We are a plumbing company providing our services across Australia.
Plumbing & Gas called me back. This was not their job, but another company using their name! Looks like I am down $141.90. Sorry Plumbing and Gas, as it seems someone is trading on your reputation. I paid for a "technician" to check out our leaking solar hot water system. No one turned up. Plumbing & Gas don't require a payment up front.
Had to pre pay $141 just for them to come out about my hot water system not heating up. Guy didn't even open the unit and obviously had no clue then went to sit in his van. Came back and quoted almost $1000 just to look for issue or get a new system for $4700, which only costs $950 retail. Complete scam.
Scott attended our job to inspect a minor leak. After leaving we noted the hot water had stopped working and called to see if it had been turned off during the work. We were told he hadn't touched anything, then found out later that the water had been turned off to the system. Would have been easy enough to say that he had turned it off to isolate the leak, but lied instead and offered that we could pay another call out fee to inspect it.
Scam artists Call out for a blocked toilet. Paid $141.90 and a lazy dude came out and quoted $1500 to dig up the paving. We got a second opinion and it was cleared in 20 mins by another plumber for $500 with absolutely no need to dig up the paving. Called to complain they asked us to email then. We Emailed and waited a week with no response. Reported them to consumer affairs and they tried to do mediation and the company didn’t even respond to them. Would never recommend. Read the reviews. They have so many bad reviews for doing the exact same thing.
