New radiator

Job to attach new radiator to the wall as the previous one had fallen off and I was looking to get it replaced. £50 deposit paid. Was told it would be £95 an hour, they would take 1.5hrs to remove and cap off old radiator and make wall good, go collect new radiator, 1.5hrs to attach new radiator. Metro Plumb came to house and said couldn't attach new radiator (which I purchased in advance to save time) on wall as wall needed a wooden support adding, he said no radiator could go on that wall or any other wall in the room, despite there being a radiator on this wall for as long as the house has had central heating (est. 50+ years). Didn't cap off or make old radiator safe. Spent 20 minutes in the house telling me why he couldn't do the job then told me I needed to pay for the "hours" he was here. I said no, as no work had been carried out. He called his manager as I refused to pay. After he left, I rang to complain and ask for my deposit back. Lots of excuses made and days went by. It transpired they had only booked themselves 1 hour to do a 3-4 hour job. Could see he wasn't interested in doing the job when he got here. They refused to refund the £50 deposit. I'm out of pocket with no work done at all, not even the old radiator capped off and it is still hanging off the wall waiting for a local plumber to arrive. Would avoid this company. Northumberland area.

There was water leakage on the kitchen ceiling, the plumber came, looked at radiator upstairs, and judged that the leakage was from there. "It is the duty of the Heat Engineer" , after throwing this sentence, he left.

From started to end, he used ONE minute.

How could he be so confident with his ONE minute judgement?

The Heat Engineer came , examined the boiler, water pressure normal, no leakage. And the engineer found a crack in the bathroom, he did the plumber's part.

Well done Metro Plum, some other professionals did your job.

Communication was great

Communication was great. Regular and swift progress updates on status of our enquiry, order and subsequent installation. Very prompt on the 3 occasions a plumber had to attend after a mishap Thames Water caused to our home. The Part arrived on a Monday, were notified on the Tuesday that a plumber would fit it on Weds and in fact they sent someone that same afternoon. In fairness, the plumber said they were fairly quiet at the moment, but the service was most efficient.

Called out for emergency jobs, but only shut of water.

They added a new easier water shut-off valve as our stopcock had seized.
But considering they were also supposed to fix the actual leak issue in the attic, and didn't actually bring a ladder..... so did not even step foot in there, leaving the issue unresolved. They cannot receive a higher star rating from me I'm afraid.

Excellent service

Mohammed the plumber who attended was very good. He has 20+ years experience and was able to identify the issue with low pressure for my water at my property. He dealt with the issue swiftly and provided guidance on how to maintain the internal stop valves. Thanks Mohammed

A guy knocked on my door around 4/30,ish in the aft...it was getting dark...he stood there in what I would describe a black tracksuit with the wor METRO on it.. ..he said he wanted to check my boiler because of a problem with not hot water after Thames water was doing repairs at the back of my property...he had NO identification on him and no tool kit...I refused to let him in...he said he'd left identification etc in his van up the road...I told would NOT be allowed on.my property...he came back a shirt while later grinning holding up an identification card I could not read and carried...not good reassurance in my books.

Disappointing

Our toilet had stopped flushing. It took 3 weeks and 3 visits to finally get it repaired.
On all 3 occasions, no appointment was made, they just turned up.
Very unhappy wih the whole aspect of it, including Domestic & General.
It's not wirth taking out a policy, it was such hard work to get it fixed.
