They couldn’t care less.

I had an appointment to switch on the gas and the boiler between 8am till 1pm.
No one called. I then phoned the company after 1pm to see what was happening explaining to them that I took my morning off and that I was waiting in a cold place (new property with no gas on) since 7:30am.
They said that the technician was running late and should be with me within the next hour.
After 2:30pm, still no one or phone call. I phoned again the company that is now telling me that their technician is doing my postcode and that he has two jobs (me included) at this postcode so he should be with me very soon.
Now it is 3:40 and guess what nobody has turned up.
I made another call to the company ( for all those phone call I been waiting on average 45 to 60 minutes to get someone) that tells me that their guy should be coming a bit before 6pm but if he doesn’t turn up to contact them in order to book another appointment.
That will be 10 hours and a half waiting.
Now I caught a cold and I am very upset.
Well done Tbrown for that amazing professionalism and customer service!

Never turn up on booked appointments

Still waiting for engineer not the first time I've wasted holidays waiting in for the brown that never arrived on booked days off! Been waiting today for emergency engineer leaks, water out of walls no way to contain been clearing puddles all day yet still waiting water is dripping out my lights so expect me to sit with no lights, no heating in puddles. I don't feel safe and they don't seem concerned or bothered, lie that they came when I have been sitting allday at the window waiting. Been two years waiting to put a radiator back to the wall by tbrown had appointment booked Monday 15th, thought finally job be complete

I have to give them one star but would rather give them ZERO. I am unfortunate as I have no choice but to use them as I am a council tenant. 3 times they haven’t bothered to show up for my gas safety check. They pretend they have by supposedly taking a photo of my door entry system. I’ve made a formal complaint and they are meant to be contacting me. I won’t hold my breath !!

Simply applying

Have left us 16 days with no heating and hot water. All that keeps getting said is ‘someone will be in contact imminently’ no idea what that means. This issue has been labelled as urgent but think they have a different definition of that word to the rest of the world. Think they need to be honest and tell the truth. Shocking service. This is the third time this year we’ve been left without any heating or hot water for longer than a week this year!!! The engineers that keep coming have no idea. It’s one problem, oh no wait it’s now something else. Actually no this is the issue. They haven’t got a scooby!

I would not even give any star but to write this review I had no choice! T brown’s service is absolutely deplorable I cannot begin to explain! I have been given two appointments and both times they cancelled without notification and made me miss important hospital appointments. They are the worst of the worst.

Tbrown is the most useless heating company I've ever have to deal with. Their engineers are pure incompetent and liars. They are very in a hurry to go home. If you're unfortunate to have an appointment for late afternoon, they will come to your place, take the picture of your door without ringing the bell and report it as no access.

Absolutely disgraceful!

Absolutely disgraceful!! Had no heating for over a month with two young kids, and it’s still not fixed! It’s only 1degree outside now! You wait for them to arrive within the selected time slot and they never arrive. I requested for the engineer to notify me before he arrives when you have to rebook the appointment but the request is never met!
I honestly dislike them, no remorse for their customers.

Took 6 call outs to fix heating

Took 6 call outs to fix heating. About 20 mostly wasted calls, 2 missed appointments in which no one showed up in the time frame, 2 appointments where the engineer wasn't given the part they needed.

The engineers were polite and helpful, especially Charles who fixed the issue. Great service. The customer service team tried to help. The issue here is the way this company is run and management. For a huge contract with the local council, it's quite unbelievable that operations are completely inadequate and as shocking as this, as all the reviews show.

How hard is it for the managers of this company to run a mostly accurate timetable, have effective communication with their teams and ensure their engineers have the information they need to carry out their jobs? Seemingly impossible!

This crew sum up why Britain is in the state it is...

If I could give them a negative score it would be -5.
Useless company, all of them are "half a job Bobs" getting paid a ton of money from the council for every call- out.
Can't competently complete the job on a first attempt, and subsequently get called out over and over again to rectify the same issue.
Every call out = more money for nothing from the council.
Avoid like the plague if you can. Shoddy work, incompetent, lacking in people skills, bunch of cowboys.
With people like these, it's no wonder Eastern Europeans get a better share of the market.
This company is a discredit to British workmanship.

Avoid at all costs

Avoid at all costs. They don't turn up for booked appointments and the so called engineer even LIES on his work sheet and says he has completed the job. Disgusting company.
