Cet are excellent

Cet are excellent. I called them at 4.30 p.m. on Bank holiday Saturday and their engineer arrived at 10 a.m. on Bank holiday Sunday. They are extremely efficient and keep you fully informed throughout the process. I highly recommend them.

Not worth even one star.

Not worth even one star.

Logged a claim 24 hours later issue still remain inspite having the home emergency cover.

The contractor plumber called to say he’s stuck in traffic and was given the wrong address. CET say they have the correct address and was shared. Upon questioning now it becomes the Plumber couldn’t access the property. Is it access , address or traffic?
The plumber could call to say he can’t attend due to incorrect address but couldn’t call me to get the right address if he was genuinely assigned or wanted to fix the issue?

Or just didn’t want to do the job, today.

You pay for a service you don’t get it value in return and this is poor zero star service

CET were arranged by my insurance company and I was really impressed with the speed of the service. The plumber arrived in under two hours and sorted the problem within 15 minutes. He was professional, efficient and got everything working again quickly. Would definitely recommend.

No emergency cover whatsoever

My boiler broke down 10 days ago. An engineer came two days later. Since then it has been a catalogue of errors and endless apologies. They have not contacted me ONCE in all this time, even though they promise to each time I call. My case has been 'escalated' that many times I've lost count - and still no response. Have now given them an ultimatum: sort it or we're off to court.
