0 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.Verified reviewerJob location: CO3- MMuneeb B

Posted 25 January
Job location: CO3AVOID 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.9.33 Emergency burst pipe
