DO NOT USE THESE COWBOYS.
I contacted who I thought was a reputable company as I was having trouble with my boiler. The person who answered the call informed there would be a £49.00 call out fee, which I agreed to as it was a Sunday. The engineer who arrived was very quiet and didn't engage in conversation. After 15 minutes a man rang to say the job had been completed and the cost would be £440.00. which I refused to pay the full amount, informing him I didn't have that amount of cash. He became quite abrupt demanding I did a bank transfer. I informed him I didn't have the money in my bank account to which he demanded I show the engineer my bank statement. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I informed him I would give the engineer £200.00 in cash and wouldn't give anymore until I had checked the company out. The man then started to negotiate slowly dropping the price from £440.00 to £250.00. He rang my phone consistently 12 times. The engineer who obviously knew the set up was happy to take the £200.00 and run. This lot need to be ashamed of themselves trying to rob honest decent people. It just made me think of an old person on their own listening to the demands of the guy on the phone. A total disgrace. They also work under the name of 24/7

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. Tried to charge £250 for a ten minute call out and the issue was not resolved.

The technician themselves was very nice. The call centre the persistently called for the payment immediately after the call out. STAY WELL CLEAR!!!

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!

I was blown away by their professionalism. They took the time to explain the problem and the solution clearly. Fantastic experience!

Do Not use this Company ! We were charged £412.80 for 15 minutes work ! Forced to pay immediately on line. No proper bill no proper breakdown of prices. Money paid to engineer personal account! Absolutely scam of people when in a crisis!! I will go to CAB and if that doesn’t work I will report to BBC

Absolutely disgusting they gave us a quote and charged over double the cost have asked the question why just keep getting fobbed off would not recommend to anyone we are fuming

These guys are an absolute rip off. They tried to charge me £330 ex VAT for 1 hour labour charge. The technician was in and out my house within 35 minutes.
Absolutely joke, I’ve had to go to trading standards about this as they also just wouldn’t get back to me via email and when you call to complain they say they can’t put you through to anyone.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. Extremely expensive - No information on hourly rate beforehand, despite request. They pull a figure out of the air it seems. Half hour job £249. The workman was fine and seemed competent, plus a bit embarrassed by the company fee.

Abolote ripoff i am crying n shaking in shock wouldn't give me price before work left with no choice but to pay what i couldnt afford please please dont make my mistake people

These people commit fraud. DO NOT USE THEM.
They used intimidation techniques by demanding the job be paid without an invoice. They refused to leave my premises whilst I queried their very vague invoice - that had no details or report of the job also without tradesman reference number.
Emergency call out charged despite me booking it 48 hours in advance.
Two men stayed in my flat with my female tenant - refusing to leave for over 1.5 hours ( I thought they had left )
When I said I was sorting it out with their office ( they had a woman answering a phone to pretend they represent them) they started to threaten to rip it the sealant- shouting and being very aggressive. I've informed the police and trading standards.
Charge £394 for SEALANT job that took less than an hour. Immoral operators.

Not even a Single Star, it’s nothing but a scam. Spent more time in looting money than the work.

Do not use. Phoned for a plumber for a leak in kitchen. £49 call out charge, 2 hrs labour £400. Job still not done. Came out following day and still didn't fix the leak £150 later. No invoices. Called another plumber, fixed leak within 10 mins with a washer. Using Google guarantee to claim money back and reporting to trading standards. No land line and mobile number frequently changes.

This is scam company never go near them. I had F2 fault showing on my boiler and no hot water. I Called them on 5/7/24, they sent in engineer. He claimed there’s a leaking pipe so he changed it. After changing pipe or fixing the leak the boiler lost power. I had to called in about 3 gas safe engineers and all could not fixed it. In the end I had to buy new boiler. This scammers after destroying my boiler were demanding £625 for changing about 3-4 inch long pipe. If you really want your peace of mind please run away from them.

Qouted £49 call out and when asked about extras just said any additional parts and labour would be extra. No mention of hourly or minimum charge whatsoever. Electrician turned up 4 hrs late and the remedy was trigger switch on the circuit bosrd needing flicking. Took 1 min from his arrival to doing - I then get a phone call stating I owe £322. Total scam - Avoid at all costs. The business operates under a number of business names 24/7 emergency, Best Technicians and many more. They operate from an accommodation address, If you do not ask for a full breakdown of possible charges you are 100% sure to get ripped off. I am passing on details to Trading Standards and BBC Watchdog.

We required our kitchen tap fixing as it was spraying water all over the wall behind it. I just want to clarify that I am not unhappy with the plumber sent as he was extremely professional and did an amazing job. The company disclosed to us a call out fee of £50 which we agreed with. On the phone we were told that there would be labour and parts charges. However, no parts were needed in the end and the job took 15 minutes. We were told over the phone during payment that we made a late call out. However, we called in the middle of the afternoon and were told that a plumber would be here in an hour to an hour and a half. He turned up at 1900 (four hours later) but through no fault of his own. Again this isn’t a dig at him. The company did not call me to tell me that he was running late at all.
In total we were charged £349 for a 15 minute job with no materials needed. I think this is completely unacceptable as labour costs were not disclosed to me on the phone. I feel scammed and will be making a formal complaint.

A few days following the tap broke again. Just to add salt to the wound ! No invoice was sent to us either.

Another update: following my review I can see that Best Technicians has replied. It seems that they have copied and pasted the exact same response to me as they have to other negative reviews.

Avoid. Phoned re a problem with kitchen tap. Called the number to see if they could help. Bizarrely was able to get someone booked in within 2min for next day. Asked about costs was told £49 for call out. Worked out I could fix simple problem myself so called back within 15mins to cancel. Was told I owed the £49 call out charge. Explained there had been no mention of cancellation fees and asked for their cancellation policy. Much dithering at her end. Hung up. Avoid. Weird to see they have 150+ reviews at 5 star...Fake.

Booked then looked up reviews 100% it's a scam tries saying I have to pay a call our fee to cancel bye bye didn't take no details only address avoid at all costs trust the reviews

Fraud agency
Booked a plumber for a simple leak called at 18.30 and was promised to have an engineer in 20-30Min . Plumber turned up after 1.5hours and I had already fixed the leak waiting for the plumber . He arrived Did a 5min job of checking all taps and I got an invoice of 269£ . While booking I was informed I would have to pay 49£ but nobody mentioned that a minimum of 200£ would be charged for a 5-7 min job and no use of spare parts either .
Absolute daylight robbery by a a group of fraud people .

Plumber came out 1.5hrs late for both my showers running only hot water. After 10 mins he said he needs to replace one shower with labour £450, other showers repair was “more complicated” he said. Refused to let him change it, paid the £50 call out and got rid.
Had a handyman friend come round and found I wasn’t using either of the showers controls properly, £0 fix as they weren’t broken. I assume they have a van load of cheap showers they want to get rid of.
AVOID AVOID AVOID !!!!!!
Look for a local plumber in your area.

Call best technicians on Saturday 7 September 2024 for leaking pipe to the kitchen tap said the call out charge of £48 I was ok with that . The plumber arrived within 2 hours found the problem replaced the pipe . I have no problem with the plumber who worked well and was polite. When he had finished I had a phone call from best technicians who told me that the bill was £418 cash or bank transfer,paid cash as I don't do online banking no receipt was given, I contacted best technicians for a receipt but no response. Something dodgy about this company and they are expensive.
