleaned up after and I was super happy with both the service and the interactions. I will now only use South Thames gas and feel assured they give prompt polite efficient service with accurate and fair quotation
I have an old boiler which will soon need replacement and I feel much happier now I can rely on this company.

Aggressive and unnecessary

AVOID - Had them service an 11 month old boiler and the chap gave me a list of things that need correcting. None of the items were necessary including magnetic limescale filter etc. (other reviews mention this) When I asked the the engineer about the items he turned very aggressive towards me. As a result I contact the original installers to check that the installation was up to standard and it was. I then had another well known company service the boiler and everything was fine.
Just avoid at all costs.

Hi Mr Stock

Thank you for your feedback which has been carefully noted.
You called our company to carry out a boiler service, as you were selling the property. The boiler service was completed. You were provided with the gas readings and the engineer found no gas or water leaks.
However during a boiler service our engineer made the following observations:
The plume pipe was missing a screw
The pipes connected to the boiler were not clipped to the wall
The overflow pipe was not clipped to the wall
The cable from the spur to the HIVE was not in trunking
There was no scale reducer on the system.
All the above were recommendations and it is good practice.
There was no Co2 alarm where the boiler was located. Since 2022 a Co2 alarm should be installed in any room where there is a fixed combustion appliance.
Whenever an engineer performs a boiler service they perform basic tests as well as additional checks, observations and recommendations. This is to make sure the system is well maintained and ultimately preserves the life of the boiler.
Ultimately we strive to give good customer service and and be thorough in our works.
It is disappointing you feel you have not had this experience.
If you wish to discuss this further please do not hesitate to contact our office.

Regards
Donna

Dishonest

Our boiler stopped working. A plumber from South Thames Gas came out around 10pm and diagnosed a faulty pump. We were charged £177 for his visit.

We were sent a list of recommendations including a new pump & pressure sensor (total cost including VAT £614.99).

They also suggested a magnetic filter & scale reducer, for which we were quoted £370.00 + Vat (£74) and a room thermostat £298.99 + VAT (£58).

This makes a grand total of £1,415.98. Plus the cost of the initial assessment visit, it makes a grand total of £1,592.98.

Thinking I could buy a new boiler for this, I started contacting other heating engineers.

Luckily for me I found another one who told me that there was no need for a new pump!

He fitted a new pressure sensor and room thermostat. (Unfortunately a magnetic filter could not be fitted as the boiler is only around 40cms off the ground.)

I paid him a grand total of £390 and the boiler is now back up and running!

Thank goodness I didn't use South Thames Gas!

Hello Ms Mizuno

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review, the contents of which have been noted.
Firstly you called South Thames Gas and accepted the call out charge with no complaint.
Our engineer diagnosed the problems with the system and made the recommended remedial works (after having contact the boiler manufacture)
From our engineers diagnosis he found the pump was not working correctly and recommended it be replaced.
He also found the central heating system was not installed correctly ie. did not have a magnetic filter, scale reducer and no room stat (it has to be a programmable room stat) The timer was not working.
All this was explained to you.
When you contacted South Thames Gas regarding the remedial works you became very abusive and swearing to our receptionist. This was not called for. The receptionist dealt with you in a professional manner.
It was also explained to you that you could do your own research and appoint whom ever you choose to work on your central heating system. You were not obliged to use South Thames Gas to do the work.
We understand that you did follow the advice given and decided to go elsewhere, which is your prerogative.
At every stage we were open and honest with you.

South Thames Gas strives to give good quality customer service (informing the customer of all available options)
We are sorry and disappointed you feel that this has not been your experience. If you wish to discuss this please feel free to contact our office.
In the meantime we wish you all the best.
Donna

I called South Thames Gas to service my boiler on the 30/052022.
The engineer came between the times agreed and explained what he was going to do.
He undertook a full service (much better than the previous company I had use).
It was so refreshing to have a tradesman who is friendly and polite.
I would highly recommend this company and would definitely use them in the future if needed

Replace old central heating timer.

Timer stoped working in a time of Covid. took almost a week for the order to arrive. This is not their fault. Soon it arrived the fitted timer the next day.
Clean and tidy work.
Very happy with South Thames work.

Lovely people, great boilers

Lovely people, prompt service even in a pandemic, didn't charge me for things I didn't need, it feels amazing to have a proper boiler again.

AVOID these guys

AVOID these guys. Terrible Service. Late attendance. Massively overcharged. Said they'd come to finish off part of the job and didn't. We then needed someone else to come and fix what they did. I have never written a negative review of anything, but feel compelled to warn prospective customers about South Thames Gas. Find someone else!!!

Having seen the reply below, I’ve no desire to get into an argument but the second attempt at fixing the issue with a solid pipe failed. We required someone to come and fix this, and the damage to the wooden panel caused by the first attempt by South Thames Gas. For the two trips to try and fix the leaking toilet we were charged over £1100.

Thank you for your feed back.
Clearly some clarity is needed.
We were asked to attend because the toilet was leaking. Upon investigation it was found that rats had eaten through parts of the pan connector. You gave permission to do the repair. Once the repair was complete we asked the occupant to contact our company if there were any problems. The next day the tenant contacted our office. as the same problem occurred again. The engineer attended and fitted a solid pan connector. Pictures were sent to you. Again we asked the tenant if there were any problems to contact our office. As we did not hear anything from the tenant and as you paid the invoice in full it would be reasonable to assume everything was ok.

With regard to 'late attendance'.
We strive to adhere to the time slots given and at times this is sometimes not always possible due to unforeseen occurrence, jobs over-running etc. Most customers understand this and we strive to inform customers if there is going to be a delay.

The standard of work completed was good.
At all times you were informed of the works needed and the cost (which you approved at every stage). You then paid the cost in full.
You state 'you 'needed someone else to come and fix what they did'.
At no time did you inform our company of this work or what it was.
We can only assume it was the light fitting you wanted to be installed by our gas engineer for free.
If you engaged and electrician to deal with this then that is your prerogative.

Thank you for your reply dated 21/01/2021
At no time did you contact our company to inform us that the solid pipe repair had failed. This does not make sense. The engineer asked the tenants to contact our office if there were any problems. Nobody contacted us
You were informed (by emails dated 20/11/2020 and 27/11/2020 ) that the panel had water and sewage damage and it may have bowed a bit. The engineer would fit it back as best as he could but the panel would need to be replaced.
The engineer also informed the tenants that the panel will be left off so that the area can dry out and then the panel would most likely need to be replaced.
If you had contacted our company this could have been resolved.
