Tincknell Heating

The contract was to remove the existing Heating Boiler and replace with a new Worcester Bosch Greenstar Danesmoor Utility Oil fired Boiler over a 3 day period 19 - 21 August. The team of 2 Technicians and one Apprentice arrived on time each day and worked to their published schedule with the team leader briefing us clearly at each stage of the work. All three were well presented, polite, courteous, cooperative and considerate and dealt with all our queries and observations including some additional tasks not originally planned for. All tasks were carried out professionally and they were very tidy workers clearing up as they went along. Once installed the new boiler was tested rigorously, the full heating system was flushed and cleaned twice before draining and refilling with inhibitor and final test. Several faults with radiators were rectified, a faulty new switch unit was replaced and a new floor air grille was fitted. The Team briefed my wife & I on all the controls, new equipment and actions to take in case of failures or emergencies and the manufacturer's guarantee and Tincknell Heating support. We were provided with a full set of manufacturer's operating manuals for each piece of new equipment. At time of completion and sign off, the Team presented my wife with a flower arrangement on behalf of the company. It was a job very well done!

For the 4th time Keith has done an excellent job servicing our LPG boiler and gas fire. Very reassuring. Thank you!

I want to express my deep disappointment and disgust with the way Tinknells has treated us. Following the engineer's visit, during which they fitted a new jet and bled the system, we immediately noticed a strong smell of kerosene. The engineer returned and claimed it was more likely to be carbon monoxide. We took matters into our own hands and discovered a leaking hose. We endured multiple visits from different engineers attempting to fix various problems, including the persistent leaks. This continued throughout the Christmas period, while we were subjected to a nauseating smell of kerosene that permeated our home. We lost count of the numerous times we had to contact Tinknells, yet we received no apology from the company, despite their engineers being responsible for the initial problem. Their lack of care and consideration towards us has left us feeling deeply let down. The situation persisted for approximately two months until an environmental consultant finally arrived and discovered that the leak had spread beneath the lino and into the skirting. Only then did the process of extracting the smell and replacing the damaged areas begin. We endured a total of 18 working days of disruptions due to engineers and environmental consultants visiting our property, while we spent 3 months living in an environment tainted by a horrific smell. We feel compelled to warn others about the appalling experience we endured with Tinknells. No customer should have to go through this.
