“I had a few tasks for this company. They sent an engineer who completed a couple of the easier ones. He failed to fix one of our biggest issues which was to do with radiators. Also, in the course of changing a light fitting he carelessly stood on our bannister, broke it and said he’d come back to fix it. A week later he and others at the company tried to charge me £420 to do that. When challenged they claimed it wasn’t their fault and was an unavoidable accident. They are not to be be trusted. Other reviews here seem to also be negative about their service.”

“My new tenant did not know how to turn the heating on and as I live abroad I asked VHL to send someone to turn it on and checkout a possible leak on the radiator as well. I was asked to pay £120 upfront which would cover an hours work as well. The enginerr arrived 45 min late, spent barely 30 minutes in the flat, said he could not turn the heating on without pretty much replacing the whole system for £2580! So in effect they took £120 just as a call out charge. I called to complain and Chad promised to escalate the matter to management. Few days later all I get is the official quote for the work which was £2580! I fosmt feel comfortable with this so I asked another engineer to visit and quote me for the work. He not only got the heating on just by turning a key on the radiator but also said no other wirk was needed at all. So I will say, run a mile away from VHL they are going to rip you off and are too big to care about even responding to a complaint!!! I am attaching their quote and my tenants comments after the second engineers visit so you csn see for yourself how bad this company is.”

“I got my boiler installed in March 2021 from village heating, prior to installation, clearly because they were going to get a substantial amount of money, they were prompt but since the boiler has been installed I’ve had to call them 3 times and their service has been appalling. I sent emails after emails requesting for my warranty pack for the boiler which still hasn’t been sent to me. Just 2 days ago I called them as my boiler was making a shuddering noise, an engineer came who was extremely unprofessional and couldn’t wait to leave after 5 minutes of being there. He lied in his report that he fixed the boiler and when I sent email and video proof to the operational director telling him about the really bad service I had received and that the boiler was still make a shuddering noise, I received no response at all. Disgusted by their customer service. I paid £90 for absolutely nothing and they aren’t even refunding my money. Totally unreliable!!!!”

“Shameful company. Taking advantage of emergency call-outs. I explained my issue to the person on the phone. Called back to make sure they carry basic materials to fix common toilet issues. They require payment upfront. The plumber shows up without inlet valve, which is a basic material. Then they wanted to come back the next day and charge £200 to fix it, in addition to the £160 already charged, claiming it takes 3 hours to replace an inlet valve. So now I have been charged and my issue is not permanently fixed. Very unprofessional to show up without required materials. Plumber could have picked up parts at the shop, but didn't want to do that, it was only 5 minutes away.”

“I got a call from someone at the time the engineer was supposed to arrive to say that she was sick and couldn't come. I told the person on the phone to please not send her again when the appointment was rescheduled as I couldn't believe I was told this when I was expecting the engineer; why wasn't I informed in advance? Despite the person I spoke to telling me he wouldn't send her for the rescheduled appointment I received an email informing me that the same person would be coming. This is an unreliable company that doesn't listen. In the end I cancelled the appointment and booked a self-employed engineer who came on the same day. I won't use this company again. Also, they have taken payment and I bet I'll have to keep chasing them for my money back. Terrible company.”

“We had an appointment with you back in March - your engineer failed to arrive and yet £100 was taken from our account!!! I have chased this up with yourselves several times. This is appalling service from start to finish!! Could someone please refund our money! We are a small inner-city primary school suffering the effects of budget cuts and the extra expense of Covid.”

“Terrible company engineer went to my daughters house to replace boiler, spent all day there and couldn’t do it, used my daughters perching stool as a base for his ladder to access loft, which left marks on it,used her dish cloths tea towel and kitchen towel to clean up, scratched flooring , black marks on blinds step stool outside ruined , village heating have not addressed this at all, massive crack in the ceiling , not interested in resolving complaints just interested in requesting the negative reviews to be removed.”

“Worst company ever, the plumber knew he couldn’t fix the problem but said I can try for another hour and it might get fixed, when I agreed he worked for another 35 minutes then said sorry I can’t fix it you need to call the council, oh and of course he charged me for the full extra hour. Unbelievable sly people in this world”

“If there were no stars I would give them that. Do not use this company. I used them for an Electrical Safety Certificate and they tried to charge mefor things thatdidn't need doing (over 1000pounds extra) .I got an honest company to do the job and paid one third of the charges. When Iquestioned why theywere asking me to dothings that werenot within myflat (their engineer went into the Freeholders cupboard whichis outside my flat and said would not giveme a certificate unless the Freeholder did workswith him, luckily the Freeholder had a valid NICEIC ). When I confronted them they were rude and unhelpful. They wasted so much of my time just to try and overcharge me. Worst company EVER!!!! In addition the engineer they sent round was rude to my tenants and told them the flat was dangerous when all that was required forthe NICEIC was an up to dat consumer unit which someone did and past the certificate for 500 pounds when VHL where asking for 1600 pounds. Complete rip off.”

“I have paid for EICR visit and remedial work, but to date there is NO EICR REPORT! Every day I have called this past week and in fact today I called 3 times. At 640pm today after a whole week of chasing up, the out of hours service said the "Supervisor has now left' and it would be sent tomorrow, when at 540pm they said he was there at the office and working on my report! I am getting the impression that this is all a HOAX AND A SCAM!”

“Engineer arrived on time cost over £100 before he arrived. He left while I was out saying nothing and had a report sent saying the psb needed replacing and I needed a new boiler which I don’t. After a phone call I was told they would order a part but couldn’t say when it would arrive. Fortunately my own gas engineer who was unavailable today rang back to say part was no problem and he’d fit it tomorrow. Don’t trust this company and the engineer was not particularly pleasant.”

“AWFUL COMPANY - AVOID AT ALL COSTS. The worst company I’ve ever come across, the turn up once and do not return. They say someone will call you back, and they don’t. You are forever chasing them. I feel so sorry for elderly people who do not have anyone to help them chase them up. They leave people without heating and hot water for weeks on end. All contracts should be cancelled. Should be ashamed of themselves.”

“Appalling company, have had similar experience in the past but never got round to leaving a review. A shambles of a company and the director should take a closer look into how his operation is running, I’m sure he would be ashamed. Contacted on Monday regarding my disabled daughters heating and hot water, was booked for Tuesday 8am-1pm took the day off of work to be there to open the door. Engineer finally turned up at 2:30 and said the office scheduled the job for 12-6pm. Was told by engineer that fan for boiler would be ordered. It is now Friday, I have contacted a number of to times and no response, nor has anyone even bothered to contact me back, Zero communication. My daughter is unable to wash and needs heating and a warm bath for medical reasons. She has been bed bound since Tuesday due to the cold affecting her bones and stiffening. The people in the office are extremely unprofessional and a group of young girls discussing personal life whilst putting me on hold but forgetting to actually put me on hold! Incredibly disgusted by the way we have been treated - ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS. Utterly appalling avoid at all cost.”
