Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 394 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Consumers frequently mention that the staff and visiting engineers are very polite, professional, and always keep customers well informed about arrival times. People truly appreciate how quickly urgent appointments are scheduled and how efficiently technicians complete the required plumbing or heating work in their homes. Some reviewers were not happy with the unusually high prices and expensive hourly rates charged for relatively straightforward minor household repairs. Conversely, a small portion of people felt deeply frustrated by communication difficulties, delayed phone responses, and occasional scheduling issues when trying to reach support.

Water flooding out of the ceiling

When water is cascading out of your light fittings downstairs and pooling on the floor, what you want is a calm, authoritative plumber to turn up and sort it out, That is what we had from Rightio.

Leaking shower

The call centre made clear visit plans and then Mike explained what was needed and then completed the work quickly and in a friendly manner.

Great on the phone.

Great on the phone, promised attendance same day and quoted a price. (Can’t understand why first hour charge inc call out fee, labour & parts would be same rate for subsequent hours tho?).
Turned up as promised. Contractor was sullen, discourteous and not customer friendly. Did the job fine, then tried to charge pensioner customer again for ‘parts’. Parts charge removed from invoice by their office with an unconvincing tale. I wondered if it was a common tactic used to get revenue up? Would be hesitant to use again.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. Unfortunately, we have been unable to identify your job from the information within your review, but we would welcome the opportunity to look into your experience in more detail.

To provide some clarity on our pricing, we charge an hourly labour rate for diagnostic and/or repair work, which remains the same for any part-hour thereafter. Materials are charged separately where required, and we do not charge a separate call-out fee.

We are concerned to hear your comments regarding the engineer’s manner and the attempted additional charge for parts. We would welcome the opportunity to review what happened, provide any appropriate feedback regarding the customer service you received, and clarify the adjustment made to your invoice.

We certainly do not intentionally overcharge our customers, and we are sorry that your experience left you with this impression.

Please contact us directly with your job details so that we can investigate this properly.

Toilet cistern repair

Craig arrived on time. Recognised problem straight away and set to. Fixed the problems and was a very clean and tidy worker.

Beware do NOT USE

Dear Rightio Customer Service Team,

I’m writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the inadequate service I received as part of your care package.

At the end of June, I contacted Rightio due to a leaking concealed toilet in my rental flat. Your plumber's initial attempt to fix the issue didn’t solve the leakage, which later caused further water damage in several rooms. I had difficulty reaching your service line, and eventually had to hire another plumber at my own expense. He found that the cistern was the real issue, and the repair cost me £690.

I was also not aware that the care package would lock me into a long-term contract until 2028. Given the inconvenience and lack of transparency, I'm requesting a reimbursement of the costs and cancellation of the package.

Yours sincerely,
Trudy Roberts

This is from the plumber who diagnosed and fixed the issue
He completed the below document:

Diagnostic
Investigate and diagnose cause of leak from the concealed cistern; leak found to be the fill valve which is continuously dripping water
into the cistern and not shutting off.
This is causing the water to rise in the cistern and drip through the cistern holes and then drop down through the cistern holes and leak
onto the floor and this is continuous due to the fill valve co Stanton dripping and not shutting off.
*This issue has had two visits from separate plumbers from RIGHTIO who have incorrectly diagnosed used the issue as the flush valve
and condensation both of these are incorrect diagnostics
£99 + vat
Total £118.80

The very helpful engineer came to…

The very helpful engineer came to service our boiler. However, it turned out that the boiler was leaking carbon monoxide and so he condemned the boiler and we are unable to use it. I have tried multiple times to ask the company to fit a new boiler, as I discussed with the engineer when he came to our house. However, it has been very difficult to get hold of the company again., I have spoken to someone on the phone on one occasion who promised me someone will get back to me, other times I have been unable to get through due to the phones being very busy. It looks like I’m going to have to find a different company to get a boiler fitted.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that our engineer was helpful during his visit and, most importantly, identified the safety issue with your boiler.

We are sorry, however, to hear about the difficulty you have experienced getting back in touch with us afterwards. We appreciate how frustrating this will have been, particularly when you were looking to arrange a replacement boiler following the engineer’s findings.

We would like the opportunity to identify your job and look into what has happened with the follow-up. Please contact our Customer Service team directly on 0808 208 1009, quoting your review, so we can investigate this further.

Called customer services

Called customer services , booked a plumber at 4.10 as toilet was leaking from isolation valve. Rocked up with no tools at 4.25 then asked me to sign something on his pad , I said aren’t I supposed to do this after he said no . Screws the valve , unscrews it’s now 4.40 , says we need to be quoted for a bigger job ( we told custome services exactly the issue ), then said well you do it? No picking my daughter up at 5 and left ,the get notification to say I’d been charged £150 .
In the process of returning money and complaint.
Let me show you what an experienced company did .
Came out later at 7,40 pm , bought tools, had nothing to do with the valve , put a whole new system in , secured the toilet , there no more than 40 mins , no out of hours call out charge , included parts for £20 cheaper and. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY YOU WILL REGRET IT .

This isnt an reactive emotional review

This isnt an reactive emotional review, this is exactly my experience as it was . Customer services seem friendly , book an emergency plumber at 4.10 , rocks up at 4.25 no tools whuch i thought was odd, asks me to sign a doc on arrival, I said Im supposed to do this when the job is finished ? he said not. Looks at job screws unscrews then says we need to be requoted as he needs parts . It was a simple job btw , leaking from the isolation valve . I asked if he could do it and he said no he’s got to get his daughter at 5, You won’t be charged Just left us with no working toilet then got charged £150 . Im in the process of getting my money back and filing a complaint . Couldn’t be bothered plumber , tried to get a quick easy job before he finished at 5 , realised it was a bit longer so left. No duty of care, no communication between office , charged me before getting requoted, which I'm sure is illegal . Process of returning money and filing a complaint Rang local plumber , who came out ,charged £20 less for out of hours and it had nothing to do with the valve but it knew that , took him 30 mins. Absolutely do not use

No show and poor customer service

Contacted them and received confirmation an engineer would be out between 12pm-5pm Saturday, no one turned up and no contact was made. Called them again Sunday morning, was told they would get back to me. Called me 10 minutes later to say they hadn't been able to contact the engineer but would keep trying. 4pm Sunday no one had called back and water is still dripping from my kitchen roof. Very poor service - wasted 1 and 1/2 days waiting for them.

Unreliable

Rang them at 1.30pm- said they would get to me within 2 hours.
Soon as i put the phone down i got a text saying i had been rescheduled to between 5 - 8pm and the engineer would call before arriving.
Its almost 10pm now and nobody has turned up or even called.
Tried to phone them - office closed and no answering machine.
Gave up.. and went to bed.

Hi Julia,

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience. Being given a revised arrival window and then receiving no further contact when nobody attended is understandably frustrating, particularly when you were left waiting until late in the evening.

This isn’t the level of communication or reliability we expect to provide. We’d like the opportunity to look into what happened and address this with you directly. Please contact our Customer Service team with your job details so we can investigate and assist.
