    ANOTHER VULNERABLE PENSIONER EXPLOITED

    Posted 26 January

    AVOID THIS BUSINESS AT ALL COSTS, especially if you are an old aged pensioner. They charged a vulnerable 92 year old nearly £2,000 to replace a boiler pump, valve and to supposedly flush out the system (with a vacuum cleaner!). The call out charge was £150.00. SCAF advertise a discount for pensioners, so I hate to imagine what they normally charge for a non urgent call out. To add insult to injury the boiler stopped working within two days and another plumber had to be called to rectify the same problem.

    AVOID

    Posted 25 January

    AVOID if you are a pensioner and live on your own. I contacted this person as I have used 2 other trades people from here are they were excellent so thought this one would be. They charged me near £4,000 to s&f a boiler. This included a WiFi thermostat that he charged £300 but found it can be brought for £50 online. I put in a complaint but as I paid in cash nothing could be done. This person even said I was not a customer yet I had written proof he installed the boiler. This person cannot be trusted.
