Report
Charlie Nicol? No thanks. We thought we had found a reliable person to help service our elderly parents' boiler and other gas needs 2 years ago. How wrong we were! He came to "fix" mum's gas fire in July. He fitted a new valve, and said it was fine. We received his invoice on 7th invoice and we paid it within 5 minutes. When mum tried to use the fire end of August, it didn't work. I sent an email to Charlie as there was no great rush and he probably had other more urgent things to attend to.
Still had no answer after a few days so I called. He assured me he knew what the problem would be (so why hadn't he dealt with it when he was there?!) and that he'd come in the next few days. No Charlie. I sent another message, I called, I sent a WhatsApp. Silence. My brother tried contacting him, nothing. Mr Nicol - you knew full well there was an elderly lady who needed your help (and who had promptly paid your for your services) and yet, you didn't have the decency to either call back or turn up to resolve it.
Shame on you, Mr Nicol. Shame on you.
