Hi Paul, thank you for taking the time to leave this review. We're genuinely sorry to hear about your mother's experience and want to address your concerns seriously.

What you've described, an engineer suggesting he carry out private work on the side, is something we take extremely seriously and is a direct breach of our code of conduct. This is not behaviour we tolerate under any circumstances.

We would very much like to investigate this matter fully so that appropriate action can be taken. Please could you contact our manager directly at ronni@villageheating.co.uk with the date of the visit and your mother's property address so we can identify who attended and take action as a priority.

We're sorry this has been your experience, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention.

VHL Support Team are slow to respond to emails

The admin's response times for the online webform enquiry and direct emails could definately be improved as it took several attempts over 10 days to get any progress. My third email was CC'd to three representatives in office but typical that neither of them took the initiative to inform me they had arranged for a technician to attend that evening. Nevertheless my persistence paid off as I was pleased when Wai Hong arrived at my door at the end of his day around 6pm to repair the faulty boiler. Finally!
I see him as another example of an engineer on the frontline who is a proven asset to the company.
Thanks Wai, I honestly hope the supervisors at VHL give you credit for your good effort.

Engineer Madison was exceptional

Engineer Madison was exceptional. The knowledge and attention to detail was incredible, but most of all, her desire to solve my problem and really get to the root of the issue made me feel like someone genuinely cared. Madison is a real asset to the VHL team, thank you.

Boiler broke down leaving us with no heating or hot water. So spoke to my brother in law and he recommended VHL being as he’d used them in the past. Phoned up and spoke to a women called Aeva who could not of been more helpfull. She managed to get us booked in for the next day. All sorted now, it turned out to be a faulty flow return valve that was fixed in under an hour. Overall a very professional service

Mary’s Dilemma

My dear Mum rang me in a panic as her boiler was having issues. Not knowing who to call, a friend recommended VHL.
This was a Saturday so I didn’t think I’d get anywhere fast but took a chance and rang them. Aeva took my call who listened to my “drama” and gave assurances all would be sorted the next day. And if by magic it was. Can’t praise the company enough, massive thanks to Aeva and the out of hours team

5 star experience

I dealt with Georgia and she was incredible from start to finish! At such a frustrating time for me she was so polite and considerate through the whole process. She really put my mind at ease and got me a gas engineer as soon as she could! I can’t thank Georgia enough for her politeness and compassion in my hour of need! She is a credit to any team! Well done Georgia and thank you 😊

Georgia

I had a great experience with Georgia. She was incredibly polite, understanding, and helpful from start to finish. She handled everything so efficiently and made sure a gas engineer was arranged to come out to my home quickly, which I really appreciated. Her professionalism really stood out for me! 🥰
