10 Boiler Replacement
Posted 23 January
Initially called out to repair our old boiler, turns out the parts are no longer available. So was quoted a replacement boiler to be fitted to the existing system, a date was set (which was kept) and at 8.30 prompt Joe turned up and first thing he did was to lay down carpet protectors. Decided best location for the boiler, kitchen soon to be replaced. The old boiler was removed and new boiler duly installed, gas and existing pipework was adapted to suit (no mean feat) Electrician working in conjunction did his bit, boiler working perfectly, premises left clean and tidy, thoroughly recommend.Verified reviewerJob location: TN24- DDebby D

Thanks Phil n co for all your help. very satisfied 😌Verified reviewerJob location: TN24 - JJeff B
4.33 A lot of money for no result.

A little disappointed. Booking made for call out (1 hour min) for leak repair. Plumber arrived (polite and on time) but was present for less than 10 minutes with advice that he could do nothing and best to call insurance company. £108 charge with VAT. Whilst understanding companies need to pay wages and make money, this felt excessive by all measures - particularly as other companies offer free quotation/visits and could have offered the same advice. An expensive lesson learnt.Verified reviewerJob location: CT1Response from Acorn Domestic Repairs Ltd
Mr Brunger We do have to charge for our visit & as you say you were aware of this. If you could get someone out for free why did you not. ? Left home at 7.53, arrived at 8.31 on time & left at 8.52. We have to allow time for customer's that live in the centre of canterbury & On this occasion you paid for my knowledge, not what I did. I suggested you contact your insurance company to see if they cover your mains water pipe, I was trying to give you good advice some people forget they could be covered. No Plumber would touch your mains stop valve as valve outside does
10 Professional Company
Posted 11 January
Very good experience right from the very first phone call. I struggled to find someone who would come out within 2 weeks to service the boiler and have a look at a potential fault. Acorn were the only ones who showed any interest. Gavin arrived bang on time and showed great care to the property, very kind and cheerful. The service was completed with no issues and he even had a look at the rest of the system and offered advice on the issue i was havin. Overall very happy and will be using Acorn for all future services. ThanksVerified reviewerJob location: TN25Response from Acorn Domestic Repairs Ltd
