The engineer arrived as scheduled. Said he needed to buy parts and left. Came back and worked for 1.5 hours and found a part of the hob needs replacement.
The engineer, Lewis, said while leaving that he will invoice for 2.5 hours and will need to come back when part arrives. I asked him to bill for less as actual work was less and not complete. He agreed for 2 hours.
Later the invoice arrived for 2.5 hours (£300 with parts included). When I mailed him to ask why the extra half hour, he stopped responding until I mailed the company. He is not agreeing to 2 hours now.
I will pay him but have decided to use British Gas to complete the test of the job.
Prompt, on time and professional.
I will be staying with these guys.
Gas Cooker Installation & Disconnection South Woodham Ferrers undertaken by TM Hughes & Son.
We are an established Plumbing & Heating company based in the local area. We will happily install your new cooker.
Using one of our Gas Safe registered engineers ensures your new cooker is fitted safely and legally to the cooker manufacturer’s guidelines. Correct fitting by a qualified engineer also ensures the cooker warranty is valid.
All cookers are fitted following a stringent procedure, which looks like this…
- An engineer with Gas Safe ID will arrive at your property at your pre-booked time and date.
- Our engineer will switch off the gas and disconnect your old gas cooker or hob (if one is present)
- The engineer will check the gas line and connection to check if it’s safe and suitable for your new cooker. If necessary, a new connection will be fitted to the gas line.
- The engineer will check that the ‘Hot Zone’ is free from obstructions (see below)
- Your new cooker is connected to the gas supply and put into position. The gas supply is reinstated and checked to ensure no leaking gas.
- The engineer will switch on the cooker and ensure it’s working correctly.
- The engineer writes you a gas appliance installation certificate, tidies up and leaves.
The process is quick and straightforward. Our engineers are highly experienced and have fitted many gas appliances in South Woodham kitchens over the 30+ years we have been operating.
We ensure our cooker installation and disconnection prices are amongst the best in the area.
