]]> Comment on LH Cook, Plumber, fitting a shower, tradesmen stories by John http://www.halmaclean.co.uk/2005/03/02/old25/comment-page-1/#comment-51615 John Fri, 03 Feb 2012 10:38:56 +0000 http://748496588#comment-51615 Had a similar experience with LH Cook. Back in 2004-5 they attended to bleed our system due to an airlock. In the process a secondary central heating pump was taken off to vent the sytem, afterwards we only had 2 or 3 rooms with any heat in them. Thinking it was still an airlock Len Cook himself arrived 2 days before Christmas and proceeded to turn the pump on and off to free the airlock, after a couple of minutes a circuit in the boiler blew. Blaming the boiler and not being able to do anything about it he left resulting in a very miserable Christmas. Having had enough of LH Cook I got another engineer in and despite not knowing the system (very complicated) pinpointed the problem, the secondary pump had been re-installed back to front meaning it was pushing against the pump in the boiler! Everything was put right a circuit board in the boiler replaced and warmth returned. A month late an invoice arrived, I can't remember now for how much, but suffice to say we didn't pay a penny and received a threatening letter which I took delight in replying to listing ALL of their failings and quoting the comments from the engineer who had fixed the heating. We heard nothing more, the man is clearly used to trying to bully people into paying. Jumping forward to the present finds us in a new house with an oil boiler which is playing up. My wife found an old service booklet from Bournbrook heating in Bishops Stortford and gave them a call. An engineer arrived quite promptly, touched a pipe and stated it was warm therefore the heating was ok despite being told we kept having to manually restart the boiler and the temperature in the radiators was going down all the time. He reluctantly changed a filter then drilled a hole in the flue to check the CO2 filling it back up with putty even though there was a dedicated inspection port 2" below had he gone to the trouble of opening the top casing! Result this morning was freezing as the boiler had cut out again overnight so I phoned Bournbrook and was very surprised to hear that they had been taken over by non other than LH Cook. After being passed around the office Len Cook came on the phone, on asking my name his memory obviously churned over and he made a pretence of not being able to hear me and just put the phone down. My wife has just spoken to Aquatec, another heating company, and told them of the goings on with bad engineers she was asked outright 'was it Cooks'? Well for me that was a classic and I would be interested if anybody else on this micro blog has thought of contacting trading standards before someone else is taken for a ride. Clearly as in any walk of life there will be people who have had a good service, however I think there seems to be a weight of opinion against LH Cook including from within his own industry now that does show they could be a candidate for 'That's Life' (if anybody remembers that programme).
