AVOID THIS COMPANY …..!!

This company does not fulfil its obligations to ensuring their installations are working once supplied and fitted. Their customer support team fail to send engineers to make remedial repairs as requested by their customers.

I had to bring in an independent electrician to sort out the wiring problems and I’m having to pursue reimbursement via legal process.

Good Morning Kevin,

Your boiler was installed by ourselves on the 16/08/2022. The boiler installed was an LPG Worcester Bosch 18ri which was a straight swap replacement of the heat only system that you already had in place and therefore we connected up to the existing wiring in place at the property at a the time. Plumbproud did not change any of the electrics originally at the property.

The external electrician that you have had attend the property was also unsure of the wiring centre at the property and struggled to rectify the issues raised confirmed in the report sent across to us.

We have been in contact with yourself to discuss these issues and tried to help in any way that we can however the work was additional to the job originally quoted for and there for the bill sent across to us is not a representation of works carried out by Plumbproud.

Kind Regards,
Plumbproud Ltd

An appalling company and installation experience

I have reported to GAS SAFE a problem which i have had with this company. They are coming with the "engineer" tomorrow to look at my installation.

I bought a boiler from this company and agreed to pay 50% prior to the installation and 50% after.
I gave photo's and a description and agreed to switch from a standard boiler to a combi. A price of £2900 was agreed (i'm told that this is grossly overpriced) Worcester Bosch Greenstar 2000.
when the engineer arrived on fitting day, he took one look at the boiler and said "i cant fit that" as it is a significant amount of pipework and that he would "damage my floors which would never be the same again". He phoned Plumbproud and they called me asking for an additional £1500 which i refused to pay. They then asked for me to have another boiler - a standard boiler and not a combi which they had told me was best for me.
Whilst i was awaiting the boiler to be delivered, i checked on Companies House for the company. I know it was a bit late after i had paid for it but there are several companies (franchises) one of which was listed at the same address as the company who had dissolved in March 2023. I was really concerned at this point.
The limited company is still in existence and operating from the company address.

Plumbproud wanted £2900 for the second boiler which i know from having priced up several standard boilers beforehand was very expensive. However bear in mind that I had already paid this company 50% downpayment on my previous contract.

Plumbproud have advertised this boiler at £2000 supplied and fitted or within 5% of this amount. By my reckoning, this should be a maximum of £2100!

I agreed to pay a higher amount before I had seen what they were advertising it at. when i challenged them about it, i was told that it was agreed at a higher price which was "already discounted". Not according to their own website it wasnt!

The next fiasco occurred when the fitter came and fitted my boiler. It doesnt comply with Worcester Bosch manufacturers installation regulations as the filter, installed at the top of the boiler, is installed completely contrary to the instructions.

Additionally, a condensate pipe has been pushed into the soil about 15mm away from my exterior wall and stuck in with cement. This is contrary to Building Regulations which require a soakaway unit away from the house footings which would be damaged by the shoddy installation. I waited 30 days, the statutory maximum time for the company to notify building control at my local council which, unsurprisingly, has not been registered.

I was informed that if i wished to sell my house, I would be liable myself to be prosecuted as I am unable to provide the Gas Safe installation certificate which confirms that it complies with Building Regulations.

Additionally, the system was not drained, just lazily switched off the water at the mains, it wasn't flushed, i did not get a programmer controller nor an analyzer test, none of my radiators were bled, no valves were installed but the paperwork was signed off as completed. I asked the installation engineer to check my radiators as they werent heating up. He said to turn off all the upstairs radiators and only run the downstairs ones.

If you have any concerns, please contact GAS SAFE, notify your local council building control department, contact Worcester Bosch and, in my opinion, do not consider using this company for your central heating system.

This has so far cost me four days absence from work (I don't get holiday pay) but to be fair, i would have taken one day off had i had a trouble free installation.

The boiler which i originally ordered is still sitting in my garage uncollected. The independent installation engineer wanted to take this away, which i declined.

BE VERY CAREFUL. CHECK WHAT YOU HAVE HAD INSTALLED AND ENSURE YOU HAVE THE LEGAL CERTIFICATION FOR THE INSTALLATION.

Good Morning Mrs James,

Since this review you have had Gas Safe attend the property and the engineer has rectified all issues raised within a suitable time frame.

We have been in contact via email to discuss the ways forward as we would like to come to an arrangement where both yourself and Plumbproud are happy that the works have been completed to satisfaction.

Please respond to our email so that we can help settle this dispute for you.

Kind Regards,

Agreed to have a boiler fitted by PlumProud, was asked to send in pictures of my boiler and setup so there was no surprises for the engineer. The engineer arrived and said he need to cut out a huge chunk of my wall to access my pipework. Not a problem when I asked if he would be repairing the damage he would cause or if someone else would come to do that he said no I would be responsible for repairing any damage caused by himself during the install of the boiler. I said this was not acceptable and would not be proceeding with the new boiler and would like to cancel. I was then told that I would have to pay a cancellation fee to cancel 😞. On what planet does anyone think this is acceptable!! When I spoke to Jacob on the phone he was rude and arrogant and spoke to me like I was a 2 Yr old child. Take my advise and avoid at all costs will damage your property and refuse to make good on the damage they cause

Good Morning Mr Price,

We have been in contact with yourself regarding the issues raised in this review.

I understand that in order for the engineer to have completed the work he would have needed to cut the plaster board in order to access the pipes that run behind the boiler which was not clear from the photos received. Due to James being a gas engineer and not a carpenter we would not have been able to replace the plaster board and unfortunately as stated in our terms and conditions we do not do ‘make good’which is why the installation was discussed swithyourself prior to any works being carried out for reassurance.

James explained to yourself that if we were to replace the boiler for the Worcester Bosch 4000 series then due to the placement of the fixings the whole needed in the plater board would have been a lot smaller however I understand that this offer was not accepted by yourself.

In turn the boiler had to be re-stocked and the job cancelled by yourself.

We believe that we offered all alternative options that were available for yourself and unfortunately these were not accepted by yourself and so the order was cancelled as requested.

Kind Regards,
Plumbproud Ltd

Great company!

Initially I was quite worried about using a company that I wasn't particulary familiar with, however from start to finish the experience was fantastic and stress free! The sales team were very personable and listened to my exact requirements despite me not knowing too much about boilers, and after being let down by another company my new boiler was installed the very following day with no issues, Gavin was friendly, professional and extremely tidy. I had hot water and heating by the end of that day, he even stayed longer to talk me through using the new hive controls as I'm not very technical which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend to others, thank you again :)

Couldn't be happier with my boiler installation, all the office staff were amazing, finding me the best boiler for my property and the engineer Keith was on time, talked me through the whole process and made sure he left everything clean and tidy. Thank you so much for doing such a good job Plumb Proud I will be telling all my friends and family about you!
