Rightio rip off.

The engineer arrived. He had a simple task to fit a radiator to my kitchen wall.
The pipework was already there.
He completed the task in an hour, and reassured me I would be charged for an hour.
He asked me to ring up and pay, which I did. Instead of being charged £200.00.
The lady demanded £400.00. When I complained, she said the job took 1 hour and 11 minutes. But dropped the price to £295.00. Considering the job done, and the time taken, this was far too expensive, a complete rip off of an elderly vulnerable gentleman.

Cancelled on me

Called up and they told me there was availability for the next day and took my card details.

They then called me in the morning, cancelled the appointment, and told me that there was no one available in my area and that I'd have to try another company.

Frustrating and also very bizzare considering they were advertised in our local area magazine.

Engineer very late

The boiler service was completed but the process was not efficient - the date was changed at short notice and for a morning appointment the engineer arrived at 4pm - I had been phoned at midday and told he would be there by 1pm. We had to change our plans as a result and will not use Rightio again for a boiler service

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

Whilst we're pleased that your boiler service was completed, we're sorry to hear that the arrangements surrounding your appointment fell short of expectations.

We appreciate how frustrating it must have been to have your appointment rearranged at short notice, particularly when the engineer's arrival was then significantly later than advised. We recognise the inconvenience this caused and the impact it had on your plans.

Your feedback is valuable and will be shared with the relevant team as we continue to improve our appointment scheduling and communication with customers.

We're sorry that your experience has left you feeling reluctant to use our services again and hope we may have the opportunity to restore your confidence in Rightio in the future.

Despite advertising “Nationwide…

Despite advertising “Nationwide coverage” and specifically mentioning the area where I live in the advert in “The Local Answer”, after 5 minutes waiting on the phone the operative said they could not provide a plumber in “that area”. So the advert is a lie. Can’t Co comment on their actual plumbers’ work as I’ll never see it in action!

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We advertise our services in areas where we have engineer coverage. However, there may be occasions where demand exceeds our available capacity, meaning we are temporarily unable to accept new bookings in a particular area.

Whilst we appreciate this may be disappointing, we believe it is important to be upfront with customers at the earliest opportunity, rather than commit to a service we cannot confidently deliver.

We're sorry we were unable to assist you on this occasion and appreciate you sharing your experience with us.

Attention trades!!

Attention trades!!! Avoid like the plague! They advertised a job for 100£+vat and then paid 40% of that, which was 48£. Customer charged 250£ for a 5 minute job. Avoid it using their services! I did this one job for them and requested to close down my account!

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

We would like to clarify that this review has been submitted by a former subcontracted engineer, rather than a customer of Rightio.

Our subcontractors operate under agreed commercial arrangements, with payment structures communicated as part of our engagement process. We recognise that these arrangements may not suit every individual, and subcontractors are free to make their own decisions about continuing to work with us.

We are disappointed that your experience did not meet your expectations, however we believe it is important to distinguish feedback relating to subcontractor payment arrangements from the experiences of customers using our services.

We wish you all the best in your future endeavours.

ICustomer feedback.

I was impressed with the efficient and courteous manner of the Rightio Engineer in effecting and demonstrating the repair which he carried out to my satisfaction. However the administrative time taken by Rightio (2 days) before the job was complete was overly long. Also while happy with the job done I felt the price was pretty steep.

This Company is Not what it Claims to be

Beware of signing any direct debit mandate allowing Rightio Plumbers and its associated company the "Care Club". This organisation has one real purpose only, and it's got nothing to do with providing customers with plumbing maintenance. The entire organisation has one purpose only: to sequester money from your bank account, so forget about customer service and get used to receiving threatening letters, telling you that they are sending bailiffs round.

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

We are sorry to hear of your dissatisfaction with your Care Club membership.

To provide some context, you initially employed Rightio to undertake plumbing works earlier this year, during which you also purchased a membership with our sister company, Care Club.

We understand that your concerns relate specifically to this membership and the subsequent correspondence you have received following the cancellation of your Direct Debit.

Care Club has attempted to engage with you regarding this matter, however, it has not yet been possible to discuss your concerns directly and work towards a resolution.

We would encourage you to contact the Care Club team on 0333 241 2490, who will be happy to discuss your membership, clarify any outstanding matters and explore an appropriate resolution.

Repair, NOT Repaired!

I needed a leak from my toilet cistern to be repaired. The response was quick and the contractor duly arrived on time.
However, the cistern still leaks, despite my payment of over £200 for 30 minutes work.
I am deeply disappointed by this repair and cannot afford another plumber to attend, so i live with this leak and continually mop up.

If I could give this company a zero…

If I could give this company a zero rating I would. They advertise a ‘local’ phone number but employ people all over as their agents. The agent visited my elderly mum for a little over 30 minutes. The boiler had low pressure and needed servicing. In the time the agent was present he released the water pressure, taking no more than 2 or 3 minutes and serviced the boiler. He left no paper work related to work undertaken. For this work my mum was charged in the region of £300. A complete rip-off. Avoid.

Never use Rightio

Booked Rightio plumber for my elderly inlaws 80+. They charged £600 for sink pipe leak. All he did was add a washer and change a bit pipe. Granted it was in an awkward position, but c'mon 2 old age pensioners being fleeced like this. The plumber/ contractor who came was embarrassed when he showed the bill to my wife. Never again using this company.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We're sorry to hear of your concerns regarding the cost of the work carried out at your in-laws' property.

Unfortunately, we have been unable to identify the booking from the details provided in your review, so we haven't been able to look into the circumstances surrounding the charges.

We would welcome the opportunity to investigate this further and address the concerns you have raised. Please contact our Customer Service Team on 0808 208 1009, where we will be happy to review the details of the visit and discuss this with you.

Predatory pricing, shocking plumbing standards, and terrible service

Do not use Rightio. They use predatory tactics to inflate their bills, deliberately keeping the clock ticking while engineers collect materials, and they originally tried to scam me out of over £800 for bathroom work. I ultimately paid a premium fee of £585.77, which resulted in three emergency callbacks in just five days due to the appalling workmanship of their engineer, Sam Nolan. The tap he supplied leaked immediately, and after he attempted to fix it, a pressurised mains copper pipe completely disconnected and blew out. This catastrophic error has completely ruined my kitchen ceiling below with extensive water damage. This same engineer has a pattern of severe incompetence; it took him two failed attempts to install a kitchen sink at my home, during which he physically damaged the new sink, left it loose, left the kitchen tap completely loose, and even tried to leave the old kitchen sink abandoned out in the road until he was forced to return and collect it. A completely different engineer, Owen Bailey, had to be deployed on a separate visit just to tighten and rescue Sam's botched kitchen tap work. Despite written admissions of fault on the job sheets from their own staff, Rightio's complaints team is refusing a refund and denying legal liability. They take your cash, destroy your property, breach your consumer rights, and dodge accountability. Avoid this company at all costs.
Advice if Rightio botched your home:
• Document the destruction: Take clear, time-stamped photographs of any water staining, bubbling plaster, or structural property damage caused by their leaks.
• Get your proof: Demand copies of the engineers' job sheets immediately before they can be altered or deleted from their system.
• Skip their complaints team: Call your bank straight away to start a Chargeback (debit card) or Section 75 claim (credit card) for a total breach of contract and substandard service.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We are sorry to hear that you remain dissatisfied with your experience and the outcome of your complaint.

We have undertaken a detailed review of the circumstances surrounding your concerns, including the engineer's attendances, the information provided at the time of booking and the damage you have reported.

Whilst we acknowledge your dissatisfaction, we do feel it is important to clarify that the leak associated with your damage claim was reported to us as an existing issue at the point of booking. Having considered the information available, we have not found sufficient evidence to establish that the damage claimed was caused by the work undertaken by Rightio. For this reason, we have not been able to accept liability for the damage.

We recognise that this is not the outcome you had hoped for. However, our responsibility is to assess complaints fairly and objectively, considering the evidence available.

We take concerns regarding workmanship and customer service seriously, and we remain committed to addressing any shortcomings identified through our complaints process.

Whilst we respect your right to share your experience, we feel it is important to make clear that the allegations regarding our business practices do not reflect how we operate or the standards we expect to uphold.
