Really pleasing outcome after a bit of confusion initially about cover for a home emergency. Nick has been brilliant, thorough, empathetic and did what a lot of customer service operatives don't do in the UK, followed up and did what he said he would do. A credit to the firm. Thanks Nick.

Dedicated Engineer

The engineer turned up at what must have been near the end of his shift
Looking at the job he said it would be difficult but he got on with doing it and checked everything was working before he left over an hour later. Brilliant

I would like to thank Katie

I would like to thank Katie, she was very helpful with an issue I had at a property.
It took three visits to fix the issue as it wasn't an easy issue to diagnose. As it went from a drainage team to a plumber. This caused a lot of stress but Katie was quick to find solutions and calm when I was getting frustrated. I am very grateful to her and the people that fixed the issue.

Thank you Paul

I had an issue with my boiler just before Christmas where I had a leak and didn’t have any hot water or heat. I called Preferred Management who said they would send out an engineer asap. Unfortunately I have LPG so there was limited engineers who was LPG registered who were available with it being Christmas holiday time. My husband was due to come out of hospital,
And obviously we needed him to come home with warmth and hot water. PMS pulled out all the stops to get an LPG engineer which they did. Paul who worked there, was amazing he did everything possible to make sure we was going to be ok. He rang us constantly to make sure we were ok and kept us updated. So thank you Paul for all your help and support. We got there in the end, so all is good. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I’m really glad to hear that Paul was able to assist you during such a stressful time, especially over the Christmas period. It’s wonderful to know that he went above and beyond to keep you updated and ensure you had hot water and heating when you needed it most. Your kind words mean a lot, and I truly appreciate your recommendation. I’m so happy everything worked out in the end and that your husband could come home comfortably.

Avoid at all costs

Avoid at all costs. They will drive you insane!
I took out a landlord’s emergency repair contract with Direct Line Insurance around 5 years ago. It was very good for a while but then they recently changed to Preferred Management Solutions to handle emergency home repairs.
Direct Line make al kinds of claims about giving you unlimited call outs covering the cost of any repairs up to £1500 per visit. This appears to be a bogus and false claim.
Back in August my tenant’s boiler started to break down and lose pressure.
The bath tap also failed.
Over the course of about a month they sent out 4 so called heating engineers who could not diagnose or repair the boiler or tap faults.
They then promised that an engineer would come out to pressure test the system. We waited a month, but no one ever turned up.
I had to chase around 10 times via phone calls etc but got nowhere with any help.
So, I had to get my own engineer to replace the tap that just had a faulty valve insert.
He also tested the boiler and found that it had a faulty heat exchanger. Preferred Management Solutions engineers had failed to identify a serious fault.
By then nearly three months had gone by and the boiler had been breaking down twice per week.
Preferred Management said they would refund my costs of £144 paid to my engineer and compensate us for the inconvenience to my tenants.
Direct Line also claim on TV adverts that if they can’t repair your boiler they will replace it.
Three months later Direct Line and Preferred Management Solutions are not returning my emails and can’t be bothered to help.
The only thing they are good at is thinking up multiple excuses to not help.
My tenant’s boiler is now breaking down three time per week.
I now have a repair bill of £2000 with no promised help from Direct Line or Preferred.
I am now reporting this to GAS SAFE as I am concerned that their engineers are not able to diagnose serious boiler faults.
I am also reporting this to the Financial Ombudsman and Resolver
Avoid at all costs. Both companies will drive you insane!

Thank you for taking the time to share this detailed feedback, and I’m very sorry to hear about the experience you and your tenants have had. What you’ve described falls far below the standard of service we aim to provide, and I completely understand your frustration regarding the delays, repeated visits, and lack of clear communication.

We take concerns about engineer performance, missed appointments, and unresolved repairs extremely seriously. Your comments regarding the boiler issues, the tap repair, and the communication difficulties are particularly concerning, and we would like to look into your case urgently to understand exactly what has happened and how we can put this right.

So that we can speak with you directly and investigate all aspects of your complaint, could you please email us at feedback@wearepreferred.co.uk
with your policy details and preferred contact information? This will allow us to review your case thoroughly, address your concerns, and work towards a resolution as quickly as possible.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, and we hope to have the opportunity to resolve this with you directly.

A miss diagnosed leak caused major problems for our downstairs neighbour. Communications were incredibly poor. In the end, it took over 2 weeks and multiple phone calls to resolve. After that we received an inaccurate response to the complaint we made about the extremely poor service we had received.

Excellent service

I rang UW as I had a leak from my boiler.
This company managed the call.
They have been excellent from start to finish.From the first call to communicating by chat after the call, the chat responder was really professional and helpful too.They responded within 24hrs.
They were all polite, professional, efficient and very helpful.
The engineer they sent ‘Matthew’ was equally as good, he was a pleasure to have in my home.He had all of the above attributes as well as being respectful and tidy. Good job well done, thank you.
