    A Running Scam -- A Criminal Scheme of Alarming Scale! It's…read morehard to believe this so-called business is still operating unchecked. For years, it has posed as one of Britain's top plumbing companies while repeatedly defrauding customers. I wish I had read the many negative reviews from others who were scammed just like me. The company displays a distinctive pattern. We called them to replace a simple plastic bath mixer- an attachment -- a very basic fixture that any professional plumber should carry or quickly source. During the initial call, and after paying £156 in advance, for the first hour, I offered to send a photo of the required part. They refused. That should have been the first red flag. Their tactic is simple: arrive, declare they don't have the part, suggest a quick trip to a local DIY shop that predictably doesn't stock it, then "go to Argos" -- consuming most of the paid hour. The plumber never returns but instead sends a follow-up report, suggesting another visit the next day for an additional £200 to "complete the job." In reality, the part is standard -- any competent plumber should either carry it or be able to collect it easily from their office stock. Instead, the company pockets £156 for doing virtually nothing. For reference, they quoted £360 to install a basic shower mixer onto bathtub taps -- a task that's usually straightforward and should not require such inflated costs or deceptive practices. This operation has exploited customers this way for years, as proven by numerous similar online complaints. Avoid these fraudsters and report their scam to Citizens Advice, who can escalate the matter to Trading Standards for investigation.

    The most awful service I have ever experienced…read more Apparently, you cannot give 0 stars, which is a shame, as Pimlico do not even deserve 1 star. Incompetent administration, an engineer who lied and a complaints process which is basically them deciding that you are wrong. As others have said it's £150 up front. The engineer turned up, worked about 5 minutes and said everything was fine. 3 days later the leak started again in exactly the same place. Pimlico said I would have to pay again to get someone to look at it and that their engineer had advised a replacement which I had refused and that it was all detailed in the engineer report. Of course, I had never received the engineer report as they had the wrong email address for me, and if I had received it, I would have challenged the false statements the engineer had included in it. I immediately made a complaint, which they dismissed as they had video evidence that supported the fact I was lying about what the engineer told me. They didn't follow their own 3 step complaints process, they are not a member of any external ombudsmen or complaints scheme. So, when they defraud you and dismiss your claim, you have nowhere to go. Oh and of course they later admitted they didn't have any video evidence and claiming they had was a mistake, but they still didn't refund me the £150 or admit any wrongdoing. Literally the worst company I have ever dealt with.

    Absolute scam rip off company - DO NOT USE…read more I called them to report a leak coming from my bathroom in a top floor flat. The leak was a slow trickle going into the flat below so needed to be fixed before it became a major issue. I explained the situation to their office staff and asked if they would need access to the flat below. The resolutely said they would not require access to the flat below. The plumber turned up, took one look at bathroom and said he couldn't do anything without access to the flat below and promptly left, having spent literally under two minutes on site. I call again to explain the situation and they offer to send the plumber around again. This time I coordinate access to the flat below. The plumber comes around, takes one look at the flat below and promptly says the issue is leaky sealant around the bath. Clearly proving the plumber did not require access to the flat below. The plumber then left stating he didn't have the equipment to complete the job (so a plumber rocks up without bathroom sealant). A third call to this clown show and the plumber finally comes around with sealant and doesn't ask for access to the flat below and finally replaces the faulty sealant. Total charge £492 for a 30 minute job and a tube of sealant that costs around £10. DO NOT TOUCH THESE SCAMMERS.

    Typical rip-off company, citing a lower than average call out charge but packing on ludicrous…read moreadd-ons that were unnecessary. Called them for a plumber to unblock a toilet. I specifically asked, and was specifically told, that the plumber would call me in advance of turning up to the site. He did not, so when I arrived, he already had his 'machine' out, so they could bump up the charges, when in fact, having had a similar problem two months ago, I knew no machine was required. This was a simple job, that required either a half decent plunger, or feeding thru a short pipe length to unblock the paper blockage. I know how this works, and of course we will never use this firm again, nor recommend it. The 'transparent pricing' claim is irrelevant, the operation is like a scam. Cost £167 for 30 minutes work, with maybe 3 minutes using his 'machine'. Our regular plumber (currently away) charged £50+vat, for exactly the same task, and spent longer doing a more professional job by lifting up the outside drains to check all clear. Oh, and no 'machine' was needed.
