Project doubled in time, workers picked own hours and a project manager who only appeared when money was discussed
I want to start this review by making it clear that the finished product from Pimlico Plumbers was excellent......how we got there however was not.
I used Pimlico Plumbers building/refurbishment service to put in a new bathroom as well fixing existing damp and plumbing issues. I have previously had excellent experiences using the company for emergency plumbing fixes and living in central London I felt comfortable potentially paying a premium to use a trusted company.
We met with our project manager who gave us a quote and said it would be done in 2 weeks. 4 weeks later it still wasn't done. I am not naive to projects overrunning but I would expect better communication as to why it is going over. My experience was workers turning up when they wanted and leaving when they wanted (the main builder regularly said he would turn up at 8 and leave at 3 but I leave for work at 8:30 and I saw him sitting in his van most days as I left). When the project did run over there were consistent promises of it being finished "soon" or in the next few days only for it to overrun. Workers said they would come in on weekends to make up time - this never materialised.
There was a genuine emergency one day when they turned the water back on to test the shower and it started leaking into the flats below. This got fixed as an emergency that day so does not explain the 2 week overrun. Whilst this was dealt with as a matter of urgency I did not get the same feeling on the rest of the project.
In the 4 week project we saw the "project manager" a grand total of twice and heard more from him come payment time than at any other point on the project. When I raised concerns about the length of time the project had taken and that I'd like a detailed list of materials and labour for the works this was ignored with him saying the lead worker said this wasn't true and another vague explanation as to why it cost what it did. There was no acknowledgement of poor practice other than saying he'd talk to one of the workers but did not give an explanation as to why things had overrun at all.
Finally whilst asking for these explanations I have been sent multiple emails a day from the accounts team and threatened with Bailiffs if I didn't pay despite them being cc'd into emails where they could see the situation.
Overall I have gone from a recommender and support of Pimlico Plumbers to never going to use them again and actively telling relatives and friends not to. A real lack of professionalism and it felt like an experience that everyone fears when getting work done of lack of clarity and a big fat bill at the end that does not explain how they calculated that number. To add to that when a query is raised effectively being stonewalled and told well the workers say they did nothing wrong that's that

Hi Sam,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. While we're pleased to hear that you were happy with the finished bathroom, we're genuinely sorry that the journey to get there fell so far below your expectations.
We understand your concerns regarding the project taking significantly longer than originally estimated, the lack of communication, and the experience you had with our accounts team while you were trying to raise legitimate queries and understand costs. This is not the level of service we aim to deliver.
Our customers choose Pimlico because they expect a premium service, not just in the quality of the finished work, but throughout the entire customer journey. From what you've described, we clearly fell short of those standards on this occasion.
As a result of your feedback, we have opened a formal internal investigation and raised a formal complaint so that each of the concerns you've highlighted can be fully reviewed. We will be contacting you directly to work through the matter, keep you updated on our findings, discuss any appropriate resolutions, and ensure your concerns are properly addressed.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. We appreciate the opportunity to investigate this thoroughly and work towards a satisfactory resolution.
Kind regards,
Pimlico Plumbers

I ordered a Neff integrated cookerhood
I ordered a Neff integrated cookerhood, like for like replacement. I was told I needed both an electrician and a carpenter 1 hour callout £248. They informed me that the cooker hood despite showing power connection was not working. Total hours billed £528.
The item was replaced and a new one delivered same deal carpenter and electrician minimum callout £246
This time they tested the power but did not remove the item from the box ( THIS IS CRITICAL ) despite showing power connection it was not working. Once again I returned the item and requested a replacement from John Lewis they replaced the item once more. Third callout slightly different carpenter and electrician they tried to tell see that once again the item was not switching on. I opened the front panel (which the integrated cupboard door attaches to) and guess what it worked !!! The reality is that with this type of cooker hood you need to open the panel to activate the fan.
£430.50. So I have now spent an eye watering £1022, I just have this very uncomfortable feeling that it was not the cooker hood that was faulty. Because was you will remember above on 2nd visit they did not take it out of the box so therefore could not have opened the panel to activate the fan. Completely traumatised by this, I need another handyman service, but would not go near them.
Be very cautious about what they tell you on site.

Hi Miss Gregson,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear about the frustration and expense you experienced throughout this process.
Having reviewed our engineers' notes from the visits, we would like to clarify the circumstances surrounding the installation. During our initial attendance, our electrician confirmed that a full power supply was present at the cooker hood, with 240V recorded at both the fused spur and the appliance connection terminals. Based on these tests, and the fact that the unit remained unresponsive, the appliance was reasonably diagnosed as faulty at that time.
The installation itself involved the removal of the existing cooker hood, installation of a new fused spur, wiring of the new appliance, and electrical testing to confirm that power was reaching the unit correctly. Our records also note that the extractor was supplied without the filters required for recirculating operation, which was discussed during the visit.
We understand your concern regarding the eventual discovery that opening the front panel activated the fan. If this operating feature was not clearly identified during the earlier visits, we appreciate how this could have contributed to confusion regarding the appliance's functionality. However, our engineers can only assess the appliance based on the information available at the time and the results of the electrical tests performed, which indicated that the electrical installation was functioning correctly and that power was reaching the appliance.
We regret that the overall experience fell short of your expectations and appreciate your feedback. Comments such as yours are reviewed internally to help us improve our installation and diagnostic processes for future customers.
Kind regards,

Efficient and caring
I hired Pimlico for one job: to replace an outside tap that was leaking. While there, I asked Trey how long he thought it would take to also replace two isolation lever head valves. He though that both would take just another hour, so I asked him to go ahead. While working, he noticed that my kitchen sink was draining slowly, so since there was no risk of going into an addition 15 minutes of billing time, he plunged that sink for me. I appreciate the care he took for all the jobs and for taking care of that slow draining sink without me even mentioning it.

Hi Scott,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We are sorry to hear that you were dissatisfied with your experience and appreciate the opportunity to respond.
Following your complaint, we conducted a full review of the matter, including listening to both the original booking call and the subsequent complaint call. Our investigation found that the relevant information regarding our charges and the nature of the appointment was communicated at the time of booking.
The appointment was arranged for one engineer to attend and assess the works required. Upon inspection, it became clear that the scope of the job was more extensive than could be accurately determined from the initial description alone. As a result, a detailed quotation was prepared, which reflected the labour, installation requirements, and potential complexities involved in removing and replacing the existing door and frame.
We understand that the quotation provided was significantly higher than you expected and appreciate how frustrating this must have been. However, quotations can only be accurately prepared once an engineer has assessed the property and the specific requirements of the work.
While we do not agree that you were misled, we recognised your dissatisfaction with the outcome and, as a gesture of goodwill, issued a refund of the attendance charge following our investigation.
We are sorry that we were unable to meet your expectations on this occasion and thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback.
