i have used boiler guide in the past and would steer away from them imho ..

seemed to have a lot of dud leads
 
is service magic now called holmes media?

seem to get loads of emails from them referencing boilers

No it's gone to quotatis or something like that.

I used to just get boiler service and breakdowns off service magic had a few but some were just a waste of time wanting to pay ÂŁ20 and stuff like that. It's a shame you can't pick and choose which ones you want to but a bit like rated people as you can usually sort the bad ones out before you buy.
 
Holmes Media seems set up pretty well, think we're going to give it a try. Also spoke to Leads to You today, same kind of set up but a bit more expensive.
 
I use boiler guide, actually on an install this week from them. Any dud leads ie: wrong number, no replies etc then they do refund (I have had about 4 duff leads) also usual problem with potential customers who think replacing a back boiler costs ÂŁ1000 all in lol. This is the first install I have got the nod on through them and it was a last chance before I closed the account!

How long have you been using them and how many leads roughly did you buy?
 
Been with them since about sept, probably bought 9 or 10 leads of which 4 were no good, but at least they refunded without any quibbling! Alot of it depends on location with how many leads you can get around my area I dont get many as its the back of beyond but if you were near to a town/city I would imagine you would pick up a lot more leads!
 
Iv used boiler guide before, not so much anymore. The descriptions that the customers give are so brief it's sometimes hard to know what sort of lead your buying!

I also found most the customers wanted it in the cheap, they also don't appreciate that we pay for the leads & once has a customer who didnt bother answering the door & told me she changed her mind! No refund from boiler guide as it was past there 2 or 3 day complaint time!!! Grr! They also said it's the opportunity to quote, not there fault the customer changed there mind so will sometimes quibble a refund!
 
How do these company's manage to get all these leads in the first place ? don't see them advertising apart from rated people, our local yellow pages must have hundreds of local plumbers, What guarantee do they offer if you get a S--t job done or is it not there problem
