terribly expensive

terribly expensive. i call them for a simple problem, changing a heating control panel. They said it could be fix easily and i should pay £130 for someone to come. The guy ended up staying 6h to find all sort of trivial things and creating new issues, I ended up paying over £1,000... and he left with new issues to fix. They told me i should change my boiler, not because there is any issue with it, just because it's old. They quoted £6.9k to change it, while i paid £3.9k for it 4 years ago.

Hi Giraud,

We’re sorry to hear that you were unhappy with the cost and overall experience.

Although the initial issue reported was with the heating controls, our engineer’s investigation identified multiple faults within the system, including a faulty programmer, a failed hot water zone valve, leaking components, and additional safety and maintenance concerns relating to the boiler and associated pipework. The engineer discussed these findings with you throughout the visit and carried out the agreed repairs to restore the system to working order.

As noted during attendance, some additional issues only became apparent during draining, refilling, and testing of the heating system. These were addressed where possible on the day, and any remaining recommendations were clearly advised. The recommendation to consider boiler replacement was based on the appliance’s age, overall condition, and signs of multiple component failures, rather than simply its age alone. This was provided as advice for long-term reliability, not as an obligation.

We do appreciate your feedback regarding pricing and understand that unexpected repair costs can be frustrating. If you would like to discuss this matter further, please reach out to our Customer Services team and we can walk you through the assessment carried out on the day and the recommendations in detail.

Kind regards,
Pimlico Plumbers

Service above and beyond

I wouldn’t hesitate to book again. I had always been reluctant to use Pimlico as I assumed they would be more expensive. However we had a problem that needed fixing quickly and they were available. They sorted 4 problems in one go, completed the jobs in one visit (with spare parts available in the van), were thoroughly nice guys to have in the house, left the room immaculate and even returned my child’s toy the next day which had got mixed up in the rubbish.

👍 Job done very well and on time

👍 Job done very well and on time. Workmanship excellent. (Carpentry service. Integrated dishwasher panel and fitting)
👎 Expensive. I didn’t like reading out my credit card number on the phone. The girl repeated all the numbers out loud as well - so payment is not secure. We also phoned to say to use my husband’s telephone number but they continued to call mine.

I asked for someone to please unblock the Kitchen Sink and mentioned it had possibly backed up to the boiler located a few feet away.

They didn’t unblock the sink and condemned the boiler.

They then refused to unblock the sink when I complained about this, despite having already paid.

Unreliable and charge you for their mistakes

Despite calling to double check an electricians arrival time I was told inaccurate information and promised a call ahead of their arrival which never happened. Tennant gave up waiting and now they want to charge another call out fee. Avoid.

Did half the job

Booked for a roof inspection. They arrived without the correct ladder to be able to do the job. Promised to send videos from the parts of the roof they could inspect but never did. Said they'd send a quote for follow up work but never did that either.

Hello,

We’re sorry to read your feedback and disappointed to hear you were unhappy with your experience.

Having reviewed the job notes, we can confirm the appointment was completed on 21st March and a quotation for the recommended follow-up works was also issued the same day. To assist further, I will arrange for the quotation to be resent to you.

At this stage, we have not received any complaint or direct contact raised with our Customer Services team regarding the concerns mentioned in your review. Had this been brought to our attention, we would have been more than happy to investigate matters further, including the concerns regarding the roof access and videos discussed during the visit.

If there are any other outstanding items you would like us to follow up on, please contact our Customer Services team directly and we will be happy to assist further.

Sophie and David were excellent

Sophie was excellent with comms and arrived promptly to measure and quote for Airconditioning to be installed in our house. She was friendly and efficient. When she arrived to install with Andrew, again the comms were excellent, both were very friendly, efficient and explained all aspects of the 2-day job. The job was completed to a high standard and my wife and I were delighted.

Stay well away from these guys

Stay well away from these guys - absolutely the worst service I’ve ever been exposed to. Pre-paid for visit, arrived, didn’t do anything and said they would follow up. Heard nothing for two week. Chased three times and eventually asked for a refund. Was told the complaints team would get in touch asap. Not heard a thing for two days. They are really another level of scammers!!!

A pleasure to deal with.

Billy was a pleasure to deal with from the moment he arrived on the first day. We had to have some major work done to our boiler and he and his colleague Gary constantly kept us informed of what they were doing, what they found and how they were going to fix the issue.
My husband and I would not hesitate to call them again if we need further help.
