“I have previously used plumbing force for boiler service, where they were excellent. I since used them for clog drains where the person came for 15 mins, said it was blocked and & another person would have to visit. Plumbing force later said that I would be charged for an additional call out without explain what work was required. After a complain they said that an engineer would visit between the hours of 9-2pm without charge to provide a quote, but they did not come. They then said they would come between 9-6pm (where I could not be delayed beyond 4:30) and could not keep that appointment neither. After ringing for a 6th time they have offered me a visit for the morning but could not guarantee they would make it. My low score is because they have charged me for the call out but it was not fully explained what the next steps were, even though on the phone they asked the engineer to explain & have not completed their commitment. I hope this is bad luck as opposed to the norm, as their gas visit was great a year ago.”

“Very easy to arrange. The specialist that came out was very helpful, although not able to save an old gas fire, went out of his way to find companies that would be able to help - very good service. Efficient and honest.”

“This review would have been 5 star except for the fact that PlumbingForce weren't able to provide a plumber within the initial timescale. Having said that we didn't have an emergency and it didn't matter. They aren't cheap but having tried to get other plumbers and assorted time wasters to come and fix our problem I was happy to pay the asking price just to have someone come out that would actually turn up. We were lucky; we had the polite, knowledgeable and skillful Danny come out to fit our new shower which he did, quickly end efficiently and from that side of things Plumbingforce were very good and I would highly recommend them.”

“Appointment was booked for 11-2, then postponed until 2-6, then cancelled altogether because the engineer is busy on other jobs. I can re-book but no guarantee of a first job tomorrow. very disappointing in an emergency with no heating or hot water and small children in the house. Not the service that is promised by the website.”

“After misdiagnosing a simple blocked pipe, and charging over £700 for 3 hours work and a pump that wasn't required (the pump they installed lasted all of 24 hours before it too broke), they have failed to respond to a complaint in writing, asking why one of their engineers seemingly took advantage of a vulnerable woman in a difficult situation. They actually intended to come back the next day to install vents that weren't required and charge even more. We have since had an independent engineer in, who cleared the pipe and replaced the pump for a fraction of the price - the only reason we needed a new pump was because the one they installed was broke. Use at your own risk.”

“The plumber was prompt and did a great job, Thank you. however dealing with the office staff was a very different story. They were rude and abrupt and used threatening behaviour, as a result of this we as a national company will not be using there services again.”

“Turned up, spent 20 mins fiddling about, then told me required qualified electrician to connect electric oven before he could do anything. So then left charging me full price for callout, even though he did nothing and was there for less than half an hour. Arranged for electrician to come straight away but engineer wouldn't wait for even five minutes Called office and they said they're engineer was correct as they don't do duel fuel cookers.”

“Put this on your fancy website and tell the public the truth. Call made 11am. Details of faulty hot water cylinder supplied. Explained I believe the product to be dangerous and have disconnected the item. We'll be therein 3 hours. Credit card details supplied. Two and a half hours later I phoned again requesting an ETA. Can't do that. Why not? Just can't. Exactly 3 hours after the first call was made I received a call from you. Apology given can't make today. Why not. The engineer is still at an emergency. No other details. Was it an emergency? I doubt it by what followed. Can't you send another engineer? We've only got one. What? One for the size of your company and the fancy website you produce? One in your area. Well why didn't you say that a the time of my initial call followed by taking my credit card details? Well we didn't know he'd be stuck in an emergency. Yes but you knew you only had ONE engineer!!!!!Put me through to someone in management. Mr McCleary answered. Calls repeated to him. Sorry about that. Is that it? Well what else do you want me to say? He actually asked me Well how long do you think a plumber will be stuck in an emergency? I asked to speak to another member of management but was told I'm the only one! His tone was sarcastic and with a couldn't give a damn attitude!!!!. Twenty minutes later a further call received. Do you want to cancel your appointment for tomorrow? I wasn't aware i had made one!!! Well we can visit you tomorrow.Please get off my line I'm trying to contact a professional plumber. All in all a pathetic excuse for a company. The website is littered with lies about same day guaranteed visits. And when complaining is met by a pathetic excuse for management. NEVER WILL I ATTEMPT TO USE TJIS COMPANY AGAIN. EMAIL SENT TO WHICH! MAGA,INE. Unsurprisingly the company isn't listed on checkatrade.com but if and when it does I will quickly repeat my experience.”

“We had Plumbingforce cancel our appointment twice and despite being were aware of the situation and let us down twice, which was frustrating. They made no effort to arrange for an alternative engineer to visit, which is the least I would expect given the charges and the website stating they deal with emergencies.”

“APPALLING Service!!!!! Avoid at all cost...... Plumbing Force were advised that the call was an emergency (no heating/no hot water). I was assured that someone would definitely attend the following morning and was also advised that the Plumbingforce engineer would call 30 minutes in advance of arrival. Nobody called - and, unsurprisingly, no one arrived to fix the problem....so still no heating and still no hot water! On calling the company again, was told that the first available slot would be in 3 days time. Emergency Service - ??? DEFINITELY NOT!!!”

“If I could rate it a 0/5 I would. 3 days taken off work and every time told the engineer was held up on a job and couldnt get to me. Now without a kitchen for Christmas as can't afford to take another day of work. Call staff rude and unhelpful. Worst service I have had.”
