Out-of-hours boiler repairs in Ongar

Most Ongar repair callouts we diagnose and fix on the first visit — common parts (PRVs, diverters, pumps, PCBs) live on the van.

Frequently asked questions — boiler repairs, Ongar

What counts as out-of-hours?

Evenings after 6pm and Sundays. Saturday daytime is normal hours for us.

What's the minimum charge?

We don't have a fixed minimum — you pay our diagnostic fee plus the agreed fixed price for the repair, with a small after-hours uplift on the labour element.

Do you guarantee repairs?

Yes — 12 months on the workmanship and any parts we supply.

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.
