There was the usual efficient, polite service from your call centre (Sabrina on this occasion) when I first contacted you and also a later phone call to offer me an earlier appointment than originally arranged if I wanted (yes please!). When the plumber (Robert Thorn) arrived he was extremely polite and efficient completing the job quickly with no fuss leaving everything neat, tidy and clean-a credit to your company!

Booked to re-pressure my boiler, it took less than a minute, but the plumber deliberately pulled out a pipe and created more work to take him into the 2nd hour if charge. I refused to let him go into his second hour, he condemned my boiler because of the damage he had caused and turned everything off. To top it off, he didn't even clean up after him, leaving me without a boiler, damaged paintwork and a pile of mess, with £153 in his pocket. You have been warned, do not use this company, they will rip you off.

They charge per visit so the more visits they can do. The bill just keeps going up. If they are there 10 minutes as my engineer was. You still have to pay for a full hour. Then when you question it they threaten you with legal action. Rogues

Rip-off
October 1, 2021

Rightio charged £1639. 80 to fix a boiler, including time not working although they had said that time collecting spares would not be charged (this happened 4 times at £149 an hour); and not providing an invoice for spares when asked in email complaining when they debited their invoice. They didn't reply to the complaint.

Vile and disgusting
October 28, 2020

I was charged £178.80 for a call out charge as our central heating had broken down. The engineer told me that everything needed to be replaced which would cost me in excess of £4,000. As my central heating had been installed only 8 years ago I wasnt satisfied so a friend put me on to a local heating engineer who is a one man band. Much to my amazement he fixed my heating in 20 minutes and charged me £50. Apparently something minor had gone wrong and now my home is warm again. Rightio Plumbing should be shut down.

Have charged a pensioner over £500 damaged the hot water cylinder causing a leak and leaving a family without hot water and heat over Christmas. Despite promises nobody has tried to sort this out or responded to us. Repairs have now cost another £1300! Dont use them in the Cv 13 area! Im sure they have some decent staff in places but its too hit and miss.

Cheap boiler service offer is only meant to hook you. Chargers of £109.00 per hour + parts + VAT will follow. Watch out for the minimum of 1 hour service, it will cost you £109+VAT even if the job takes 5 minutes!
Well beyond sharp business practices! This guys are professionals!

We were absolutely satisfied with the service you provided, especially since we had been let down badly twice by another company.

Think this is a scam. I fortunately said I would pay the plumber when he came, and resisted their call for my card details over the phone. Of course nobody turned up and their 0330 number now comes up as unobtainable. Avoid!

Had an electrician to check why my washing machine was tripping our circuit breaker. He was around for no longer than 15 minutes only to tell me that the washing machine was broken and tripping the breakers and we would need a new washing machine. Usually qualified engineers/electricians charge a £90 call-out fee or £45 if the job is half an hour. As it was merely a fleeting visit only to tell me what I already knew I thought he may understandably only charge half of a call-out fee, instead he charged me £142.80! More than an hour should ever be for doing what I could have done. I literally paid £142.80 for absolutely nothing. STAY WELL AWAY - rogue traders!

Shocking company
January 16, 2020

Do not use, absolutely terrible, I'm now on no show number 8, yes 8 for their plumber, on the 5 times he has actually turned up to fix the shower, he's diagnosed the wrong issue twice, lost the required part, had to call the supplier to get help. Still not fixed 4 months later.
Absolute cowboys!

Phoned what I thought was oral plumber but somehow these scammers came. When I phoned I asked for washer connector under sink simple job, these scammers came without the part and without tools said they would have to come back and it will take two hours
He was told too leave.phoned another Local plumber took 20 mins and charged £70 gave him extra for coming within a hour
I suppose I am one of theucky ones as didn't get hands on my bank details
As I was paying cash
Bit now these conmen are sending debt collection letters for £117 and saying it was for diagnostics how stupid
Want my day in court they threatened me with as I have all your reviews printed out to back me up
I have also reported to trading standers and watch dog

Even though it turned out to be a long call out he spent every minute working hard to rectify the problem which he did! Excellent service and I will recommend to anyone with plumbing or boiler problems.

Utter scammers
April 24, 2017

Do not under any circumstance call these scammers, they will rip you off and charge you anywhere between 88.00 + vat per hour and 119.00. +vat per hour depending on your circumstances, good ethical practice right there

Terrible service. Booked them over a month ago for a boiler inspection. Engineer didn't have the correct paperwork to give me a certificate. Still waiting for it a month later. Money has been taken promptly by the company though. Called them several times since always being promised they sort it and the certificate is on the post. I just never seem to receive anything

You engineer, Mr N Davey-Lee, was excellent. He was very friendly, clearly knew exactly what he was doing and, went to the trouble of teaching me thing or two about heating systems. When it's time to have my boiler serviced again, in a year from now, I will ask you, RIGHTIO, to come and do it... even request that Mr. N Davey-Lee himself come and do it. Thank you... yours faithfully, Dominic Hopkins.
