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.

Understanding The Impact Of Leaks
Leaks can cause extensive structural damage, inflated utility bills, and health hazards like mould and mildew.
Understanding these consequences is important for homeowners and businesses who must act in case of a leak.
Early Signs Of Leaks
Early indicators of leaks include an unexplained rise in water bills, damp spots, mould growth, or water stains. Recognising these signs early is key to preventing more severe damage and costly repairs. It’s time to book our Leak Detection services.
Visual Inspection – The First Step
A visual inspection is the first line of defence in leak detection. Our experienced Plumbers can identify signs often overlooked, such as minor dampness or slight discolourations, indicative of potential leaks.
Pressure Testing – Ensuring System Integrity
Pressure testing plays a role in leak detection while verifying the integrity of plumbing systems. By measuring the pressure in pipes and observing changes, Plumbers can pinpoint leaks in areas that are not visible or accessible and evaluate the Plumbing system’s condition.
Utilising Thermal Imaging For Precision
Thermal imaging is a powerful tool for detecting hidden leaks. It uses infrared technology to identify temperature variations caused by moisture, allowing for precise identification of leaks without invasive methods.
Acoustic & Electronic Leak Detection
Acoustic and electronic detectors are employed to locate leaks by identifying the sound frequency of water escaping from pipes. This method is highly effective in locating leaks hidden in walls, floors, or underground.
A Comprehensive Leak Detection Strategy
Our thorough and effective leak detection strategy encompasses a blend of the above techniques tailored to address the unique challenges of each property.
The process begins with a meticulous visual inspection, where experienced technicians examine the plumbing system for any overt signs of leakage. Pressure testing then follows if necessary.
The application of advanced technological methods follows this.
Thermal imaging cameras detect subtle temperature differences caused by hidden leaks.
Acoustic and electronic detectors complement this approach, using sound waves to establish the exact location of leaks concealed within walls, floors, or underground.
This strategy not only facilitates the accurate detection of current leaks but also aids in identifying potential weak spots, preemptively addressing issues before they occur.
By combining these methods, our leak detection service ensures a complete and accurate assessment of the plumbing system.
Once the leak is found, we will offer a solution to reach and repair the leak and a quote for the work involved.
