SERVICE WITH A SMILE

We hade a routine boiler service scheduled for Wednesday 26th August, the Gas Engineer DAVE arrived promptly at 08:00. Unfortunately having serviced the boiler and switching it back on things started to go wrong, DAVE remained very calm, very professional keeping me advised along the way, unable to resolve some of the issues DAVE returned the next day with the necessary spares and sorted it out everything running perfectly, thank you British Gas and a BIG THANK YOU TO DAVE service with a smile

Terrible custom care.

Joined British Gas over 2 months ago. They used wrong opening reading - over 2000 more than the correct reading for my first statement they used this reading and ignored meter and smart meter readings. I have been trying to in for 2 months to get this rectified. I have numerous emails saying they looking at this but every time I phone I am told it will take another 14 days. Despite the claim being escalated I was told again it would be another 14 days. They won’t let you speak to anyone who can actually correct this . That even have readings from their own engineers worst decision I ever made to move to British Gas.

Hi Bess,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear about the difficulties you've experienced since joining British Gas.

We understand how frustrating it must be to have provided the correct opening meter readings and to still be facing delays in getting your account updated. We appreciate that you've been trying to resolve this for over two months and that being repeatedly advised to wait longer has added to your frustration. We’d appreciate the opportunity to investigate this further. Please contact us via private message on Facebook, X, LinkedIn, or Instagram and include #Trustpilot along with a brief summary of your review so we can assist as soon as possible.

Exasperated

Totally peeved with British Gas. Been trying to change tariff for nearly a month. Cant do it online because of a ‘technical problem’. Numerous chats. Zero progress. One assistant even told me it had been changed whilst we talking. Lie or mistake? Hmmmmmm

My customer number is : A25209624

Hi Inglebert,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We're sorry to hear about the difficulties you've experienced while trying to change your tariff.

We understand how frustrating it must be to spend nearly a month trying to resolve this, especially after encountering technical issues online and having multiple conversations without a clear outcome.

Went above and beyond duties

My British Gas engineer Ben went above and beyond his duties my mum is 76 years old and couldn’t move a coat stand that was blocking the cupboard for the gas meter and bless him he moved it for her. Excellent customer service fixed the oven and was friendly, polite, and professional.

Great Gas Boiler Service

Lawrence our British Gas Engineer was punctual & friendly. He gave very good heating advice on my heating system and a comprehensive service. He talked through the advantages of having a more comprehensive British Gas warranty cover. He did this in a very easy to understand & none pushy way. We highly recommend Lawrence & British Gas!
