Little Laver homeowners trust us for boiler repairs — here's why

Our boiler repairs work in Ongar is built around three things: doing it properly, charging fairly, and being there afterwards if you need us.

That last bit matters — a lot of installers vanish the moment the invoice clears. We don't.

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

Frequently asked questions — boiler repairs, Little Laver

Where do boiler leaks usually come from?

Most common: pressure relief valve discharging because system pressure is too high, a perished pump seal, or a failing heat exchanger on older units. We diagnose properly rather than guess.

Should I turn the boiler off?

If water is actively dripping and you can see it pooling, yes — switch the boiler off at the spur, and turn the system pressure down via the filling loop if you can. Then call us.

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.
