Gas Service & Repair
Not all repairers are the same, unlike some repair services we will diagnose and repair the fault and do not just replace parts until the problem disappears.
We do not advocate a replacement appliance unless there is good reason.

A fault may lie in the heating system and not the appliance. We mimimise the cost of repair by diagnosing the fault to component level and will only replace failed motorised valves, time clocks, room thermostats, or leaking radiator valves where required. Our engineers will comunicate with you after carrying out their diagnostics, informing you which parts need replacing and the time it will take to complete the work. Our goal is to keep our customers fully informed at all times.

We use quality original manufacturer parts which are all covered by a 12 month guarantee.
In the unlikely event that we cannot source an original manufacturers part we will advise you of any other options that are available or if possible provide a temporary solution in the interim.

Annual Servicing

Why do I need regular servicing?
Gas appliances need regular servicing to ensure your safety, that the appliance is operating efficiently and as a requirement of Gas regulations; which recommend a regular schedule of maintenance is carried out. Manufacturers also recommend annual servicing and often forms part of their guarantee.

From 2007 it has formed part of the home buyers pack to ensure that details of maintenance and repair work are recorded. Indeed benchmark exists now, which requires all new appliances installed are properly maintained.

Just as you would service your car and MOT it, gas appliances should also be serviced. Landlords are required to MOT (gas safety check) their appliances and installations BY LAW. It is a recommendation for home owners to also follow this guidance, remember gas appliances are inherently safe, but the safety of your family and home depend on those safety devices working correctly. Don't put family and your safety at risk from carbon monoxide poisoning or dangerous incidents.

Ensure you regularly service your gas appliances and most importantly regularly check your safety devices e.g. your smoke / carbon monoxide detectors.
