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.

We would like to take this opportunity to let you know how delighted we were with the gentleman who came to check the problem with our boiler on Sat 6.2.2010 and who came again today to fix it. On both occasions he was friendly, polite, courteous and couldn't have been more helpful. Could pass on our grateful thanks to him. His name was Colin. Many thanks again.

We had a system flush yesterday carreid out by engineer Phil Robinson. We would just like to say that Phil did an excellent job and was a pleasure to have in the house. There was no mess at all and Phil took all necessary steps to ensure my safety while the work was being carried out (I have balance problems with MS).

I called on Monday morning to explain what was the problem and our concerns because our pendng home birth and the operator was very helpful and an engineer was out within the hour who was also very nice and helpful. Excellent service please pass feedback on to relevant departments.

Thanks British Gas.

Engineer Craig from the Frodsham area came to my home in West Lancashire to repair my hot water system. Within a few minutes he had diagnosed the problem, and quickly set about rectifying it. He then tested the system to ensure all was in proper working order.
Craig was polite, well-mannnered and a perfect ambassador for your company. I was very pleased with the work he carried out and his professional manner. 100% satisfaction!

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.

Thank you for promt attention to boiler after visit by engineer today. Next time hot tap is used no hot water and boiler not fucntioning.
After first phone call when I felt unhappy about priority my husband needs to use a dialysis machine at home each night and this requires much hand washing.
2nd phone call dealt with in a totally different manner and not long after engineer attended and corrected problem apparently an amazing coincidence.
Thank you 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.
Regards,
Mark Steele

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
R Tylee-Birdsall

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.

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 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.
Regards, Jim Nisbet.

I was visited by an engineer today for a routine service. He phoned to give me a very welcome 15 minutes notice of his arrival, which was at the start of the agreed time slot and he arrived right on time. 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 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 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.
Happy Danuta Hopwood.

Engineer, John BEEVER
I am writing to praise the above member of your team. Today he fixed my
boiler. He was on time, his manner and attitude was excellent. He was
patient and explained all procedures undertook. In a world of 'best value'
excellent customer service like this must not be lost.
Excellent Well Done...

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.

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.

I just wish to extend my thanks to your team and the engineer, Tim who came to my rescue last night. I have Homecare 200 and called last night @ 8pm. By 9.00 Tim had called and replaced the pump in my central heating. The service was second to none and the attitude of both the lady in the call centre and Tim was excellent. Once again many thanks.

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.

On Thursday 21st December my heating failed with a pump fault.
On Friday 22nd an engineer, David Jones, called and fixed the problem giving excellent advice on further remedial work that might be required.
He was everything a British Gas Engineer should be and deserves to be commended.
