    Gas safety certificate

    19.06.2020 Firstly I very rarely write reviews, but on this occasion I would be doing an injustice if i didn't write something positive for the professional service that was provided by John Francis the Gas Engineer, and also would have no hesitation in recommending John or using his services again. John arrived promptly and carried out a very thourough service on my gas boiler and performed very thorough gas safety tests on the gas meter, hob and fire, and must admit i was very impressed. John was very efficient, professional, courteous and honest, a true Gentleman. He has a wealth of knowledge in his discipline which is very reassuring. I wish John all the best for the future. God bless and take care. Richard

    Changing a conventional boiler to a combi boiler

    An absolute nightmare. I asked John to come and replace my conventional boiler to a combi boiler. He left the job unfinished with loads of holes in the wall, the rubbish was not collected and he even left his tools behind. Wind comes to the house through the holes and has made my house unliveable. He didn’t cover the tube connectors and he left it in a very untidy and dirty stage. My tenant left the property solely beucase of the very poor boiler installation. I now have to pay thousands for someone to come and fix what has done to the property and then find a new tenant. What he delivered is not to a standard of a professional job. I will take an official complain to my builder.com and a take a legal action against him to compensate for my wasted time and money.

    Answer from tradesperson:

    Mpaypadesh, The original of $3200 included repairs to any disruption in the process. i.e fit boiler + remove exg cylinder. You proposed £2400. I wrongly accepted it but stated without any repairs afterwards. I instructed tenant to have the plasterboard and paint work done a.s.a.p. I fixed a door from the kitchen cabinet which the existing boiler had hung out the bottom of rather unsightly! I sent a colleague around, when he eventually managed to get an appointment with your tenant for access. He packed the flue gap with glass fibre. The Tenant also informed him that she had now found a place so would be gone imminently. I returned some time later after your Negative Feedback, knocked the back door and noticed that tenant had left and the painter had already been in and completed a skim and paint job. For me 2 x half days, approx. £400 plus £35 for materials (waiting for plaster to dry before returning to paint) It could not possibly have taken thousands and was NOT the cause of your tenant leaving. I genuinely hate bad relations and if I had done wrong I would have apologised, arranged a meeting with you and proposed a mutually agreeable solution at my own cost. I did what was agreed for the agreed knock-down price, no more or less. For your info, I have only ever had ONE other negative feedback since 2018 over missing an appointment to fit a cooker which I apologised to the Client publicly on this site for, but this one, totally out of context left me speechless.

    Gas fire removal & multifuel stove installation

    John removed the old gas fire and isolated the gas feed to it. He also installed a new valve at the bottles outside. The job went well.

    Remove a gas fire

    John text me to say he would remove the fire at a reasonable price. We arranged for him to come the end of the week, with him saying Thursday evening. The Thurs evening came and went, with me texting him at 2018 asking where he was. I text again later on suggesting that it was now too late to be banging, and also saying if he didn't want to do this job, to say so. Just be honest with me. He never appeared and I never heard from him. I text him the next day saying I had found somebody else. He eventually replied saying he had been working "every night for last two weeks till 9pm" So, why book me for an evening, why not text me to say he couldn't manage? I don't recommend him.
