Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 136 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently praise the professional and exceptionally helpful staff who arrive promptly to resolve complex heating and boiler issues with great skill. Many consumers deeply appreciate the clean and polite approach of technicians, who routinely wear shoe covers, explain the repair process clearly, and tidy up afterward. However, some people mentioned occasional communication difficulties and noticeable scheduling delays when trying to arrange urgent appointments through the office team. A few reviewers experienced frustratingly long phone hold times and felt that service updates regarding technician arrivals could be handled much better.

Excellent service as always

Excellent service as always. I have worked with Village Heating since 2020 for annual heating inspection and leak detection. This time, they helped identify a source of dampness including thermal imaging in the most cost-effective quote I could find.
Also, they have always been on time and take their time to explain the process they are following.

In addition, their customer service team is always friendly and flexible.

Thanks to Bille and the engineers for the recent assistance.

Great Service

Irfan was the engineer he spent so much time making sure he found where the leak was coming from with our boiler, which several other engineers who have been never have. He has ordered the part and will return once received. He was so polite, put covers on his shoes when he came in and explained everything he was doing. Such a pleasant young man and an asset to this company.

The VHL Engineer called Irfan is very good at his job. He sorted my hot water issue in the boiler. He was very polite, good communication skills, explained very well to me the issue and its solution. He waited until I was satiated with level of hot water temperature. He followed all the instructions to the note I have given to the company when making the appointment. I Highly recommend this engineer.

Boiler repair

There was a fault on my boiler. The Engineer called Irfan came around, he was very helpful, polite, professional and sorted my boiler issue.
I would highly recommend this engineer. If anything goes wrong with my boiler/heating I will only ask for this engineer.

Useless, useless, useless

This company that plays at working on behalf of Hillingdon Council sent a technician to my home without informing me but managed to text me that someone was coming around half an hour before turning up & when I was out. The person called me sometime later saying they were outside my door but I was not near my home. I received a letter today making another appt & reminding me of the law & the importance of their visit, etc. & when I called them I was reallocated to someone else who reallocated me to someone else & who attempted to put me through to Hillingdon Council which has no responsibility in this matter. It is up to the company to inform the client that someone is coming out to visit them & no-one else's job or responsibility & they seem unable to process, take responsibility or even to listen to those they intend to visit in the hope that they're home but without even informing them prior to the visit. Their mission statement of 'setting standards' is laughable & the person I spoke to who refused to listen to me needs to be properly trained in how to ably deal with people & their queries & complaints. A joke from start to finish & which is on them in view of expense & time. Shame on Hillingdon Council for using cheap, useless companies to carry out important works & then transferring the onus on the people that they are paid to visit. Hopefully the technician will prove more helpful than the company attitudes.

Dear Alvydas, thank you for your comment. We take any feedback of this nature very seriously and immediately reviewed all internal systems, GPS tracking data, and dashcam footage from the vehicle in question (LR70CWU). Our findings confirmed that our driver followed all road safety and company procedures appropriately.

We understand that road situations can sometimes be interpreted differently in the moment, but we can confidently say our engineer acted professionally throughout. Our team remains committed to maintaining the highest driving and customer service standards at all times.

What a shambles company!

I have been without heating for 3 days now. I called Village heating through Hillingdon council repairs line. They said they couldn't get anyone to me that day so made an appt for after the weekend. Monday between 8-1. Well at gone 2pm I called them again and was told the engineer was still coming and would be with me shortly. It is now evening time and still no engineer. So my day off work has been wasted and I won't get another day off until next week. That means no heating all week ahead unless the engineer shows up within the next half an hour. (Their working day hours) never had such poor service. Even phoning them I was on hold for a ridiculous length of time.

Company is outrageous

Company is outrageous. I have called many times over last 2 days. They handle a contract for the council in my borough. I have no heating and no hot water! My daughter has just had surgery and is recovering at home. I keep getting sent to a voicemail after 30 minutes on hold each time where I have left countless voicemails. On another number they have a loop which says please hold please hold but doesn’t go anywhere. Awful! I have also been ringing the emergency out of hours number where again I have to leave a voicemail after 30 minutes on hold! I am disgusted at the customer service and the lack of professionalism from this company!

Worst service

Worst service, had an appointment, no courtesy call stating they are running late and never turned up for the appointment, they were very quick at taking payment over the phone but couldn’t provide a decent service
