Excellent service. Very prompt arrangement of appointment on line, and very easy to book. Service Engineer Alex kept us informed and phoned to confirm arrival time, well within the time slot advised. Very efficient diagnosis of the machine fault and repaired loose connection to cure the fault with the non-functioning washer/dryer heater. Would recommend Glotech in future. Many thanks.

We had a booking between eight and 1. I called at 830 to get a time estimate. They told me it would probably be closer to 2. At 2:15 they said they were behind. Maybe 430. Then at 430 I called again. After taking a day off work, waiting all day they tell me they won't be able to make it. They never called me. I called each time. I asked to speak to a supervisor. They said he would call right back. Instead I got a call the next morning during my teaching time. They wanted me to take ANOTHER day off work. I asked for a late afternoon or Saturday. That was not a choice. The man said appointments are not guaranteed. Since when? If I cancel the website says I an be charged.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY, as many reviews stated, they will come around, charg you, tell you that somebody will call regarding the pricing of the part, and after chasing them they will tell that the part is not available or that they couldn't find it, when I first spoke to the man on the phone he literally said that they able to fix 95% of appliances, well not mine and from what I can see from other reviews they definitely DO NOT fix 95% of appliances,I'm starting to question if they don't do it on purpose as there are lots of 1 star reviews stating exactly the same problem, part not found or not available or whatever, sound a bit like bs for a company that can fix almost every appliances, ended up spending 90£ for someone to come and tell me what I already knew, robbing people, ridiculous

I opted for Glotech repairs due to the promise of 'fully equipped vans'. After booking I received two emails - one from Glotech confirming the appointment and another from a company I hadn't heard of asking me to confirm the appointment. I contacted the latter to tell them I hadn't booked them and they told me they were subcontractors to Glotech. Glotech hadn't disclosed the use of subcontractors - their (Glotech) words being the work would be done by one of their 'local engineers'. During the booking call, I mentioned that my plumber had said it was likely to be the pump - however, the engineer who came didn't have that part. He told me to wait for an email with a quote for the part, which once I accepted, could be ordered and then, when it arrived, could be fitted. On reaching out to Glotech for the quote and they directed me to the sub-contracted firm. I expressed my dissatisfaction with the lack of transparency regarding subcontracting for this very reason - that I was being told to deal with a separate company instead of Glotech who I had actually engaged. The Glotech representative argued that their mention of "one of our local engineers" implied subcontractors. When I pointed out that using the word local between 'our' and 'engineer' does not mean subcontractors. He dismissively rejected this saying it was a matter of semantics and I was the only person to be confused by this. I have no problem with the actual firm that the work has been subcontracted to but I do not like the empty promise of a fully equipped van, the lack of transparency regarding who is carrying out the work and I didn't like the attitude of the Glotech representative I spoke to the second time.

Unfortunately despite the one of labour charge at the sum of £112 they then provide you with a quote for a repair that is far from competitive. As a non expert i can procure a compressor direct from the manufactures as in Hotpoint considerably cheaper than Glotech, they also cannot guarantee a re-gas hence defeats the object of a repair. In summary it is nothing more than a sales gimmick as in one of fee than provide you with a unrealistic cost for repair hence cheaper to procure brand new fridge freezer ! I can only imagine that they make £112 per visit and do not carryout any repairs by providing an unrealistic, uncompetitive cost for repair of which they cannot guarantee such as a re-gas hence defeats the object. Never trust a company has nothing but 5 star reviews as again making money by simply paying you a visit knowing if they provide you with a unrealistic cost for repair so therefore they don't have to supply any labour at £112 one off fee. If I can obtain the part cheaper direct from the manufactures than them of who, should have a better rate than me as in a one off then they are far from competitive. I will ensure get this out to as many social platforms as possible to prevent people from being ripped off!

Avoid this company- I wish I had the read the previous reviews It is a call centre who give work to independent engineers who live in your area. All parts are ordered through Glotech (you pay before they can be ordered) so parts first arrive with Glotech and then forwarded to engineer so expect a long delay between visits; eg 2 weeks. I had 3 parts fitted across 2 visits and still my machine was not working and so offered another visit (3 weeks) Gave up and had it fixed by CheckaTrade engineer, who having asked me several questions to establish the fault, arrived following day and replaced the first part fitted by Glotech as it was the wrong size (ie too small) for my machine. I wonder how many visits it would have taken for this to have been resolved by Glotech (if ever) and how many other parts could have been replaced before it cost me more than a new machine. Shocking company and an expensive mistake made by me for using it.

Three Engineer visits, expensive new part and still not fixed. Have spent over £200 and got nothing to show for it. Their offer is to order yet another part from them at over £100, but who knows if this would actually work, they certainly don't. Avoid this company.

Extremely expensive! Extremely rude and late engineer! Had to wait 5 days to get a ‘simple’ standard dishwasher part, (simple YouTube’ing told me that! Engineer arrived in a brand new Coupe Mercedes, not even a van! Carried no ‘basic’ parts! A time slot to return to fit the part of 8:00 till 5:00 pm! … whilst I take a whole day off work! … culminates in a complete rip off and bad customer service and consideration! NOT USING AGAIN! EVER!

I booked for a repair for my tumble dryer. The engineer visited and didn't have the part. I paid him for the visit, which included his return visit for the repair. Head office then rang to say it was a two person job and I would have to pay for another engineer. Total cost would be more than a new machine. The refused to refund me for my initial payment. Terrible service. Company trying to rip off customers

Do avoid at all costs. The main aim is to get your money and then to say sorry it’s unrepeatable without even talking a multimeter out or any other means to diagnose the fault. No diagnosis was offered apart from it could be this or it could be that. 40% success rate if that is tried bla bla bla Very disappointed and can only surmise how much money is made through this kind of scam

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Technician came 3 times, each time not resolving the issue and even making it worse !! No admission of mistake, completely dishonest and charged for repairs that not only did not resolve the issue but completely destroyed the machine !!!! supposedly I put paper in the machine and I am responsible ?! Like a piece of paper accidentally getting in the drum could destroy a machine and they also couldn't fix that in 3 visits ???!!

Booked an appointment on line and they confirmed with the time and date I requested. The Engineer came on time and was respectful and was very knowledgeable and was able to thoroughly check my washing machine and diagnose accurately the issue and replaced the faulty part. I am very pleased to say they are reliable and professional company.

My first time leaving a review but I’m so disappointed with this company for their shoddy behaviour. I booked online for a service and 2 minor repairs which I had diagnosed to a range cooker the date I’d chosen was changed for their convenience. I contacted them the day before to confirm that I wanted a service and repairs but had no response. The engineer who came said they don’t service the cookers but he checked the oven and said we needed a couple of parts which would be ordered and he’d return to install them. I paid him £135 54 A week later we received a call telling us they couldn’t source the parts so would return £80 to us . I requested the full amount as no work had been done. I spoke to a passive aggressive woman who told me I should have rung them to book an appointment and they would have told me they didn’t service the cookers. She was unpleasant to say the least . So they have charged me over £55 for nothing. I urge any one reading this review to take their custom elsewhere, to a company that has some customer service.

From the first phone call we expected great service. Instead they have taken my mother in laws money, not fixed or replaced her dishwasher and are now refusing to give her pension back to her. Stay away!

I had someone called out to look at my Dishwasher and Fridge- freezer, so disappointed and upset by the whole experience!! I paid £89 per appliance!! for one visit £180 in all, the man that arrived was officious and unhelpful He stated the fridge-freezer couldn’t be fixed because the model number was no longer visible He looked at the dishwasher and said he needed a part to repair it and I would be contacted to confirm Nobody contacted me, I called them to find out they couldn’t fix this either. I had to call again and ask for the diagnostic report to be sent over A complete waste of time, energy and a lot of money for 10 minutes for some bloke to tut, shake his head and leave!!!
