Deceptive individuals claiming to be boiler engineers swindled me out of £200. They falsely diagnosed a gas valve issue and claimed parts were unavailable, both of which were untrue. Dishonest and unprofessional.

Expert Opinion
Watch out for calls from this number – they often claim to be Emergency Response Group, a plumbing and heating service, but many victims report hidden fees, over‑charging and unfinished work. If you receive an unexpected call, verify the company's registration with Trading Standards before handing over any card details. Ask for a written quote and confirm there are no surprise call‑out charges. Should the caller pressure you for immediate payment, hang up and contact the company directly via a known website or phone line. Keep a record of the call and report persistent harassment to the Information Commissioner’s Office.

ERG provided excellent plumbing services this week, dispatching a skilled contractor who efficiently located and fixed the leak.
I was impressed with the service provided after being let down by another company, and I am pleased with the results.

I had an emergency boardup done by them last week and it was fine
ERG, or Emergency Response Group, is the company behind this number; they offer plumbing services, but beware of their overcharging tactics and disregard for customer complaints.
