I booked a washing-dryer repair through Glotech back in March. An engineer diagnosed the issue, ordered a part, and after waiting over 5 weeks returned - but was unable to complete the repair, even after modifying the part. I was left with exactly the same issue, despite paying £160.94. To be fair, the contractor has offered a refund for the part as a goodwill gesture. However, both the contractor and Glotech have refused to refund the labour charge. From my perspective, there are only two fair outcomes: 1. The repair is possible In that case, the engineer was not able to complete the job, and I would expect a refund of the labour or for another engineer to be arranged to finish the repair at no extra cost. 2. The appliance is genuinely beyond repair However, this is a washer-dryer less than 2 years old, still sold on the market, with a leaking gasket — a very common and normally repairable issue. If this truly cannot be repaired, it raises concerns about the product itself, which is why I intend to seek a second opinion from LG. I have requested basic technical details (such as the exact part used) to verify the assessment, but these have not been provided. I am currently still awaiting a final response from Glotech and would prefer to resolve this directly. If not, I will be escalating the matter further, including via Citizens Advice. Like with many services, everything works well when things go smoothly. The real value is shown when problems arise — and unfortunately, this is where this experience has fallen short. Overall: long delays, no repair, and no accountability

Needed urgent help help with my washing machine. Contacted Glotech booked for Thursday but they called with an earlier slot coming on Monday. Darren the engineer was very helpful and professional and managed to resolve the issue. Can’t thank them enough and would definitely recommend. Thanks.

My washing machine decided to play up and I contacted Glotech. Carlos turned up on time the next day. He explained what he was doing, was very respectful of my property and also gave me some tips to stop it happening in the future. If I ever have any more problems in the future I will use Glotech and will recommend them

Booked for an appointment 8-1pm. They confirmed the appointment. No one turned up. I phoned the company. They said the engineer would phone me. They didn’t. Haven’t heard from them since. If you want to waste 5 hours give them a call!

Please read before you call this company to help you . They have sent me an engineer to fix my tumble dryer and he was unable to tell me what was the issue with it, he was guessing that it might be the engine without testing it just listening with his ears for any noise, or the control board same not testing it with anything. Then he said we will change the engine and if is not that we’ll change the control board , really? Paid the bill for nothing 98£ just for the call out and then get a quotation of another 300£ to replace the engine again he was not sure if that was the issue, how can someone pay this bill and not getting a guarantee as that is the issue? Not recommended to anyone it’s just to rip off the customers as you have to pay for the call out as per term and conditions they have. Please look for someone more reliable and trustworthy.

AVOID. The engineer was rude and verging on threatening to my wife, making her feel very uncomfortable in her own home. Even I didn't feel comfortable with him there in truth. Then, within a week, one of the hob burners stopped working again, so I called up to ask them to send someone out to fix it properly, and was told there would be a further £66 subsequent callout charge! Absolutely no understanding or discretion from the manager Imogen, who just kept repeating that it is in the T&Cs. Shocking service, and shocking customer service.

Spoke to someone yesterday about the issue I am having with my fridge freezer. Got booked in today for a repair. Haven’t heard anything today so called back and there was no record of my booking. Went through the booking process again and was asked all the same questions as yesterday. And I have in my call log that I spoke to someone yesterday on the same number for a similar time period. Anyway found out today, they can’t even help… stayed home today waiting round. Time wasters!!

DO NOT USE! The operative arrived, told me the freezer was 20 years old. He couldn’t get parts. He only checked the self test when I asked him to. I later managed to decode the FD number, 0005 and found it was manufactured in 2020 hence 6 years old. Still don’t know what is wrong with it. He left and charged my £99! It’s impossible to use their complaints system. Won’t accept text due to ‘security issue’ Disgusting Why don’t you do something about this Bosch?

DO NOT BOOK WITH GLOTECH! The pricing structure isn’t fair, they will just pass you on to a local provider, and just want to take your money! I booked for a CDA wine cooler repair - which looked very reassuring on the website (we can fix this etc) and when I booked it over the phone, Glotech didn’t ask for any info about the make or model or the issue… I ended up paying £120 for someone to come and tell me in 5 minutes that the compressor is broken and that CDA look to have discontinued the part, so nothing they can do but I still had to pay the full amount. I asked Glopoint if they could offer a partial refund but they said there was nothing they can do. Too late for me, and have learned an expensive lesson - but wanted to post here in case this helps anyone! Would check your make and model and look for someone local who will charge just for the diagnosis. Glotech - it was obviously in your interest to just take my booking and not offer any partial refund, but I won’t be booking again and will be telling as many people that I can about the poor service!

Do not trust them with your repairs. Engineers do not turn up when they are supposed to, when they do arrive, they are not experienced enough to identify and fix a fault that was found and fixed by another company in less than 5 minutes. When raising this as a complaint with the head office, my concerns have been ignored and when not wanting to pay for the poor ‘service’ received, rather than trying to make this right they claimed they had emailed and called but could provide no proof. They then sent a threatening letter telling me that I had 7 days to pay or it would be sent to a debt collection agency. When I called them minutes after I received the letter they refused to discuss the matter telling me that they had already referred the matter to the debt collection agency. I was then forced to pay £130 for a repair that never happened which included a £30 admin charge. At the same time I have sent an email asking for a reduction in this charge to reflect the poor service. I received a reply very quickly telling me the matter is now closed with no attempt to respond to any of my requests.

The only good thing about Glotech is they turned up on the right day. The technician spent 15mins to look at my fridge freezer! When I asked for a report I was sent a shoddy couple of sentences on a email with several spelling mistakes, not a report at all. I was Promptly charged £109 for a service which didn’t exist! What a Royal rip off!

I paid for an engineer visit today to fix a 'tap' error message on my dishwasher that has worked perfectly for years. After only a cursory look underneath (where I didn't see any water leak) he said there was a leak and I needed a new dishwasher and Biotech could order me one. I should have looked up how to fix this error which I now see seems often to be a simple enough one and eminently doable. The engineer didn't suggest anything else could be checked like the hose etc. (or do any other checks) and just tried to persuade me to purchase a new machine. I agree with others - this is not a reputable company and just wants to make money persuading customers to buy new machines from them. Highly unrecommended.

Do not use this company! They charge upfront then make an excuse to leave before you can talk to them then expect you to pay the call out charge again! They went to fix a small leak in the washing machine seal. The machine was usable just a small leak. They half took out the rubber seal then said the spare part was the worn one (we supplied) engineer left before I could speak to him. He was there (10 minutes) I call ed there office for a price on the rubber seal and was told they would call me back. They didn’t call me back and my daughter waited in expecting the engineer to return. No phone call back from the office. Awful service! I called them at the end of the day and offered to pay for the spare part but they insisted I play another £100 for the engineer to go back. I asked that they return the washing machine to its working condition by putting the original seal back and they refused. I said I would leave some feedback and wouldn’t be using them again. The next day they called and said they would return to fix the new seal of I paid for the seal and took down my reviews. I will not do that as the company are complete scammers and people need to be warned.

What a blessing to have the expertise of A4 Kitchen Appliances engineers to take care of your domestic appliances. They are so helpful & professional. Recently replaced my oven & fridge/freezer removing the old ones too & at a competitive price! It took less than an hour leaving my home spotless. I highly recommend them.

Appointment arrange to fix dishwasher, indicator light flashing and dishwasher not working. Technician arrived, who topped up salt and rinse aid. He started machine and saw that it was running, charged £148 and left. Fault still exists and as I do not want this company to return, I am now £148 out of pocket and still have a non-functioning dishwasher. The technician didn't wait long enough for the fault to occur.
