Company Reputation and Professionalism
WS Howe's reputation as a professional company is highlighted by some reviewers, with one customer having used their services for 18 years without issue. They are described as "very professional" and "excellent" in their work.
Quality of Workmanship
The quality of work carried out by WS Howe's engineers is praised by several reviewers, with one customer stating that they "could not be happier" with the refitted wetroom they installed. Another reviewer commended the company for their "high standard" of work and the fact that the plumber left the working areas clean and tidy.
Customer Service
Some reviewers have praised the company's customer service, with one customer stating that they are "easy to contact" and always answer the phone on time. Another reviewer commended the company director for addressing their initial invoice query and offering a partial credit.
Equipment Installation and Repair
Several reviewers have praised the company's installation and repair of boilers, heating equipment, and plumbing systems. One customer had a boiler breakdown and was impressed that the company was able to send someone the next day to fix the issue.
Smart Home Automation Issues
However, one reviewer had a negative experience with the company's understanding and training when it came to smart home automation. They also had issues with the internal job sheet process, which led to poor communication between engineers and the finance team.
Negative Experiences
Some reviewers have had negative experiences with the company, including one customer who had to pay for parts that didn't work and ultimately had to have a new boiler fitted by a different company. Another reviewer had issues with radiators not heating up, and despite three visits, the issue was not resolved, and they were left with a large bill.
