Polypipe thermostats are useless. I’ve had them for a few years now and they are rubbish, not easy to control, hidden menus you just cannot understand so it’s not user friendly at all and when you cha... See more

Avoid at all costs

Avoid at all costs

I have sent numerous emails (and even followed up with phone calls) in regards to stock availability for some products, that my biggest customer is in dire need of. After having been promised a variety of dates as to when the products I needed would be available, I eventually gave up.

Understandably, my customer has taken his business elsewhere as I was unable to obtain at least a half decent explanation

Needless to say, this service is, at best, shambolic

There is certainly a "go to work, get paid, go home" work ethic here. I cannot find one single person who cares about customer service

Very, very poor for such a large company

Hi Rokas,

Unfortunately you rang our office during the Christmas period when our offices were on shut down. The lines reopened on January 2nd.

Many thanks,

Polypipe Underfloor Heating

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Domestic Under Floor Heating System

Domestic Under Floor Heating System. Half decent product, does what i would expect for the price.

Unfortunately, Customer Service levels were terrible. Totally inept, incompetent and refused to take ownership of their own mistakes. Ended up with about £500 worth of product leftover that they wouldn't let me return even though their rep did the measuring up and ordering for the job.

Still waiting for a half reasonable explanation as to why? There doesn't seem to be one.

I'd stay away from this company. Theres plenty other decent systems out there that compete on price by companies who might actually care about providing a good service.

Hi Gary,

Thank you for your feedback. Service is actually quite important to us here at Polypipe which is why we looked into this for you.

As explained when looking into this at the time, the excess product was due to quoting for underneath your kitchen cupboards and appliances. This was done following conversations with your builder and plumber on site which nobody brought into question whilst our team member measured and provided a quick quote. If you had of supplied plans of your project to our design team we could have provided a full quote and design for you.

In this instance the merchant agreed to take back the product and issue a refund once it had been resold.

Above all else, we take on board all of your feedback and hope that you enjoy your underfloor heating.

Many thanks,

Polypipe Building Products.

Terrible service!

I can honestly say I thought I was going to be very impressed by Polypipe.
I have never communicated with such a rude company before. I was given 2 incorrect quotes, which caused us to order the incorrect amount we needed and then was overcharged. Had to argue with 3 people before my query was seen too and was still not ever resolved, 1 of which was speaking over me the whole conversation which was infuriating me even more! Spent more money than I should have and would definitely not recommend. Overall experience - poor!

Total Fiasco, avoid the UFH

I saw an advert for PolyPipe under floor heating, FOUR months later I still have no price quote for installing this system.

I must have sent 30-40 messages now, eventually got an equipment quote, but not for installation even now, so have to give up on it, the suggested contractors do not reply either.

Kelly Hoppen endorses this product, I have contacted her and got no reply, so unsure if that is correct or not.

My personal advice is, don't bother they may be a big company, but customer service is non-existent

Hi Alan,

We completely appreciate that we are four years late to the game here... we are new to Trust Pilot!

Please note for future reference that a guide price can be obtained quickly via our website here https://www.polypipeufh.com/get-a-guide-price, or a more detailed quote can be obtained now by contacting design@polypipe.com.

We do not quote for installation, this is done by the heating installers as they are not employed by Polypipe. We do have a listed of Registered Heating Engineers on our website - this means they have completed our Underfloor Heating Training and are BPEC accredited in installing warm water underfloor heating. We are not responsible for these Engineers and there schedules, it is at their discretion if and when they get back to you.

Many thanks,

Polypipe Building Products.
