What the odds of heat instal being help link marketing/recruitment dept.

I'd risk a healthy sum of money on it!

hi jtsplumbing . Late reply but il keep it short and sweet . I work for help link as a heating engineer . Help link was last years biggest boiler installation company beating the likes of British gas .. As for your comment . Do these guys actually install them properly . The answer is yes . We do . Help-link whilst not advertised much do work for n power and British gas them selves contact us to do their work . The prices the engineers are on vary on what jobs you get . I work In a 2 man team . We both earn .. Let's just say enough to live very comfortably . Your pay is based on units .. So 1 unit is 1 day .. When they give you 1 unit for a boiler change. This is a straight combi swap with no pump upgrade or extended gas run needed etc . It takes half a day to do . Help-link surveys are done to perfection and I can assure you I've had no issues what so ever .. For any one reading this . I would recommend for you to work for help-link they are a great company they pay well and look after their engineers

Pump upgrade on a combi swap FFS !

 

[Heat instal]

Meant to add or heat only before that pump upgrade comment .. To confused as to why so many people are slagging help link of when in actual fact they are strict as anything when it comes to good quality work . I also am not a office worker for help link I am in fact one of the engineers yours slagging off �� bare with me while I upload some of our areas installs .

Just catching up with some of the replies ! Wonder if our friend from Heat Instal would like to comment on the photo's that have been sent in !! Are they flushing the systems, and is he prepared to tell us what 2 men get paid for changing a combi in half a day ??

Pop the photos straight into the hall of shame :rofl: Just kidding. Whilst your work might be impeccable you can't vouch for the quality of the entire companies work. I have been to a couple of help link jobs that have been left in an awful state.

Haha, there's no chance he works for helplink, not as a fitter at least. Anyone who's ever been in cas plumb centre on a Monday knows all the lads are constantly moaning about the surveys being shyte.

They're a joke.

A friend of mine had help link in about twenty weeks ago, and nineteen, and eighteen, and seventeen, can you see where I'm going with this?

He asked me to take a look, told him no point, he has a 10 year warranty and I'm not gsr. But I did advise him that the condensate really shouldnt come out the gable wall in 21.5mm plastic and be siliconed straight into his cast iron down pipe.

 

[stevetheplumber]

all surveyors on these firms are shyte their actually salesmen with a one day course in surveys and a tick box sheet

 

[jtsplumbing]

Still waiting for all these photo's that Heat-Instal promised ! Maybe camera's not working

 

[Reg Man]

Just highlights deficiency in quality control. Most of the drive is about banging the jobs out to optimise profit, not about how it looks and what the customer is left with.

At least he can solder,unlike my man in the private forum ! Is that a fruit bowl?

Of course the answer is to be an office wallah or surveyor/salesperson for help link. I suspect you will make some money but more importantly, have some respect,go home at 5pm and not have to flog your tripe out and be exploited like their toolbags may be.
