I would like to thank your engineer, Mike Davies, of Hale and Altrincham area for carrying our the replacement of the flow valve in the boiler at my daughter's new flat. He was very helpful and friendly and repaired the fault quickly and efficiently. He also gave me advice on the timer controls and sorted out another problem I mentioned after offering to help. Mike was very professional and a credit to your company. Please pass on my thanks to him.

I had cause to phone Dyno Rod re my cistern leaking and I phoned the call centre and spoke with a young lady called Bernie who was extremely and utterley so helpful and polite and she assisted with my call for an Engineer - The engineer came on the same day (within 2 hours actually) his name was Piero and he too was extremely pleasant and helpful and sorted out the problem within 15 minutes. It's been a long time since I have received such a good, professional and pleasant a service from start to finish. You are to be commended on your staff and their fabulous approach to your customers. Many Thanks for such a good service.

We contacted British Gas regarding an electrical fault with our property. We were seen within a week of requesting the appointment. Our engineer, Lee Markham was super efficient and not only fixed the problem quickly but noticed another issue that he made an appointment a few days later to come in and fix. He was also very polite and professional as well as tidy. Great job!

Just wanted to take the opportunity to thank Peter (who covers the Wootton area in Northampton) for his professialism in not only fixing our boiler and undertaking a full service, but also for going above and beyond to add a new pump so that our entire system is super-quiet! Couldn't recommend him and British Gas enough!

Please could you pass on our thanks to Nigel Nightingale (Dyno-rod) who fixed an emergency leak for us which was coming through our ceiling and was preventing us from using our bathroom.

Nigel arrived that evening and not only did he do an excellent job, but he was aware we had a small child asleep in the next room and barely made a sound.

We are so grateful and would like recognition of this excellent work to be passed on.

I want to pass on my apprecation for the excellent service I received today for my yearly service.

I called Uddingston centre to explain my time was booked 8-1, however my daughter had an accident at work yesterday and had difficulty walking. I can run her to work in 15 mins but it takes over an hour on the bus plus a walk to her work. The girl at scottish gas could not have been more helpful and accomodating.

The service was also done smoothly and well. Can you please pass on my thanks from a very satisfied customer.

I would just like to add my thoughts to the reviews on this site.
BG has come in for a lot of stick over the years but our recent experience of your service has been excellent.

While carrying out a routine service and repairing a faulty valve your engineer, Matt, from Hampton Hill Heating noticed that our hot water cylinder was leaking. This was replaced within a few days under our HomeCare® agreement. The work was carried out quickly with no mess and throughout the job. Matt was pleasant and efficient, taking the time at the end to make sure the whole system was working properly.

This sort of service is exemplary and what other companies in this field should aspire to. Well done BG and thanks Matt for an
excellent job.

Engineer "Eric". I would like to comment on the great service I received from this engineer. He called me before he arrived, always kept me informed of what he was checking, and what would happen next. He was professional, friendly and helpful and showed excellent customer care. He was polite and informative in his approach to his work, and managed to book me some time to come back and fix the job fitting in with my working day.

This flexible and helpful approach was much appreciated by myself, and I feel he needs to be congratulated.

Thank you,

I wish to express my gratitude to Peter O'Kelly for the excellent service he provided in capping the supply to my gas fire. He was only meant to be providing an estimate but proceeded with sourcing the parts and then returning later that day to complete the job. This saved admin costs for British Gas and avoided my having to take more time off from work.

Thank you.

We recently had a call to repair a Myson Kickspace heater. Your engineers have declined to fix it using various objections such as "it has electrical connections and we don't do those". The young man today was excellent. He and a colleague have left the heater fully operational. They were imaginative and most helpful. I wished to pass this on. Thank you.

I would like to thank the Homecare team for their excellent response to our recent problems. Thank you to the telephonist who was helpful and polite. Thank you to the engineer who immediately diagnosed a faulty hot water cylinder and then made many phone calls in an effort to get a replacement as quickly as possible. Thankyou to the second engineer who arrived the same afternoon and worked long after he should have been home in the warm to replace our dead cylinder.

We now have clean water, no overflows and a lovely warm house which is much appreciated.

Good Afternoon I wish to thank scottish gas homecare call centre for the excellent service I received yesterday when calling regarding a leaking radiator I was told it may take up until the 10th of Jan 2011 to be able to come out to fix due to emergency calls being extremely busy due to the severe weather we are experiencing just now, however the lady I spoke to did say she would try and get someone out before then if their was an engineer in the area before then, and at 5pm last night only four hours after I initially reported the radiator an engineer was at my door to fix it.

Many Thanks and I am very impressed by Scottish Gas and the service I received. Too many people like to be heard when they have a complaint to be made but very seldom give praise and I think this service definately deserves some praise.

Thankyou and a very Merry Christmas to all your staff within your company.

I wanted to leave my feedback about an engineers visit today - the guy who visited was called Adam. I wanted to let you know that I think Adam was incredibly professional and very polite and well mannered, a credit to your organisation! no doubt you get lots of people complaining, but I felt I would take the time to leave positive feedback because he was lovely!

Adam arrived while I was leaving to go on the school run and he made me feel that it wasn't a problem and he'd happily wait until I was back (roughly 10 mins). He clearly explained what the electrical test involved and he was careful enough to wipe his feet and put back any wire/ plugs etc that the moved.

A really great job with no inconvenience - Customer service at it's best and I was very impressed! Adam had a trainee with him and it would appear that they made a wonderful team! Thank you!

My heating was not working this morning and I called in under my Homecare 400 agreement. In spite of the worst possible weather and driving conditions in Central Scotland last night I was promised that an engineer would come out today. He phoned to say that due to conditions getting to our village he might be a wee bit late - but he has now worked all afternoon to get the heating working again.

I didn't get his name though I am sure you will be able to trace him. I think his first initial is J - and I think he comes from Shotts! He was courteous, mannerly, helpful and efficient - what more could anyone ask for? If it is possible to commend him, please do. He was a star.

Thank you for this excellent service - we will be warm tonight!

I'm not sure if this is the right means of contacting you, but I would just like to say how impressed I was with the engineer (Manny) who visited my mum's house at 10 am today to carry out her annual boiler inspection.

When a fault was discovered and neither my brother nor I were able to attend on the following day for the part to be replaced, Manny phoned around until he managed to locate the part (in Epsom) and drove there and back in order to get the job finished today.

He was polite, friendly and patient throughout. It was a big relief to us all that the job was done, and I feel that he went the extra mile (literally) to do it.

I would like to commend Michael Kelly, a Scottish Gas engineer, for his diligence and care in repairing a fault to my boiler. Michael communicated well throughout the required visits, advising when he was due to arrive and what issues he was seeking to address with the boiler.

I have to say all of the engineers who have fixed our troublesome boilers over the last couple of years have been very good - but the thing that set Michael apart is his evident care for his customers and his clear communication.

I would like for Michaels manager to received this and to be passed on to Michael.

Feedback ref a recent visit and Boiler repair. We have been a 3* customer for many years, at our previous home and now our current home for more than 20 years, we have always had good service, however on the recent visit and subsequent return visits by your repairer Mr Jon Stewart, I felt we had to comment on the excellent job completed by Mr Stewart, not only did he resolve the problem he also solved the "mystery" fault that has been a problem for our household boiler for many years.

We have been so pleased with this and the improvement in our heating has been instant. Many thanks for all his hard work.

I would just like to register my praise and thanks for the 2 engineers who visited us today, initially to report a leak which I had reported, but who also performed the annual service on gas fire and boiler at the same time as fixing the leak.

They were very professional, considerate, clean and efficient workers and arrived around 9.30am which was brilliant. I had needed a morning call as had to go out later but was advised all morning slots had gone but I would be put down for an all day call... I was very impressed when they arrived so early.

Please would you convey this message and our thanks to the engineers... I think there names were Ann and Andy... Please be sure to pass this on to them and again thank you for the excellent service.

Would you please direct this review to the appropriate person. I had insured my gas combi/condensing boiler and system with HomeServe (not to be confused with HomeCare®)and had to call there engineer out because of loss of pressure which causes the boiler to shut down.

There were no visible signs to help with diagnosis, within the boiler and the engineer didn't run any test, so we had to pay for a plumber to come out to test the system. There was no sign of a leak here either. At this point HomeServe told us we could either call in another company or monitor the situation ourselves. We cancelled our policy with them and called in British Gas.

The first thing there lovely engineer did was to assure us, that no matter what, British Gas would not "drop us" and that the boiler "would be sorted". True to his word after thoroughly testing all sections of our boiler and system he was able to diagnose 2 major faults and parts that needed replacing.

I have nothing but praise for the caring and efficient way this whole problem was dealt with by British Gas, from the initial phone call when I spoke to Duncan, through to the engineer and the Long Duration Engineer.

I was at my wits end until British Gas stepped in and I have and will sing their praises to all who will listen. Up to now 3 of my friends have changed over to HomeCare® on my recommendation, so keep up the good work and thank you once again.

I would like to recognise BG engineer R Shade as a true advocate of your company. He came this week to fit a new flow switch he did the job very competently but the thing that I recognised the most was his ability leave you feeling confident and assured and his general customer service skills were 2nd to none.

You may do CSAT surveys but the most important thing is to create your customers as advocates of your service and company as I'll be sure to recommend to family and friends as a result of your engineer.

So thank you and please do recognise the efforts, dedication and skills of R Shade he's doing you proud...

Expect a few calls from my neighbours to become a customers as a direct result.

Today we had an engineer visit our home and i feel i must write to say just how wonderful, knowledgeable and professional he was. We had booked an engineer and we were told he was to arrive between 8am and noon. At 5 to 12 the engineer rang to say he could not make it. So at 4pm the replacement engineer called.

I am perturbed that our appointment time was not kept especially when we were informed the original engineer did not like working on our type of boiler which is the reason for his cancelleation. But our anger subsided when the new engineer called. This engineer is to be comended as he has saved your company from reciveing an angry letter regarding the missed time slot and the fact that my husband has had to take more time off work to wait for the visit. I do hope that he is recognised for his good work but more importantly i hope the original engineer is not allowed to dictate what he works on and is told to be professinal and do his job! We are afterall in a recession he should be happy he has a job to go to.

We will be receiving another visit next friday for a replacement part to our boiler and I hope that we are able to firstly not have to go through the whole cancellation process and that the engineer who does visit is as professional as the last.

Kind regards

My family suffered a total gas boiler failure at the peak point of the winter- in January. Several weeks and several visits by a number of other boiler engineers later, we were still 'enjoying' arctic temperatures at home. Following a colleague's recommendation, I called British Gas HomeCare® team. Both engineers who visited us (Ben - initial diagnostics; and David Varney) were extremely efficient and kind. As a customer I felt in safe competent hands throughout the whole process.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to both of them as well as to the British gas HomeCare® team as a whole. They must be proud for having so highly professional engineers on board. I would higly recommend British Gas HomeCare® team to everyone who needs their heating problems resolved quickly and to a high standard.

Please pass on my thanks - he is a credit to your company. He solved our problem where others had given up - a delight to deal with. Please make sure you pass on my thanks.

Our gas boiler was repaired in an exemplary manner. The engineer, (I think his name was Tim) arrived on time, diagnosed the problem, ordered the spare parts and fixed the boiler. It is gratifying to receive such professional, courteous and expert service (AND at a fair price). I hope management will pass my, and my wife's appreciation to the engineer for a great job. We will call British Gas FIRST for any future problems.

While I was in France the beginning of october, my son in law was in my bungalow doing some decorating my boiler went wrong, pouring water from underneath, my son in law phoned your company and a chap named Nick Stamp, engineer, arrived, immediately stopped the leak, due to unforseen circumstances he had to return a couple of times, due to parts being ordered, my son in law explained to Nick I am an elderly person and he did his utmost to repair the boiler, I am writing just to say a big thankyou, dealing with a person like Nick takes away the worry from an elderly person like myself, my son in law said he was so helpful and understanding, where nothing was to much trouble, I hope this person gets the recognition he deserves, as I would say he is a great asset to your company, I would highly recommend British Gas to my friends, as I have done in the past, once again a big Thankyou.

I just wanted to commend the two engineers who came round today (27 August). One (Nigel) did the plumbing and the other (Geoff) did the gas safety test for the landlord certificate. Both gentlemen were polite and did a thoroughly great jobs. Thank you for all your help. Please pass this on to them.

I was visited on 30/6/08 for a HomeCare® service by Engineer ID: 20429.

I would like to complement him on an excellent service and in particular in solving a problem which other engineers had never resolved. My heating system has been "kettling" for several years but is now repaired and silent thanks to this service.

I meant to say could you please forward this on to all concerned PLEASE.

Having lots of trouble getting you to look at my boiler, which has been a saga, I would now like to take this opportunity to THANK YOU sorting the problem.

A special thank's to the Engineer who came out today, my partner said he was a really nice man.

Also a big THANK YOU to Mr Paul Davey who seemed to be the man who got the ball rolling, and kept us informed of what was going off. THANKS PAUL.

I guess there was somebody behind Paul who also helped so big thank you to that may well of been.

I would say All your staff are a credit to you, (except for not phoning me back when they said they would) However they all conducted themselves well on the telephone and seemed very nice people.

SO THANKS again.

Today Sunday the 16th March 2008, We had occassion to contact yourselves again owing to a boiler problem. I spoke to a member of your staff named John, a most polite and helpful person I was informed that an engineer would be with me some time this date.

The engineer arrived and immediately diagnosed the problem and fixed it with tidyness, care and the minimum of fuss. The name of the engineer was Ben Smallwood. I would like to express my initial thanks to John, but most of all thanks to Ben for his professionalism and knowledge in resolving our problem (a problem missed by others) Thank you once again, its easy for people to complain however I feel that where credit is due it should be recognised Thank you once again.

He appeared to very efficient and knowledgeable, was polite, helpful and very friendly. Please convey my comments to the engineer's supervisor.

Many thanks.

I would like to thank you for the brilliant service we received through our Home Care cover last thursday 24th Jan 08. We had a leak coming from a pipe in one of our bedrooms and called you. Someone actually came within the hour and repaired the leak which didn't even take an hour. The service engineer was called Mark Wakefield. It made such a difference because if it had not been repaired it would have been a very cold night for my 5 year old daughter and myself at 8 months pregnant as we could not put the heating on until it had been repaired. Thankyou once again. I will have no hesitation in reccomending British Gas in the future.

Excellent service. Engineer came out very quickly and was very helpful and informative about the boiler. Had recent noise problems with the boiler (and was very sluggish) and all it needed was a clean and didn't cost me a penny. Very good value.

I recently signed up with yourselves for the 4OO Homecare plan after being let down on the aftercare service by the Company who installed a new combi boiler last year.

I just want to say how prompt the service was along with putting a good word in for the engineer "Dexter Bewick", who was so pleasant and had the problem solved within 20 minutes.

Too many people complain about companies instead of letting them know about their good points.

I am a Homecare 400 customer and had need to call out an engineer today to look at my electrics as all my lighting had failed.

A young female engineer called Kim came round and I am emailing (and will be putting in writing also) how pleased i am with her service. She was friendly, helpful and extremely efficient and it was very good for me, as a female in the flat on my own in the dark, to have a female engineer come round. I am extremely pleased with your service in general and hers in particular and feel compelled to tell you, as her bosses and as the people who run this service. PLease pass on my commendation to her manager, Martin Lamb.

Many, many thanks!

I would like to give some positive feedback to a recent visit from a member of the home care team. The Engineer was Stephen Mitchell, Bradford area. The work carried out was efficient, tidy and well above what sadly I have become to expect from prior boiler repair companies. Please log this positve feedback in the system.

I like to express my gratitude and thanks to British Gas and especially to 2 engineers who came out to my rescue. The calls were dealt with most promptly (same day) in a very professional and polite manner. Both engineers arrived at out of hours time and both done a great job.

I feel that the engineers (Brian Owen and Andy Newton) are worth while to be honorable mentioned and aknowledge for their fantastic work. My complement to British Gas, the HomeCare® is everything its advertised. Thank you.

We have been having a nightmare with our boiler - British Gas have been very patient with us and have visited 6 times. I was on the verge of ordering a new boiler but lovely Sarah in the Call Centre Team explained that unfortunately it can sometimes take a few visits before a problem is sorted but that British Gas would persevere. And they did. The last engineer, Paul, was wonderful, spent over 2 hours with us and the problem is fixed. Thank you all so much.

We have had a visit from one of your engineers this afternoon and I would just like to say that his work was excellent. It took over 3 hours to sort out a problem with our central heating but he managed to sort it. It's times like this when I am proud to say that I am a British Gas customer and it is well worth the monthly fee to cover breakdowns. The engineer in question is called Peter Ranson. I would be really grateful if this thanks could be passed on to him.

Phoned Wednesday evening to report fault on my dishwasher, 3 delightful engineers called on Thursday pm, diagnosed fault and ordered part. Same 2 engineers called again Friday morning, replaced faulty part, diagnosed a 2nd fault and repaired that immediately. Excellent service. Used to have to wait 2 weeks for initial callout, then wait a further week for parts with previous company I was insured with.

Having spent the last two months freezing trying to find a heating engineer that was honest, skilled and reliable to attend our dead boiler we saw your one price boiler repair service ad and decided to give it a go. We had the pleasure of getting attended by your Ian Lewis who was pleasant skilled and a credit to your company he repaired our boiler price as agreed no cons or cut corners and as a result we are now about to go on to annual cover for the boiler with your company. Please keep up the good work it is a pleasure to find a genuine product from a genuine company in this market.

Dear Sir,

I telephoned British Gas on Tue 06 Mar 07 at 0720 hrs.

I reported to a very helpful and understanding Mohammed a serious Central Heating problem and he arranged for an engineer, Mr Dan Marshall, to visit me the same morning.

I would like to register the fact that I am impressed by Mr Marshall's professional, polite and dogged dermination to get the job done.

As a 'Registered Disabled' person I am, for obvious reasons, reliable on such service therefore, I am impressed by the professional attitude displayed by Mr Marshall who I believe is a credit to British Gas.

I hope my comments provide from British Gas the recognition Mr Marshall deserves.

Thank you.

After paying for a gas engineer who told me I needed a new boiler I called British Gas to have a look and what a difference in service. The engineer was fantastic he worked on my boiler for 2 hours and found the problem and fixed it. Well done that man, now I know I wont use any one else but British Gas. Thank you so much.
