For repairs, the call-out and diagnosis are included in the repair cost. I'll always give you a fixed price before starting any work, so you know exactly what you're paying.

Do you guarantee your work?

Yes. My repairs come with a 12-month workmanship guarantee. For a new boiler, you get the manufacturer's warranty, which depends on the boiler.

How long does a boiler installation take?

A straightforward like-for-like boiler replacement typically takes 1 day. If I'm moving the boiler or converting a conventional system to a combi, it may take 2 days.
