    Cooker installation

    Posted 05 May

    The job was completed to a certain degree after multiple missed and rescheduled appointments with extensive email correspondence, causing repeated disruptions and waiting all day before having to chase updates. The issue raised wasn’t resolved or properly addressed and I was told it wouldn’t be dealt with. There was little willingness to try and improve the situation making the experience feel dismissive with emails that came across as passive aggressive rather than solution-focused. There was little regard for delivering a satisfactory job or customer satisfaction. Service was disappointing.

    Response from Whickham Plumbing & Heating Services Ltd

    What a shame to receive a review so far removed from our standard high rating. We avoid rescheduling appointments – this would only occur if we had an emergency call out/staff absence. The job instructed to quote for, was installation of a supplied cooker, to which we completed, and we are pleased to see that you have confirmed this. It was after this event that the scope of works you requested changed, namely, a repair to the uneven kitchen floor, and kitchen unit joinery works, both of which we advise on and explained was not a part of the original quote nor would a gas engineer undertake.

    This company responded immediately to my emergency. They carried out a tricky job efficiently and with care for my property. They came when they said they would and communication was good at all times. I would recommend them unreservedly.

    Fantastic service

    Posted 03 December 2025

    I rang in a panic after putting a screw through a floorboard but also a hot water pipe. David was passing and managed to fix in 5 minutes. Refused to take any money. They also fitted a large combo in our last house which went perfectly. 5 Stars
