Overall very satisfied with the guys from Marks Tey - Essex (thus the 5 star review) My Zanussi built in fridge freezer had the freezer part fail and not keep temperature at all. It was very quick and easy to make a booking. The engineer that first attended very quickly checked and ascertained it was part / valve failure that directed gas between the fridge and the freezer, so ordered parts and took payment there and then, and said I would be contacted for the replacement part to be fitted. The only negative side of the experience was the bookings. For the first visit I got an appointment for a Tuesday, this was requested by Glotech to become a Saturday, which I agreed but said it must be after 8am. The engineer called the day before and said he would be there at 7am, which wasn't possible so he had to cancel due to other workload, and revert to the Tuesday. After the first visit I only found out on Monday at 2pm that the second visit was the next day on Tuesday, which again I managed to make work but just getting a text message at 2pm for the next day was a bit unexpected. Finally though, I am very happy because both the engineers were very professional, friendly and knowledgeable - most importantly they totally fixed the issue and saved me more than £600 to buy and install a new appliance , so would highly recommend but just keep in mind you might have to be a bit flexible around the booking times and days. Thanks Glotech - highly recommend them!

Communication to book in the repair even after payment took far too long. There was no fortgcoming communication and i had to chase for a date several times. When eventually I booked this company to re-gas my fridge and replace a faulty part, after booking, I learned there was a 50% chance the re-gas could permanently break the appliance — a significant risk that should have been made clear upfront. Neither the engineer who attended nor the disclaimer emailed to me afterward explained this risk clearly. Had I known beforehand, I would have made a different decision. I've had to cancel the repair and am now requesting a refund. Communication around risks like this needs to be far more transparent before any work is booked or carried out.

The guy asked to come to my house earlier than the appointment and I obliged. Because I was on video calls I had to respond in between meetings and signed a waiver for him to gas the fridge freezer. He did this in an hour, took the £200 and within 24 hours the freezer was still broken. When I complained, he pointed out the waiver I had signed and funny enough the same waiver in the email that he sent me. Clearly they are used to charging for gassing. It doesn't work.

Danny was really helpful looking at my washing machine in Ely. It turned out it was just a glitch but he was really helpful explaining why the error had happened and then tested the machine twice to make sure it was ok before he left.

Terrible service & very rude unprofessional manager! They knew the model of fridge freezer before attending, then when they arrived stated that there were no available parts for it. Was in the house all of 20 minutes. Still demanded the full £123.00!
