Trusted for boiler repairs across Hockerill

If something plays up in the first year, we come back and sort it. No quibbles, no callout fee.

About Hockerill

Older Stortford district with Victorian and Edwardian terraces — flue routing requires careful planning.

Strong mix — Victorian terraces in the old centre, post-war housing in Thorley, and large new-build estates expanding north.

  • New-build combi boilers approaching first major service interval
  • Victorian terrace flue routing constraints
  • Hard water from the chalk aquifer accelerates scale build-up in heat exchangers

Common questions about boiler repairs in Hockerill

How quickly can you actually get out?

For genuine emergencies in Hockerill — no heat, no hot water, an active leak — we aim for same-day. We'll tell you straight when we call back if a faster response isn't possible.

Do you charge an emergency callout fee?

We charge a clear diagnostic fee, told to you upfront before we set off. The repair itself is then quoted as a fixed price you agree before any work starts.

Are you 24/7?

We aren't a true 24-hour service — we're a small family business — but we pick up early and stay late, and we prioritise vulnerable households and no-heat situations through the day.

Is it worth repairing an old boiler?

Honest answer: if it's over 12 years old and the repair is more than £400, replacement usually makes more financial sense. We'll lay out both options without pressure.

Do you charge a callout fee?

We charge a clear diagnostic fee (told to you upfront before we attend). It covers proper on-site diagnosis. The repair itself is then quoted as a fixed price you agree before any work starts.
