31st May 2019 : Had a thermostatic shower cartridge replaced today. Paul did a fantastic job with his many years of experience coming in to play. I thought it was going to be a tough job taking the square shower knob off, with the right tools he did with ease. Thanks Paul and Gas Mark 1 for the professionalism
They are both very polite very clean and tidy and left my home as they found it.
Carpets up in bedrooms and put back down no problems.
And work to government guide lines masks ex.
Very happy and would and have recommended to others.
The heating system needed a replacement part, she knew exactly what was wrong with it because it had broken before. She called Gas Mark One and said this is broken could you give me a quote for how much this will be to fix? The man said he will come out. He came out to the property, was there for literally 2 minutes and informed her of what she already knew, that that part needed replacing. He then gave her a card machine and charged her £85 for a 'call out charge' to tell her what she had called them for in the first place. He then said he will send a quote for the work.
They were unaware at this point that this customer was my mum and they had just carried out a big job for me as a business, where they came in cheapest and did not charge to do a quote/call out at all. Very angry about this, I contacted Toni and he said he will take some money off the quote when she receives it. She received the quote two days later for over £400 plus the £85 she had needlessly paid. I didn't even bother asking for the reduction promised as I knew this was not what it cost to fix seen as we have had it fixed before.
Low and behold we used a different plumber who asked for a couple of photos, was round 2 days later with the part needed, did the work and charged £80 for the whole lot!
I felt awful that I had recommended this company based on business experience with them and they went and took advantage of an older lady and ripped her off. Never got the money back, and will never use again for business or personal. They treat businesses with bigger money jobs very different to a lone older woman. What makes it worse is when I first recommended them, my mother's response was oh no they were in the paper for ripping off older people. I said must have changed hands because they were very reasonable!
I would avoid if you don't want to be ripped off. The only way they could have resolved this was to refund her the obvious rip of 'call out charge' but they wouldn't even do that sadly.
I paid them and they well deserved the business. My sincere thanks!!
