Paul Wilde- Excellent service
Paul Wilde dealt with my issue, showed empathy and kept to time the lines that he said he would. He resolved my issue which I cannot thank him enough for.

Surplus to requirements...one of those companies that just seems to exist for no useful reason.
One of those companies that seems to be a largely unnecessary and disappointing layer in a process. Were engaged to handle pest invasion through our insurer. Offered a choice of ''next available appointments' chose one, cancelled a day's work to accommodate only to be told that this wasn't actually an appointment so work won't take place until a day later with an all day offer with 30 mins notice....so would probably have been cheaper to sort it with a local contractor myself when factoring in lost paid work. Utterly pointless and useless organisation letting both their client and the end user down.

Avoid this company at all costs
Avoid this company at all costs. Very unprofessional. Three engineers to sort out an issue. The first heating engineer that turned up was actually an electrician who had just come to tick the box that they had they had arrived in the agreed time scale the second engineer arrived had a look and left without returning.
The third engineer did try to repair the issue but admitted it was above his skill set.
The office staff never return emails or phone calls stating that they are in meetings. Please be aware if you have to deal with Erin, She's very unprofessional.
I ended up getting my own plumbing and heating company who fixed the issue with no problem whatsoever.
Whilst I did receive some compensation it was nothing near to the figure it just cost me.
I hope I never have to deal with this company or its staff ever again in the future.

Simply the worst...
Simply the worst... if I could leave them 0 stars I would.
They are the company that get passed work from Allianz home emergency but a group that doesn't honour the work.
They came to do an emergency roof repair on the 9th January which was 3 weeks after the emergency call was logged. The temp. repair lasted days before flapping about in the wind, it failed. A temp. repair should last 30 days.
I rang Allianz the home emergency team again to explain what happened and they instructed PMS to return to redo. the repair as it had failed. During my communications with PMS I've been told that my insurance company have given them the okay for a permant repair and that they were communicating this with my insurance, thus providing me with assurance that it's in hand.
However this is not the case and my roof problem has been getting worse. Allianz are slow to assist and PMS have not reached out to fix their temp. repair, they are a shambles and provide underhand (mis)information.
Do not use. I'm following this up with the ombudsman.
EDIT - I've made contact but they fail to reach out or reply

Morning Mr Buchanan,
I hope this message finds you well. I was sorry to hear about your recent experience regarding your requested boiler service. I am aware of your case and can see that a complaint has already been logged.
However, I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to speak with you directly . If you're open to this, please feel free to email me at feedback@wearepreferred.co.uk. I will arrange a convenient time with you for a call.

Thankyou Rachel
My experience is rated 5 stars solely based on the customer service provided by Rachel who actually went over and above when my insurance company refused to pay for a tradesman. I disagreed with my insurance company’s decision and raised a complaint. Unknown to me Rachel also challenged that decision which resulted in a full refund. Amazing as I don’t think she had to do but cared enough to challenge the system for me. I wish there were more people like Rachel.

Has issues with boiler following a boiler service. And poor communication between 3 parties. Eventually dealt with a great lady called June at Boiler Central . Eventually had another engineer out to complete the check of leaking water condensation. He showed me what it was the reason etc. I'm female and 64 and was not treated as an old fuddy duddy. That was really appreciated.
