Really appreciate the review regarding the Ideal Boiler fault DS error witht he emergency call-out you had and the new guy Matthew was helpful and freindly.
Excellent job
Excellent, cannot state enough how professional and reassuring Ged, the gas heating engineer was. Came to do the job properly after the run around by another worker. Prompt, clean, honest: fixed the boiler, checked everything else thoroughly, showed me what to look for and explained. Interesting that he saved me buying a new boiler, saying it was fine as the previous worker was telling me to ( buy from him).Also, looked into a radiator. Less stress and hassle with this company. The owner was also courteous and communicated well. Brilliant to see people taking pride in their work. Thank you

Hi, appreciate the review and I remember speaking to you yesterday morning. I can see that we've been giving Ged plumbing emergencies, boiler breakdown work since 2017 and could be longer as I cant see records beyond that. I'm happy that the engineer met your expectations and possibly more saving you further costs to a boiler you didn't need. Thank you.
Disgusting
This company charged me over £100 for putting me in touch with an electrician when I thought they were the electrician.
I pointed out that I would not have paid over £300 for an electrician just to look at the job. I would have contacted the electrician myself not used a go between for that money.

Dear Brenda, either you review the wrong company or you was fully aware of how we operate. All our clients are aware of the cost before we give the service in writing and for you to respond to the text confirming the cost by reply. We believe our business is outstanding in transparency. If you would like to make an official complaint, our email address is martin@ephg.limited. I'm not sure where you got the cost of over £300 from and maybe you had further work done past the hour and charges are not based on just looking. If I'm reading between the lines, we do state in the text message we estimate 90% of call-outs for electrical emergencies being complete on first visit, so my only assumption was that it wasn't an average emergency and further work was required for one reason or another. Conclusion: Client fully accepts costs, engineer arrives then decides they no longer like the cost. On behalf of the company, I'm sorry you feel this way and we don't feel the review is fair on behalf of our clients mistake.
Very prompt service & helpful engineer.

Hi Pauline, really appreciate the review and happy the assigned emergency electrician Dennis was able to help you in your time of need. Thank you
A very expensive middle man!
I called EPHG in an emergency to have a trapped bird removed from my chimney. My gas fire had to be removed to let the bird out.
A contractor, K J Trading, came out and did a fine job. They removed the gas fire, let the bird out safely and then replaced the gas fire. K J Trading told me that they had never actually heard of EPHG, so it dawned upon me that I had paid EPHG £180 just to be introduced to K J Trading.
I don't mind paying an introduction fee, but £180? Seems very excessive to me. It was roughly equivalent to what I paid the contractor to actually do the job.

Dear Lloyd, first of all, I'm glad you had a good job done and I wish you the best for the future.
In regards to the engineer not knowing who we are, that is very unlikely which we can provide evidence of text messages if you send us an email to martin@ephg.limited
All our clients are fully made aware of the rates prior to the booking and to seal the booking, our clients are asked to reply to a text message to confirm they are in receipt of the callout fee paid and are fully aware on what further costs to be paid and then we send a text message with the engineers name and phone number afterwards.
If our clients arn't happy with the cost prior to the job, they can easily ask for the payment to be stopped instead of confirming or confirming and asking for the job to not go ahead at the same time.
If, and I say 'IF', an engineer says they don't know us, then that isn't fair on our company as we try to provide the best service we can. The main thing is, you seem to be happy with the engineers work and just put it down to a misunderstanding.
Reliable from the outset
From the first phone call... everything was explained to me from pricing, timescales, to contact details for the engineer. My boiler was leaking - water everywhere. When the engineer came he discovered what the problem was immediately and stopped the water leak. This company deserves full credit for all aspects of their communication and engineering skills.

Hi, glad the water leak was sort and hope the repair is straight forward. Appreciate the review and thank you.
Five star service
Martin was very helpful and he and Ben got an emergency plumber out to me in less than 40 minutes after I'd been badly let down by another company. Javid the plumber was great, very friendly and efficient. Well worth the call out fee, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend EPHG to anyone.

Charged 300£ for 10 min work.
Charged 300£ total, for 10min of work. Contractor come investigate the leak, he suggested that need re silicone inside shower. He done and total cost 300£ for 10 min work. Fantastic!
When contractor left we investigate again and found more leaks under the sink so this company only take money and nothing else.

Dear [Customer],
I'm truly sorry to hear that you were dissatisfied with our service, but I must clarify that the account you have provided is not accurate based on our records. To date, we have not received any prior complaints regarding this matter apart from asking for your deposit back.
I understand that there may have been some confusion around the term "deposit." During our conversation, it appeared there was a misunderstanding about its meaning. In the context of our service agreement, a deposit is a non-refundable fee that secures the booking and covers the initial costs associated with dispatching the engineer. We make every effort to ensure this is communicated clearly to all our clients.
Additionally, we always provide written confirmation of costs via text message before proceeding with any service. In this case, we sent a message detailing the call-out fee and the minimum one-hour charge, which you confirmed in writing. Initially, this was denied; however, upon reviewing the evidence, it was acknowledged that you did indeed confirm the terms.
Regarding the issue of additional leaks, I was not informed of any further concerns until reading your review. If there are unresolved issues or misunderstandings, I would be happy to address them. Please feel free to reach out to me directly at martin@ephg.limited so we can resolve this matter to your satisfaction.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention, and I hope we can clear up any remaining confusion.
Kind regards,
Martin Smith

I’ve received a 1-star review, assuming this review is from you, however, in the review, I’ve learnt something new and that is that you still have water leaks and reading into the review, I’m not sure if this is the fault of the engineer we sent out to you or not, as it isn’t clear enough. What I can say is that we’re of the opinion that we run an outstanding complaints department.
The aim of this first email to you this morning is for two things, one being the review, and the other is to ask if you need a return visit from the contractor that attended. So can I ask you to outline the issue and why you believe the contractor should return in accordance to the agreement.
I would then like to ask is the following review a review that you had made:

Hi. Glad the issue resolved itself and I assume the engineer didn't have anything to do, or maybe he did, but in any case, we really appreciate the review and thank you for using our services.

It's always a worry coming back home to a leak, which I normally turn the water off myself. I hope there wasn't too much damage and glad the engineer got to you quickly with a fix. Really appreciate the 5 star review and thank you.
Brilliant service
The 24 hour helpline answered after just a few rings, they coordinated my emergency burst pipe well with the plumber, they arrived quite fast through some bad traffic.
Worked continuously for 2 hours until the problem was found and fixed.
Amazing work. Gave us great piece of mind to go back to sleep.
