Our Trusted Plumbers are Recognised by Face of  Which

The entire team are proud to win the Face of Which? Trusted Traders competition and to have our services recognised by such a respected organisation. The plumbing and heating industry can be chaotic at the best of times, however Heppelthwaite have an experienced and dedicated customer care department. An operator will take ownership of a call and manage the customers requirements to a satisfactory conclusion. They have a team of qualified general plumbers and Gas Safe heating engineers, and can react to emergencies and planned renovations and services alike. In the instances where parts are required to fix the problem, Heppelthwaite understand that the majority of customers will want it resolved the same day. The customer care operator and plumbing engineer will do everything possible to ensure this happens. However, if it can’t be fixed that day, Heppelthwaite have a “priority team” that will organise a repeat engineer visit at the customer’s earliest convenience. All the Heppelthwaite Red Van plumbing and heating engineers have tracked vehicles, mobile phones and tablets so that the team can communicate and ensure the customer experience is a good one.

Heppelthwaite don’t pretend to be perfect and from time to time have issues to resolve like all businesses do. However, the entire team are passionate, experienced and reactive to issues ensuring as little inconvenience to the customer as possible. Being able to monitor the location of the Red Van Plumbers vans ensures the team can be reactive in co-coordinating all engineers effectively and communicate with the customer in the unlikely event of a delay. A constant review of the service, combined with new initiatives has enabled the company to improve its service year by year, this is why the company have a huge repeat customer and recommendation rate. A great reputation and customer relationships are key to the success of the company and this is something in which we take great pride.

The Which? Trusted Traders Team have said “All consumers want outstanding customer service from tradespeople so we set out to find three ‘faces’ for Which? Trusted Traders who advocate this customer-focused approach. Our three competition winners demonstrated that they go the extra mile to delight their customers and are already seeing the benefits to their business.
