Reviews

4.1

Positive reviews describe polite engineers, tidy installations and successful bathroom and heating jobs. Critical accounts focus on faults left unresolved after repeated visits, charges for work that did not solve the problem, delayed replies and promised quotes that did not arrive. One customer also alleges that a boiler stopped working after the visit.

We had to have a new boiler fitted to a property we will be moving into in Sywell. Not only did a great job with incredibly polite workers, all rubbish was cleared, they even fixed a problem that appeared 2 days later. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Had Andy from WS Howe call in this morning after me leaving a message on a Sunday evening informing them of a problem with my boiler. He emailed me first thing in the morning and arrived within the hour to fix the problem. Excellent service from an excellent company. Can recommend them for any heating requirements etc.

Asked them to take a look at our boiler that had a water leak but was working perfectly fine apart from that. I even had the part that needed fitting. Now all of a sudden it's completely broken and needs a new PCB after their engineer obviously broke it. Now told we need a complete new boiler!! Don't trust them at all. Will be speaking with trading standards. We have been left with no heating or hot water and 2 children in the house!

The last repair to the boiler was well over a year ago It was one of the control valves, it stopped working it was replaced and wasn't leaking then. The leak started about 2 months ago. Your lying about your first engineer as my wife called me as soon as they left telling me it wasn't working at all anymore and he somehow managed to trip the main fuse box and the whole house lost power whilst he was in the boiler cupboard! This was your engineers fault we are now left with no heating at all !! Cheers!!
