We are elderly and on the governments at risk register yet this sham of a company has left us with no heating or hot water despite the boiler working fine up to him coming to service it and it won’t be fixed till 5 days after they broke it. Despite 6 phone calls were they promised to get back to me NOT ONCE DID THIS HAPPEN I had to keep calling them and got a different answer every time. The engineers they sent came in unmarked vans to show if they were corgi registered and both were from outside the uk and spoke broken English this being elderly were hard to understand. Just made me feel like they were trying to rip me off. Wouldn’t touch this company with anything.

Don’t touch this company they are robbers. I am moving house so had to cancel my policy they said transfer to the new place ok it’s oil fired heating oh we don’t cover oil fired boilers. So this meant they couldn’t fulfill the contract it still charged me £31 to cancel they’re crooks

Had no radiators working downstairs but still hot water, engineer came and said it needed parts or a new boiler but hot water is still working and quickly left, 10 minutes later and there’s no water at all when turning on hot taps, called office and they stated the manufacturer would call us in 2 days to arrange a visit, no hot water or heating during a cold January, plastic twisters have also been taken off the boiler and lost since the engineer visit, help desk seem helpful but we’ll soon see how long this takes to sort out, very unhappy with the quality of engineer sent, and now we wait, left off worse than how we started

I contacted Corgi in November initially as I was experiencing low water pressure and it it affected the heating flow. This was corrected with a new part being supplied 3 weeks later, and i being charged £60 excess fee. However, another problem emerged after the part was installed, as the hot water flow would start hot but turn very cold, and to eliminate what i thought was a plumbing problem, i called the plumber who installed my mixer shower end of ?February 2020. He came out immediately on 22/12/2020 and checked the shower mixer and all the taps, and realised its a boiler problem. I contacted Corgi again on 23/12/20 and rang them persistently, even today 26/12 and I'm still waiting for a call back and some reassurance when they can get an engineer out to me. In the meantime, my family and myself have not had any hot water from the taps over the Christmas period. An unhappy Customer

thursday 10th december following a visit from a 4th engineer a month now of a leaking radiator, the latest information given to me is that the radiator is leaking due to a pinhole leak caused by sludge in the system which means you do not cover the repair conveniently ,this is certainly not satisfactory as firstly all other engineers looked in the system and none of the 3 mentioned this also. plus a power flush was done earlier in the year, so again the radiator has been left leaking , you are not fulfilling your service as a company and are now in total breach of the contract as you are now looking for excuses to not carry out the work,, i have now took this up with the ombudsmen and will be seeking compensation through loss of earnings, damage to my floor and any phone call charges i may receive , do not take out a corgi homeplan what a disgraceful company

update on my previous review on google and trust pilot , tuesday ,boiler pointer assigned by corgi to change my one leaking radiator sent a radiator , wednesday engineer turns up and proceeds to tell me the incorrect fittings have been sent so he cannot change the radiator,he tells me he can still close this leak off but has to drain the whole water system , obviously concerned over this response a now major job for one leaking radiator i asked if there was any other way to do this, he informed me he could freeze the pipes to the one radiator and then change it, but low and behold he couldnt do this now as he didnt have the relevant tools to carry this out, so off he goes , leaving me with still a leaking radiator now almost 2 weeks later, following yet another complaint to corgi home plan , an advisor finally called me back to say he had spoke with boiler pointer who would be coming back friday morning with the correct fixings and do the work though they had told him they need to drain the system, obviously i asked why they couldnt freeze the pipes , aside from the money aspect of a 3 hour job now becoming a half hour job i didnt actually get a valid answer so today thursday i called boiler pointer myself to ask the reason why and no response suprisingly , it is a major worry that if a small leaking radiator has caused all these problems to the engineers they send out i dread to think if someone had a house flooding , its totally unbelievable that 2 weeks after reporting a repair this still has not been done , so take my advise dont waste your money on a home care plan

If only there was a way to give minus reviews. I've been with Corgi since Feb 2020 and pay for the top level of support offering. I've experienced 2 issues with my boiler and believe they are linked. I've had several engineers in recent days/weeks and they are unable to resolve the issue. Apparently the free service I receive once a year was not carried out safely either. I have a Baxi DuoTech just over 4yrs old and therefore a popular boiler with parts readily available. I've had nothing but failed promises of calls and visits for one reason or another. Please please avoid and go with someone reputable.

I could not give zero star. There is water leaks underneath the combi Vaillant boiler and the Corgi two technician (2nd guy for second opinion). Both are incompetent and real cowboys. One guy came without tool box. They couldn't figure out where the water leaking, and forget about stopped it. The disgusting thing is there is a cancellation fee of £27. They are literally sucking people's blood and feeding their company. This is genuine feedback. Postcode KT2 7TS. Siva

2.30pm 29/10/20 Corgi customer care rang to say sorry they have just spoken to Corgi and they didnt have my details so i pointed out they told me that 2 hrs ago why wasnt it sorted then !!!!!!!!!!!!!.................................12.32pm 29/10/20. after 30 minutes on hold i have now been told that they did not give all my details to Baxi so that is why i have not been contacted PLEASE avoid this company !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.............................. 11.55am 29/10/20 Day 4 of an 82yr old without water or heating !! Still no response or communication called twice received automated message saying unable to take call .................................................................... 15.50 pm 28-10-20 So 5 hours still no contact since Corgi responded to this Review ............................................................................................................................ Called corgi as the boiler in my 82 year old father in laws granny flat lost pressure and had a fan fault once pressurised up. Engineer came the next day around 14 hrs wait. I knew instantly he was out of his depth the he said the boiler had some water in which i know categorically it did not before he arrived ( i sold heating systems for Npower and checked ) Engineer then asked to borrow my wifes hair dryer as he couldnt get the boiler dry. Engineer left the property promising he was going to get parts only to receive a call 1 hour later to say he had been pulled off the job due to costs and Corgi would Pass it to Baxi SERIOUSLY !! so I went and looked at the boiler to discover it was soaking wet and no power. I have been told that it will be another 48hrs before i will get a call from Baxi so my 82 year old father in law will be without heating or hot water for 4 days

As others have said, trying to get Corgi to do a service is like trying to nail a jelly to a wall. Always an excuse for not attending. Then when my expansion vessel fails they say there's sludge in the system and unless we pay privately now for a power flush and new vessel, they don't want to know us or provide any further work/cover! Ridiculous!! SLUDGE, the great get out of jail free card for not doing any repairs.

I have experienced an intermittent faut with my CH for some time. Corgi fail to detect the cause. Further engineer called on 22 Sept and broke an actuator and reinstalled it upside down. CH didn't work. Another engineer appeared yesterday, fixed the broken part but CH still not working. I tried to call him back but Corgi will not let him return even though he knows what to do. Now waiting yet again for Corgi to arrange further visit - incompetence is the main tool n Corgi's toolbox, so far.

I have requested help to sort out a blocked drain chamber in my house which prevents me from using all items including the toilets that use water to ensure the drain does not leak into the house. The response time is claimed to be within 2hours or 24 hours . No engineer has contacted me since.although I have have contacted Corgi 3days ago. and again today. This is not the first time I have this problem of having no indication that my problem will be resolved .

Engineer didn’t seem to know what was wrong so just made something up and said it wasn’t covered. They basically sub contract the work out to any old engineer Ended up paying to get a British Gas engineer time come and fix the problem (in 15 mins) When it was time for me to have my service by corgi, the engineer turned up at the wrong time and was literally in the house 10 minutes. Surely a service takes longer than that? No paperwork, no report Unfortunately, Corgi have me locked in a 12 month contract and won’t let me cancel but as soon as it expires, I’ll be going with British Gas

Your engineers didn't have a clue how to sort our boil from making an horrendous noise when it came on and throughout the time it was on. 4 times we call to call & different guys came out. In the end we got a guy who had his own business and when he looked into our boiler there was a lot of muck & rubbish inside. He couldn't understand why it hadn't been noticed by one of them. This chap was here an hour the corgi engineers where here around 15/20 mins. Wouldnt touch them again ever.

Every year they have to be chased to come and do the boiler service, they never contact you. This year, no renewal documents received. I had to pay a fee to stop the contract even though I hadn't been advised of renewal and am still owed a boiler service from last year. Appalling service.

Had a hot water problem and still have it 10 days later! – I’ve chronicled my experience below. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE save yourselves similar issues and go elsewhere for boiler cover!! Sunday 2nd February – No hot water for morning shower, heating working ok. Rang Corgi Homeplan at approx. 12.30. Was asked about boiler pressure etc and then told that the fault ‘should be fixed within 24 hours unless we have to order parts’ Monday 3rd February – rang again after 24 hours as we hadn’t heard anything. Said they would get someone there next day. Asked if it could be quicker and someone came round late that afternoon – diagnosed fault and said that part would need to be ordered Tuesday 4th Feb – contacted Corgi again and asked when part would be available – told that it was coming from the manufacturer (Vaillant) and would be ready tomorrow. Checked that it would be a genuine part and was told it would be as it was coming from the manufacturer. Gas fitter texted to say part would be ready Thursday and he would be in touch to arrange fitting – asked where he was getting it as local suppliers had it in stock. Was told it was coming from Newcastle and that he would pick it up Wednesday and fit it in the afternoon Wednesday 5th Feb – contacted gas fitter and asked when he would be with us. Told us he was still in Newcastle and it would be Thursday morning – he would be with us by 10.30 Thursday 6th February – Fitter arrived with part but couldn’t drain boiler (!). Said he had someone in his car he had to drop off in Galashiels so he would come back at 3.30. Checked part and it was a pattern part not a Vaillant part so delay was to source a cheaper option (as correct part was in stock locally) – Just the sort of customer service I now see as their norm! No one arrived Phoned corgi – they told me the Pressure relief valve was faulty (it wasn’t) and that the boiler was sludged so they wouldn’t progress the claim (this is a boiler that has been on a maintenance contract with British Gas for seven years and was cleaned a year ago)* – I protested and they agreed to send out someone else to double check. Appointment made for 10am Friday Checked boiler – PRV was working but pressure gauge (which was working on Sunday) wasn’t showing any drop in pressure – now not working! Friday 7th February – 10am nobody arrived, 11am phoned corgi – they said the fitter was delayed on a job and apologised – he would ring me in half an hour and be with me that afternoon. No one arrived Saturday 8th February – No contact and no fitter Sunday 9th February – Same Monday 10th – fitter rang and we arranged 11.30am appointment. He arrived early, drained down boiler (no sludge and working pressure relief valve!) fitted part which did not solve the problem. Left to get an extra part which also did not solve the problem. Told me I needed a new boiler or that Vaillant could fix it if I paid a £90 callout charge. Left the heating not working! (was ok before) Rang a plumber friend who came round and fixed it in 2 minutes! Still have no constant hot water. Tuesday 11th February - Rang to cancel my Contract with them given the issues ( I’ve decided to replace the Boiler as you simply cannot trust this sort of company to repair them) and was told that I would have to pay the full year in order to cancel. Asked to lodge a complaint and spoke to customer services who investigated. They are paying compensation for the inconvenience which covers the year I have to pay but I still have to pay a £60 callout charge! Absolutely useless rabble – totally and utterly inept. 10 days without working hot water which they view as acceptable. Tried to wriggle out of fixing it by claiming sludge in system and when that failed just washed their hands of it (making sure of course they got their £60) *Worth noting that the who fitted our new boiler commented on how clean the system water was and used the 'broken’ PRV to drain the system - AVOID THEM!!!

Boiler failure. Worcester Greenstar 37CDi boiler with Digistat controller sometimes fails to cut in or out on the Digistat thermostat, A faulty Digistat controller was diagnosed by a Corgi heating contractor, the controller was renewed, this was not the cause of the malfunction, as the boiler has failed on many occasions since. Despite the initial diagnosis, and my video evidence of failures, Corgi will not rectify the fault, as several heating contractor visits since have failed to diagnose the fault So I can’t leave the home, in case it freezes or overheats as no reliable control. Photo - controller receives signal to switch on, boiler fails to cut in (no flame light).

I can’t begin to tell you how awful this company is. Avoid at all costs; they take your money and never resolve issues. Complaints not upheld, despite subcontracting to incompetent racists in my case.

Paid my £15/month; was then charged £60 excess for an engineer callout to be told that a defunct hot water heat exchanger would not be replaced because the engineer assessed that the problem had been caused by sludge in my system - all my radiators work perfectly from top to very bottom and the system was last fully drained and reprotected 4 years ago but Corgi wouldn't budge on their refusal to cover me. Scheisters - expect them to seek a wriggle-out clause for any claim that you might make. Having read Corgi's reply I can only state that my system does not have a sludge problem - their engineer did not examine my system beyond taking a sample of water from the front of the pump with his fingertip and finding it to be discoloured - he did not examine any of the radiators or pipework to seek substantive evidence of sludge buildup (which he would not have found) - that is insufficient examination to make any professional assessment. But, on the basis of this inadequate assessment, Corgi have sent me an email stating that they will not give me further full cover unless I provide documentary proof of a professional powerflush - such a powerflush would cost several hundred pounds and could easily cause damage to my system that would cost a great deal of money to repair, beyond being completely unnecessary. This is a shameful and indefensible stance for Corgi to take, and to be charged £60 for an engineer callout only to be told that the engineer will not carry out the required work is thoroughly disreputable - furthermore, when I told them that the policy is now worthless to me they stated that, should I wish to cancel it, there will be an "administration" charge approximately equal to the remainder of the 12 months payments! Further and, hopefully last, comment on this. As a result of the last two paragraphs Corgi customer service contacted me (they told me that the reason for the contact was this review). They appeared sympathetic to my arguement and offered for a different engineer to attend - I accepted this offer. The engineer has now contacted me and advised me that his visit is not to investigate and resolve my problem - his instructions are to do no more than take a water sample and send it for analysis; should that analysis reveal the presence of any contaminant, e.g. limescale or iron oxide, then my claim would still be refused. He also explained that the sample would be taken NOT from my system but from the heat exchanger SUPPLY side - he was clear in his belief that the breakdown was not caused by system sludge but by limescale in the water supply! When I put it to him that, in the area in which I live (hardest water in the UK), these contaminants will most certainly be present, he agreed. He also didn't take issue with my analysis that, whilst his visit was clearly intended to seek evidence to support Corgi's stance on this matter, it would not lead to any resolution of the problem. I have now cancelled his visit and hope to have nothing further to do with Corgi - ever. And my advice to you, dear readers, is that, unless your water supply is comprised solely of pure water containing zero trace elements, any money paid to this company for boiler insurance will be wasted money.
