boiler repairs in Wheathampstead: questions we get a lot
Where exactly are you based?▾
We're based in Harlow and cover everything within roughly 25 minutes — the CM, EN and SG postcodes that make up West Essex and East Herts.
Are you a small team or a big firm?▾
Small family team. The person quoting you is the person doing the work — there's no sales rep, no sub-contracting, no call centre.
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.
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.
