Boiler replacement

British Gas fitted my new Worcester boiler. It was straightforward from the start. Engineer was here promptly and carried out his work professionally without stopping. He left the property clean and tidy. I would recommend British Gas to anyone.

My engineer was fantastic

My engineer was fantastic, talked to me through the whole thing, and just a generally stand up guy. I was a little embarrassed about how messy my home was due to it being a chaotic six weeks school holiday and I've been recovering from a broken collar bone so unable to put the usual care and attention into my home. He was really reassuring, saying how he wasn't there to judge, just to do a job and get me my hot water. Made me feel much better, and a true credit to the service your company offers. I wish I could rate him higher than a 10/10

Hi Edward,

Thank you for your amazing five-star review! ⭐ We're so pleased to hear your engineer made such a positive difference. Recovering from a broken collarbone while navigating the school holidays can't be easy, and it's wonderful to know they put you at ease, kept you informed throughout, and reassured you that they were there simply to help get your hot water back up and running.

Your kind words about their professionalism, empathy, and support are fantastic to read. A score higher than 10/10 is about as good as it gets! 😊

Thanks again for choosing British Gas.

Engineer did not turn up to boiler service. Recieved a message at 1.10 saying he had failed to gain access depsite no call being recieved. On speaking to BG was told he had entered notes 1 hour previous to this so completely fabricated. Was offered £15 compensation but was told there would be no investigation as the engineer had said be had attended the property. I was then told because I had accepted compensation my complaint was closed. Awful service.
