First Serve UK Washing Machine Repairs - London is often described as quick to respond and easy to book, with several reviewers reporting same-day or next-day visits, including weekends and bank holidays. Many reviewers report that faults were found and fixed in one visit or on a return visit once a part arrived, and some say the engineer explained the problem, gave maintenance tips and cleaned up afterwards. Reviewers repeatedly call the engineers friendly, polite and knowledgeable, and some praise honest advice to replace a machine rather than repair it, sometimes with a refund or partial refund. Some reviewers report unclear charges, including one who was not told a same-day fee was non-refundable and another who was charged on arrival before the machine was examined. There are also reports of lateness or missed appointments, rude or unprofessional conduct, and a job left unfixed, including water damage after a visit.

Very Disappointing Service – Unreasonable Charges I am extremely disappointed with my experience with First Serve UK. I paid £119 for an engineer to attend my property, drain the water from my washing machine and inform me that the pump had failed. The engineer advised me to purchase a replacement pump and said he would return to fit it. I followed his instructions and purchased the part myself. However, when I attempted to book his return visit, I was shocked to discover that I was expected to pay another £119, bringing the total to £238, excluding the cost of the pump! When I questioned this, I was told that due to rising fuel, insurance, parking and other operating costs, the company had introduced a fitting fee. I appreciate that businesses have expenses, but customers also have bills to pay! More importantly, this additional charge was never explained to me during the original visit. In the end, I decided to purchase an entirely new washing machine because it worked out cheaper than continuing with their repair service. I now have a replacement pump that I purchased unnecessarily and have already spent £119 without getting my washing machine repaired. I believe customers should be informed of all potential charges upfront so they can make an informed decision before spending their money. Extremely disappointing experience, poor communication regarding costs, and certainly not value for money. I would not use this company again or recommend them.

Cannot recommend this service enough. They were very responsive and helped set up an appointment very quickly. On the day of the appointment I had a call with the engineer who explained that the description of the problem I had entered on their form suggested I needed a new machine. The engineer said they would cancel the appointment and refund the money rather than coming along and charging me for their time only to then tell me I needed a new machine. That speaks volumes about their integrity and honesty. They also advised me on what kind of machine to get and where I ought to look. Thank you for your support.
