Inaccurate Invoicing and Unhelpful Staff
Several customers have reported issues with the accuracy of their invoices from Hepplethwaite. Simon Richards, who gave a 3-star rating, mentioned that every time he uses the company, the invoice is wrong in their favour. When he challenged the invoice, he was told that when engineers don't have feedback on the length of stay, they estimate and then charge accordingly. Richards found this unacceptable, as the company's hourly rates are publicly available.
Excellent Service
On the other hand, several customers have had positive experiences with Hepplethwaite. Many have praised the company's engineers for being courteous, professional, and efficient. David Hurst, James Gibbs, Maintenance Team, Harrison Freeman, Hannah Wild, Jessica D., John Storrie, Theo Grice, and Rhys Luke all gave 5-star ratings. They commended the company's ability to diagnose and fix issues quickly, provide excellent customer service, and be reliable and punctual.
Lack of Response and Appalling Service
However, one customer, Rachel Prior, had a disastrous experience with the company. She gave a 1-star rating, complaining about the appalling service she received. She contacted the company a week ago to replace a circulating pump, but never received a follow-up call or response, despite multiple emails and calls. When she threatened to cancel her account, she was met with silence.
