Quoted £140 to sort out boiler, charged £220. Hot water worked for all of 10 minutes after he left. Clearly he’d done a simple reset and charged us extra for the privilege. Our boiler is in the loft so it was hard to see what he was doing. My other half is off work with an infection and we have a disabled 4 year old son. He massively took advantage. We’ve tried to contact him to resolve the issue, he answered the phone once and admitted that he’s not confident with baxi boilers?! Absolute conman!! Will be taking it further.

I met Henry in May 2024 when he fitted several radiators. I contacted him again in October to service my oil burner, which was a costly error. When they say experience matters - this couldn’t more true with Henry. His inexperience when ‘servicing’ our boiler cost me dearly. The newly appointed (experienced) engineer confirmed that the boiler wasn’t actually serviced by Henry in accordance with the manufactures handbook. He then asked to see the service report that Henry had left. Henry didn’t leave this report and since January 2025 I’ve been asking him for this, to which he’s ignored me. Poor

Approved plumbers on the free WaterSafe register are vetted, qualified to the water regulations and insured. Check they're listed, or find a WaterSafe-approved plumber near you.
Check the WaterSafe registerAgree the call-out fee, the hourly or fixed rate, and whether parts are charged on top, in writing, before an emergency plumber starts. Out-of-hours overcharging and 'while I'm here' add-ons are common complaints.
Be wary of a plumber who, on a first visit, says your whole system or boiler must be replaced. Get a second opinion and an itemised quote (parts and labour separately) before agreeing to major work.
Gas and boiler work is a separate, regulated trade, not general plumbing. Make sure anyone working on a gas appliance is specifically registered to do gas work, and ask to see that registration before they start.
