Would highly recommend!

I used Handy Experts for the first time last week and would definitely recommend them, I had a really great experience! The lady who took my initial call was friendly and helpful in getting everything booked in. And then the plumber who came was just brilliant! He honestly went above and beyond what I expected, I was so impressed. He fixed the leak and boiler quickly and efficiently and gave me great advice too - I felt like he really knew his stuff. Also I've had work done where they leave a real mess, but he was considerate in every way.

It's really hard getting fair priced, high quality tradespeople within the London congestion zone but finally I've found the company to use!

Very highly recommended! A big thank you to the team.

The original plumber only spent 20 minutes on the first visit & couldn't do very much as the cartridge couldn't economically be exchanged & so he recommended that we buy a complete new set of taps. We felt they could have come back & fit the new kitchen taps in the
remaining 40 minutes with the same payment but they wanted to charge for another hour's work.We eventually managed to get this figure down & agreed on a payment , but both plumbers were very knowledgeable, polite & professional & we are very happy with the work carried out.

Good communication, good results

Good communication, and they did what they said they'd do, for the price they said they'd do it. The only reason not to give a five star is that, we asked for the engineer to return after the heating stopped working following his visit, and were then met with an unexpected second call out invoice. But, when we explained to them we felt this was unjust, they immediately solved it and cancelled the charge. So all in all a great level of service, and we'd recommend.

Fuse tripped on CCU and wouldn't reset - no heating or internet

The service was prompt, with the electrician arriving within a few hours, recognising the urgency, and there was no extra charge for the emergency call-out. Hemal did his utmost to finish quickly and left the area clean. Easy booking, prompt assistance, knowledgeable staff, and simple payment process. I’ve used HandyExperts in the past and will definitely use them again.

Excellent service and efficiency.

I've been using Handy Experts for many years now. They are so efficient at dealing with problems. My rental flat had an issue with the boiler on one of the coldest days of the year and they sent someone out within 5 hours and fixed it. Their phone line always has someone at the end of it who is helpful and friendly. Can't fault them.

Deliberately misleading

Put job on Checkatrade, got their call within minutes. Very gushy woman who put me on edge immediately. I wanted 2 external security lights installed. She said it would be £99 ph, could not be much more as (and I quote) "they buy all the wiring and stuff in bulk". Agreed to an 8.00 - 1.00 slot 2 days later. On the day, electrician rings at 10.15 + says he can't come til after 1.00 now but can't say how much after 1.00. Also that it would be 4 or 5 HOURS work! When I said I had been quoted £300 by someone else he tried to argue it waz not possible! (The other electrician has since done the job for that price incl providing one of lights btw). I cancelled the electrician + sent Handy Experts an email detailing my unhappiness at wasting a day off work for this. They replied apologising and offered me £25 as compensation. I replied to accept this with my bank details but that was a week ago + nothing has been received. I will remember this and if I ever find untoward activity on my account I will be notifying the Police they had my bank details. I have submitted a complaint to Checkatrade about them too but they say it will take several days to appear.

Dear Victoria,
We appreciate all customer and feedback and look to learn from it. And we are sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations. However, we find the suggestion that we asked for your bank details to steal from you unfair. We did confirm to you that we process refunds by the end of each Friday, and after you provided your details on December 6th, your £25 compensation was issued on December 13th.
Kind regards,
The HandyExperts Team
