Avoid at all cost

Avoid at all cost, I was booked in for 10:30 and no one showed. No call no text. I rang them and they said his coming for 2pm. Fine the bloke coming said he can’t come that its too far. I was charged 59£ over the phone. Give me Back my money as refund and they said they can’t. They kept transferring me over the phone telling me to go to an empty website. Avoid them. They are scams and a fraud. The guy Dan is so rude on the phone. Don’t go near them. If I can give more than 1 star I’d give them.

Absolute disgrace of a company

Absolute disgrace of a company. Charge a huge fee for what you understand to be the job in question. Engineer is then tasked, carried out the job extremely well and then you are presented with another bill for the job by the engineer who has already taken this company to court as they owe him money for other jobs he has varied out. Called to clarify, really poor customer service and the team are not bothered in any way. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Absolute rip off.

Beware

Looking for quote for simple job and selected company because all advertising seen on internet emphasised “no call-out fee”. Eager to take money upfront (seemed odd) only to find from receipt delivered later that had been charged £81 for “non-refundable call-out fee”! Very rude and hostile when challenged next day. Be very careful dealing with these people and think of spending more wisely elsewhere. Looks like a long haul through the small-claims courts ahead.

Company is Local Experts - yeah right…

Company is total waste of time- firstly could not spell my surname then booked me an appointment with a rather bemused engineer in the South of England - I live in Northern Ireland. I called up to cancel any further dealings with this company and asked for my money to be refunded to be told quite reluctantly that it would take about two weeks- not good enough

This company could well be a scam

I phoned this company yesterday. They said they would be out yesterday or today but still no sign of them. I was charged £75 and told they charged by the half hour with no call out charge. After I had paid I got a text saying "all additional payments including the second half of the minimum 1 hour fee, should be paid directly to the tradesman attending the site".At no point in my phone conversation with these people did it say the minimum charge was one hour. I tried phoning again a few minutes ago but there was no answer and if I reply to the text it doesn't go through. I have not received a receipt from these people.

Absolute scam

Absolute scam. Please be aware. This company promises to provide reliable engineer contact number and charge £75 for first half hour labour service, with minimum 1 hr service. This means you will have to pay to the engineer at least an hour additional labour charge on top of £75 already charged by the company. This is not mentioned in the payment confirmation message they send. They dont Email a payment receipt. This payment term is no where explained on their website. Their website is very misleading as they claim to be 5 star rated!!

We requested a local plumber contact number with clear requirement of replacing flush valve. We were assured of same day service.Plumber turned up next day evening . Glanced the flush and said yah flush valve needs to be replaced. Plumber has now sent in a quote with £75 charge to replace the valve.

I can not dispute this on Sec75 as the transaction value is less than £100. I feel looted and helpless and concerned about much vulnerable customers in the area. I hoping to reach out to local authorities to get this stopped. Please be ware!!
