Frequently asked questions — boiler repairs, Thorley

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.

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.
