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!

Generally very good at servicing but I object that they will only service your boiler every 15 months instead of 12.

British Gas for boiler repair

We had a British Gas engineer out this morning to fix a broken plastic pipe from our boiler. The engineer was really friendly and cheery and easy to chat with. He answered my questions and reassured me on some things and then quickly fixed the pipe, in no time at all! I was happy to receive a text around 30 mins before arrival with the expected time of arrival too, which is super helpful. It was also really easy to book our appointment on line. I really recommend the service British Gas provided and I’m glad we have boiler cover with them, too!

I have been with British Gas for last…

I have been with British Gas for last 15years and am disabled and I always get good service from British Gas home. Services, I have full cover and engineers are always polite and helpful and I get call when they are arriving and within time stated .
British Gas offers services which I would struggle to find myself , but engineers always help make it easier for me .
So I get my electrical repairs and plumbing and boiler with one call and they do the rest , including my appliances which are covered .

Saves me money and time finding different contractors else which I won't know or have any credibility.
All engineers are certified by the company themselves.
So it's a peace of mind to know they are all qualified and accredited.

Quick to get my boiler making

I had a service and parts replacement for my boiler. The engineer immediately fixed a part form his van stock and got the boiler working. He ordered additional parts from their central depot and fitted these two days later. British Gas are not the cheapest but very competent, quick to respond to call outs and make fixes very quickly. The Home Care British gas agreement works very well. The engineer was very friendly and kept me informed during the visit. Totally reliable. Peace of mind is worth a lot to me.
