boiler repairs in Stansted Mountfitchet: questions we get a lot

Is a pilot light boiler still safe to use?

Yes if it's serviced annually and the thermocouple and flame failure devices are working. We test all of these on every service.

Should I just replace it?

If parts are getting hard to source or the boiler is over 15 years old, replacement is usually the right call. We'll be straight with you on the numbers.

How fast can you come out?

We aim for same-day on no-heat and no-hot-water situations. Tell us when you call if anyone elderly or with young children is in the property — we prioritise.

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.
