Hiflow - Heating Engineers / Plumbing / Joinery Opiniones 20

Brilliant service. Guys came out over weekend and fixed leak at boiler. Thanks 🙏🏻

Atrocious service. Came to carry out the annual service and had to come back on multiple occasions to fix their work. Left us for a week with no central heating or hot water citing the bank holiday weekend as a reason they couldn’t secure the parts they needed to fix the damage they had done.

Once they finally came back out with the required parts, the boiler went again within a few days (F32 error). The same error it had shown when they had to come back out.

They were out today for the fifth time to fix this F32 error, and have just left me with no hot water or central heating yet again citing that - as on the previous occasion - they can’t get the part for three days. So that’s ten days in total we’ve went without central heating and hot water since they came out to maintain a boiler that was working perfectly before they got their hands on it.

A shambles of a company. Avoid at all costs.

I had this company servicing my fully working central heating boiler. After he left the boiler was no longer working. It would not come on and heat the radiators, I phoned Hiflow and they got the engineer to phone me. He promised to return the next morning at 9am. He never showed. Phoned Hiflow again, but told engineer had a full days work for today and wouldn't be in my area till late afternoon. I explained my boiler was working till their engineer visited yesterday and could engineer not come back sooner. They couldn't care less that they broke my boiler. Late afternoon thats it. They are not great on customer service very unhelpfull. Would not recommend.

Pleasant young man fitted my taps earlier this week. He was kind, funny and sharp. Done a great a job, taps working perfectly now. Gave me a run down of what caused the issue. Would recommend to family and friends!

Not a local company to me but they were referred via Homeserve insurers. On Tuesday morning we woke to a large damp parch on a downstairs ceiling. I called Homeserve immediately , an appointment was booked in for Wednesday morning. I did ask if an earlier appointment was possible, they called Hiflow and was advised that Wednesday was the earliest availability. Now I had explained that my husband is seriously ill but this was of no consequence. The water had to be turned off and electric heaters bought to keep him warm. Several photographs were requested and sent to Hiflo and I received a call stating the engineer would be with us at 8am Wednesday. He duly arrived and had a quick look upstairs, he came down and advised that as we had turned the water off he could not see the leak, water was turned back on at his request, still no leak to be seen. He said that he would put some tissue down so that it could be seen on his return. He did say that if leak was under the water tank the ceiling would have to be taken down for access, fair enough I suppose. On Friday morning the leak was horrendous. It had spread from a patch of about 18 inches diameter to approximately 6 feet in length, I called Hiflow on the number given at 8am, voice Mail saying call back at 9 which I duly did. Had to leave a voicemail. I called back at 12 to chase up for an emergency appointment and was told that as I hadn’t taken up the floorboards or taken down the ceiling ( I’m 70!) no one would be attending! I just couldn’t believe the arrogance or hostility. Has anyone tried to get a joiner out at a few hours notice these days? I phoned Homeserve who said they would contact this company, but the refusal continued. Eventually I received a call from Homeserve stating that an appointment had been made for Monday morning. (Emergency cover 🤣). I spent the rest of the afternoon trying to find a plumber who could get out to me. At 5pm I had a call returned and a plumber was with me inside 20 minutes (that’s emergency cover). It took the plumber approximately 10 minutes to find the problem. He lifted carpet and floorboards repaired the leak, cleaned out the inch plus of water, put floorboards, underlay and carpet back, cleaned up after himself. He also said that if the ceiling did come down, he would organise someone to come and do the repairs for me. Now that is what I call service and this company should learn from that. I don’t usually write reviews as I really can’t be bothered with them but I received a call yesterday from Hiflow demanding why I had cancelled Mondays appointment, my reply was short and yes I was rude, I told him his company was useless. The man was annoyed , stated now look here I’m trying to help you. Wrong Mr Hiflow, the time to help was earlier in the week, not waiting 6 days for an emergency call out.

First of all the engineer Daniel was absolutely fine when he arrived and absolutely no issues with him. However it still is 1 star review due to the horrendous customer care from the office. Their policy is not to arrive unless customer answers their phone prior to attendance. Given that the office had the wrong number nobody attended on 20 January. No e mail was forthcoming either to advise me of this non attendance. Called them to raise the issue and they agreed to confirm my number by phoning me there and then. Up receiving no call I called back five minutes later. Amazingly despite the person sounding very like the person I had previously spoken to, said that she had only taken over the phones and had no idea what my problem was! Anyway rebooked for 26 February. Advised that I would get an early slot and to phone on the day to confirm. Finally my phone number was updated(or so I thought).

Fast forward to today, 26 February. Phoned at 0925 as agreed and told I was 5th on the list and it would be after 2 30 pm. Could not be earlier as a technician was off sick. Confirmed my number and incredibly it was still wrong. Once again I updated it and also provided my wife’s mobile as an alternative. To be fair the technician got to my house at 12 00. He phoned my wife’s number after not mobile was unobtainable. So the staff member noted my mobile number(yet again) but failed to pass it to the technician.

At every stage of dealing with the office of this company they were rude, dismissive and completely incompetent. Please go elsewhere.

I should say that this was a boiler service on behalf of Domestic and General so think about this when taking one of their care plans
in west central Scotland.

Hi. I had your plumber out here today via Homeserve. Just to say a few words, very professional, polite, efficient young man.
Would highly recommend 10/10 an asset to your company.

HiFlow were sent out by Saga Home Emergency Insurance on Boxing Day to deal with an active water leak at my mother’s house. My mother is in palliative care.

The plumber who attended did absolutely nothing other than make excuses.

He arrived without basic materials, stating he didn’t have the correct pipe or even plumber’s tape, and claimed he was only authorised to carry out a “temporary repair” — which he did not do. He then incorrectly told me I needed to hire a joiner to remove a plaster ceiling, demonstrating a lack of basic understanding of building work.

He said he would call back to arrange the repair. No one ever did.

I contacted Saga and was told the issue should have been resolved by HiFlow. HiFlow were reassigned the job and were meant to call me within four hours. Again, no contact. Six days later the water is still leaking and no repair has been carried out.

I was forced to put in a temporary fix myself by buying a basin to catch the water.

This was an emergency call-out and HiFlow failed completely — not even a temporary repair was attempted. The company appears more focused on charging a call-out fee to the insurance company than actually fixing the problem. Completely unacceptable.

Very pleased with Jake the plumber. He was polite called ahead and the team had my plumbing fault dealt with in 2 hours. It’s great that such a lovely company is local.

Great service on a frosty Sunday morning. Guy turned up at 8am - fixed boiler through my Homeserve policy - well done guys.

Guy that drives the van AV68 UUG was shouting at a lady in a car today in bellshill. What a bellend.

Best service. Booked through my insurance cover. Engineer phoned on way. Was polite & clean. Very pleased

A claim on home emergency cover resulted in an engineer ( Ian McMillan) coming out to fix my water heater immediately. Best of all he had the necessary part with him. Thank you Ian and HiFlow for terrific service and to the office for great communication.

Horrible service with poor customer service on the phone and inefficient technical (engineering?) team. This seems to be contracted from D&G for boiler services. Rude over the phone, inflexible appointment times, the so called engineer came with no parts. Then (7 days later for a leaking boiler) the problem is not fixed. All made worse but lack of apology and explanation with company not answering the phone.

Avoid at all cost. Had an engineer in for a boiler checkup through UW. No issues with the boiler until the checkup. 10 minutes after the checkup was finished boiler is leaking badly. The report that was 100% perfect was fabricated. Another engineer had confirmed that the damage was done on purpose. The report was marked incorrectly and the boiler wasn't checked properly. Another engineer has found couple of other issues with the boiler. UW is investing them as subcontractors.. Avoid at all costs..

Initially seemed like they knew what they were doing or talked a good game. Sent out as part of a home emergency claim through Homeserve. Had a leaking boiler, was told I needed a part, they got the part fitted it. Still leaking. Same again with another part. At this point they said boiler was beyond economical repair and home emergency wouldn't cover anymore. I now have no control over heating, thermostat doesn't work now. Called for advice as up until the last visit I always had control over the heating and was pretty much told. "Sorry not our problem"
Taking no responsibility for, to try to rectify or check their own work.

Poor customer service - don’t try and complain - lied about where to get my engineers report - left me with no details of what was needed to be repaired. Avoid !
