Repairs

The faults other people cannot find.

Twenty years of breakdowns means Chris has usually seen your fault before. He diagnoses it properly, tells you what it will cost to fix, and tells you honestly if the boiler is not worth fixing.

Fault finding is the part of the job Chris enjoys most. A boiler that locks out, loses pressure, makes a noise it should not or heats the water but not the radiators has a cause, and finding it is a matter of method rather than guesswork. He carries diagnostic equipment and the common parts for the boilers he sees most.

You will get a straight answer. If the repair is sensible, he does it. If the boiler is old, out of parts or going to keep failing, he will say so and give you a figure for replacing it instead, with no pressure either way.

HeatCare does not offer a 24-hour emergency service. We work 8am to 5pm, seven days a week, and fit breakdowns in as quickly as the diary allows. If you smell gas, call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 first, before anything else.

Questions

The things people ask us.

How do you charge for a repair?

By the hour for the diagnosis and repair, plus any parts. We tell you the rate before we come out and the cost of parts before we fit them.

Can you come out today?

Sometimes. Send a message with your postcode, the boiler make and model and what it is doing, and we will tell you the first slot we have.

My boiler is old. Is it worth repairing?

Often yes, once. If it is going to need a run of repairs, we will say so. The decision is yours and we will not push you towards a new boiler you do not need.

Reviews

What customers say.

“Chris has just installed a new boiler for us and we are so pleased with the job he has done. His work is outstanding, he was incredibly neat and tidy, very knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble for him. He turned up on the date he said he would at the arranged time and got straight to work. Not only that, he is such a nice, kind person and if we could give him ten stars we would do. We most certainly would recommend him without a doubt.”

“Chris has been our go-to plumber for a while now and he's been spot on every time. Really flexible and always does his best to fit us in, even at short notice. Turns up when he says he will and just gets on with it. Work is always to a high standard and he leaves everything clean and tidy. Easy to deal with, no drama, and you know the job will be done properly. Wouldn't use anyone else. Highly recommended.”

“After being told by British Gas our boiler no longer had parts available and would need replacing, we contacted Chris with pictures of the boiler who identified that parts were available and confirmed part numbers with the local distributor. 3 hours later (after 2 visits from British Gas) Chris arrived and replaced the failing parts. He had also suggested changing the ignition parts which were completely worn down. 30 mins later the boiler was back up and running. After almost 48 hrs without heating or hot water, Chris had restored our boiler and my 91 year old mother was very greatful. I recommend Chris and his business highly. He was professional, easy going and really knows his stuff. *****Five Stars*****”
