Drainage problem

First technician (plumber) inspected the problem and decided he couldn't do the necessary job as he didn't have the correct skills. He phoned the office & another technician (drainage) was booked in for next day. This technician solved the problem. Impressive service & first class customer liaison by both guys.

After making my appointment via the answering machine and waiting in on the date arranged I had a phone call to say sorry we didn’t realise you had LPG fuel ! Why after being with you since Calor Gas , so many years it isn’t noted on your system ? One of the problems I find today is phone calls are all automated, when I did eventually get to speak to someone I’d been on the phone for twenty five minutes! Absolute Heating are very good, can’t fault there services, only wish they covered the Insurance policies too.

Hi Delia, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry that your annual service appointment did not go ahead as planned. Having reviewed the notes, I can see the original appointment had to be cancelled because an LPG-qualified engineer had not been assigned. A complaint was subsequently logged regarding this, and our Customer Relations Team offered a resolution in recognition of the inconvenience caused.

We understand your comments about our automated booking service. While we do offer automated options for convenience, customers can also contact us directly by phone to speak with a member of our team.

We're pleased to hear your comments about Absolute Heating and the service they provide, and we're sorry that this experience did not reflect the standard you expected from HomeServe. We certainly wish our customers to feel supported.

If you do have any further concerns, please feel free to reach out on heretohelpteam@homeserve.co.uk

cheap, but 11 months for price of 12

I have paid for 12 months insurance, but only get 11 months as you cant make a claim in the first month.
Why not just defer the start date and give a full 12 months.
Having said that, its enticingly cheap for the first 11 months

Thank you for your review and for sharing your feedback Jacqui.

We appreciate your comments regarding the initial 28 day exclusion period. This period only applies during the first year of cover and is designed to prevent claims for issues that may already exist when a policy is taken out. Once this period has passed, cover remains in place for the rest of the policy term and does not apply again at renewal. We're pleased to hear you're happy with the offer and we appreciate you choosing HomeServe.

The internal stopcock was seized

The internal stopcock was seized and in a really awkward spot.
The Engineer was very polite, friendly and somehow managed to replace the internals quickly and efficiently.
So glad I took the cover out, would recommend this everyone.

The engineer came to assess the problem. Water was coming up from the concrete floor. He said 'we don't work with concrete' and left. I paid £30 excess for nothing!

Thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear you were unhappy with the outcome of your claim. Having reviewed the engineer's notes, the source of the water was identified as a leak on the heating pipework and a follow-on appointment was arranged to carry out further investigation. Our records show this appointment was later cancelled after the matter was passed to your home insurer.

We also understand your concerns regarding the excess fee. I have asked for this to be reviewed in line with the terms and conditions of your policy, and the relevant team will assess this further.

If you do need any further assistance, please feel free to email us on heretohelpteam@homeserve.co.uk and we will be happy to help

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We're sorry to hear that you were unhappy with the outcome of the visit. Our records show that the engineer attended and carried out a repair to a leak affecting your toilet supply.

If this is not correct and you needed to arrange your own private engineer to complete the work, please contact us at heretohelpteam@homeserve.co.uk and we can look into this further.

Absolute disaster

Absolute disaster. Pretty pointless having insurance with you, as whoever comes in always says that the problem is not covered.
The previous time I had a problem with a tap, the gentleman was not able to fix it; this time I thought I had a leak. The guy came in, did not even measure the pressure anywhere, but made up his mind once, and of course he was wrong.
I ended up spending £ 60 for the visit for absolutely nothing.
I will certainly not renew my contract.

Hi Roberto, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that these experiences have left you dissatisfied with your cover.

Having reviewed the claims, the leak investigation found the pipework and connections under the bath were working correctly. The source of the water ingress was traced to deteriorated tiles and damaged grouting in the shower area, which unfortunately falls outside the scope of your policy cover. The engineer explained the findings during the visit and provided advice on the repairs needed.

Regarding the bath tap, the existing fitting was identified as an excluded tap type. Although this was not covered under your policy, we were still able to assist by arranging a return visit, where once this was supplied by yourself our engineer fitted the new part.

We appreciate your feedback and are sorry that the outcomes did not meet your expectations. I hope this helps to confirm. Terms and conditions are sent out each policy period, to ensure that coverage of each issue is clear.

If you do require any further assistance, please feel free to email us on heretohelpteam@homeserve.co.uk and we will be happy to help
