Blocked kitchen sink
July 18, 2019

We had a blocked kitchen sink and called Righto. They did come out within 2 hours of our call. I was quoted for half an hour call out charge but it was not made clear that this could easily take longer.

So the plumber came to our door without any tools. Took his time to get to our 2nd floor and look at our blocked kitchen sink. Then went to his van that was parked a walk down the road and came back with a plunger - and when that did not work, he returned to his van to get a coil rod. He was very friendly and had all the time in the world to chat and take his time. It was a simple job and the coil unblocked our sink. He had spend just under an hour in our house. The bill was £ 351. A totally con business.

Extremely disappointed
July 15, 2019

Had my work done 3/4weeks ago. Received a request by Rightio to give a review and I would receive a M&S £10 voucher within 2 weeks. Very disappointed to still be waiting for it.! Makes me wonder if it was a ploy to get a good review. Fred Good *******

Beware of rip off Rightio
July 5, 2019

L was charged £112,80 for being told by a plumber from Rightio that my cistern needed replacing, which l already knew. The plumber stayed 3 minutes, said that l would get a quote for the job, l never heard from them, and they took the money out of my account 2 weeks later. No work was done, no paper work was sent to me, and no explanation of the money stolen from my account. L had foolishly given them my bank card details, incase they did the job. L spoke to the complaints department who said the charge for Diagnostics. This meant that the plumber had said "you need a new cistern" so this was an expensive sentence. Rightio has decided that they will not refund this money. Public be warned about this company

BOTCHED AND RIPPED OFF
June 27, 2019

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY - They did some work for my mother who is elderly with Alzheimer's and did a completely botched job, yet charged her an absolute fortune (£200+!). We asked them to fix a broken door handle, however they only changed the spindle. After a couple of weeks, it broke again and they had to come back out to repair the handle that they should have repaired in the first place, however they charged a further £200+ for another callout.

They have taken advantage of an elderly lady on her own, knowing that she would not say "No" to paying. We were in desperate need to have the door fixed, therefore paid the money. I have since written to Rightio to outline our complaints and they have failed to respond.

PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

Terrible
May 15, 2019

Ive had an engineer come out and paid 140 pound.
He replaced a radiator valve and fixed the radiator to the wall
The valve is still leaking and the radiator has fell off the wall as he only put in one screw and no wall plug

I called up and they came out to check while i was not in, my partner was
The engineer had said the pipe is not leaking and the radiator was done out of good will (i paid 140 pound an hour it is not good will)

I have rang again multiple times and they are refusing to come and fix the leak, causing damage to my cieling

Did a great job
February 28, 2019

From the very start, I found your people to be very attentive, professional and clearly able to communicate exactly what would happen and when it would happen. Nigel, the plumber who did the work was great. It turned out that he lives not many miles away from us. He did a great job and, as of now, everything seems to be o. K. I hope I'm not going to regret saying that with the sort of week we have had.

The plumber John who came was excellent knew his stuff and did not mess about wasting any time he diagnosed the problem and fixed it straight away he was polite friendly and knowledgeable and it was a great relief to have my elderly mothers issue sorted in such a professional way and it is very refreshing to have a trades person explain what they are doing and not be patronising.
