What you pay and what happens on the visit

Boiler fault diagnosis is £80 + VAT (£96 total). That covers the engineer attending your home and diagnosing the fault.

Once we know what has failed, we explain the problem and give you the price for any additional repair before work goes ahead. You decide whether to proceed. If a part needs to be ordered, we will explain that and arrange the return visit.

If the boiler is old or the repair is expensive, we can also explain whether replacement is worth considering. The decision stays with you.

Boiler repair Houghton le Spring: questions and answers

Common questions before booking a boiler repair.

How much does boiler fault diagnosis cost in Houghton le Spring? +
Boiler fault diagnosis is £80 + VAT (£96 total). If additional repair work is needed, we explain the fault and give you the price before that work goes ahead.
How quickly can you get to me in Houghton le Spring? +
We are based in Houghton le Spring, so local appointments are part of our normal working area. Same-day attendance is often possible during normal opening hours, depending on the day's bookings. Call 0191 540 2051 and we will give you the earliest realistic slot.
My boiler stops when it is very cold. What could cause that? +
There are several possible causes. On some systems an exposed condensate pipe can freeze and cause the boiler to lock out. Follow the manufacturer's guidance and, if the problem keeps returning, have the system inspected.
My radiators are cold at the bottom. Is that the boiler? +
Not necessarily. Sludge, circulation problems, balancing and valve faults can cause cold areas on radiators. The system should be checked before deciding what work is needed.
My boiler is only a few years old. Should I call you or the manufacturer? +
Check the warranty paperwork first. If the boiler is still covered, the manufacturer may repair it under the warranty terms. If you are unsure, call us and we can help you work out the sensible next step.
Do you repair boilers with a hot water cylinder? +
Yes. On these systems the boiler is not always the cause of the problem, so the controls, pump and valves may also need checking.
When is a new boiler better value than a repair? +
It depends on the boiler's age and condition, its fault history and the cost of the repair. We can explain both options so you can compare them.
Which areas around Houghton le Spring do you cover? +
We cover DH4 and nearby DH5, including Newbottle, Shiney Row, Penshaw, Fence Houses, Philadelphia, Herrington, Bournmoor, Chilton Moor, East Rainton and Hetton le Hole.
