Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 1,538 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently praise the staff for their excellent skills, professionalism, and helpfulness, often highlighting their ability to communicate well and provide good advice. Many reviewers appreciate the prompt response times and efficient service, noting that engineers arrive quickly and resolve issues effectively, often going the extra mile. People also value the company's reliability and the thoroughness of their work, ensuring problems are fixed completely. However, some customers found the service to be expensive, with concerns about pricing and charges for parts or diagnostic visits that did not lead to a resolution. A few other people also felt that the customer service was occasionally inadequate, citing issues with communication, slow responses, or a lack of empathy from office staff. There were also instances where reviewers reported that initial inspections were not thorough, leading to prolonged issues or recommendations for costly replacements without proper troubleshooting.

Disingenuous, dishonest and totally inadequate

I would give zero stars if possible because my appliance still is not fixed. I do have to say that the call handlers are very friendly and try to be helpful but their charging policy is not fit for purpose. However as a single teacher who cannot take time off to wait for an engineer I previously found them convenient and flexible for central heating issues. However I booked ( an expensive) visit with a washing machine engineer because my machine was leaking. He made a cursory inspection, did not listen to any of my concerns and said bar tightening the seal for the pump found nothing wrong. My washing machine is still leaking and I have only been able to do very small short washes to minimise the escape of water. When I called Pimlico today the plumber responded that it must be another issue that had occurred since his visit as he found nothing wrong. Pimlico said the only service they could offer me was an assessment of the work done ( which evidently was non existent) and if they felt their work was satisfactory and that the leaking was a ‘new issue’ they would have to charge me for another visit. This is the second time in a year where Pimlico have asked me to pay an additional charge because the issue was not fixed on the first visit. Their guarantee of work done is not fit for purpose and one wonders whether first visits are encourage to be cursory so that new charges can be added. I obviously told Pimlico that I was not prepared to take the risk of another charge, bearing in mind that the engineer was so unsatisfactory. I have asked another company to come and look but quite frankly I am at the point where it might just be easier to order a new washing machine ( despite the current one being less than 4 years old and an expensive brand). I am totally disgusted with Pimlico Plumbers and their disingenuous engineers.

We rang Pimlico plumbers as an emergency water leak had occurred, they sent out relevant drain specialist the same day and he then recommended that a plumber would come the next day and would also be needed to order and refit parts we needed to complete the job. it was a bit expensive as Plumber and Drain specialist needed separate payments for the work they did. Overall we are happy that there was a solution to the leak and repairs were done.

Called their service to have my boiler issue repaired. The engineer did just open the case, just had a visual check, gave me an inflated repair quote (no details of which part costs what etc.) and tried to push for a full boiler replacement. Was a complete waste of my money, unfortunately.

Really shocking service

Really shocking service. Be warned. Still waiting for a refund for services not provided three weeks ago, after they sent a guy to dispose of our fridge who did not know that you can’t saw a fridge in half without knowing how to carefully remove and dispose of the toxic refrigerant first. (Even though I had mentioned this multiple times on the phone and checked they would send someone appropriate). They actually sent two guys too - the first guy never turned up, the second guy a few days later was about to unsafe saw the fridge when I had to stop him. Was promised a refund that hasn’t arrived yet, and not yet had a response to my urgent email. If it doesn’t get sorted out soon k will be taking them to the small claims court. I’ll never use PP again.

Hi Francesca,

We are very sorry to read about your experience and understand your frustration regarding the appointment and the service provided.

We appreciate your concerns around the safe removal of the fridge and the disruption caused on the day.

For context, the booking was made for the dismantling and removal of a freestanding fridge freezer from a basement location, with notes recorded at the time confirming that the ceiling had been lowered post-installation, potentially requiring the unit to be broken down for removal. The booking also confirmed that two engineers would attend, and that while every effort would be made to carry out the removal, it was acknowledged that we cannot guarantee the method of dismantling or the use of specific tools, and that we do not hold a specialist refrigeration decommissioning licence.

On attendance, our engineer identified that the ceiling height restriction prevented safe removal of the unit without further intervention. During initial works, the engineer began cutting the unit but stopped immediately upon identifying that the refrigeration system had not been decommissioned and that there was a risk associated with refrigerant release. At that point, work was halted in order to ensure safety, as further dismantling would require the system to be professionally de-gassed before removal could continue.

We are sorry for the inconvenience this caused on the day.

Having reviewed the matter, we can confirm that a refund was processed on Thursday 7 May. If this has not yet reached you, please contact our Customer Services team directly so we can urgently investigate this with our accounts department and ensure it is resolved without delay.

Kind regards,
Pimlico Plumbers
