What our customers say
Reviews from homeowners across the North East.
What the visit covers on an exposed property
Every visit starts with a full check rather than the obvious fault. Gas inlet pressure tested under load, the flue inspected for blockage, corrosion and leaking joints, all safety devices tested, and the boiler run through heating and hot water before a cause is given.
On properties near the seafront the flue terminal gets specific attention, because here it is frequently part of the fault rather than incidental to it. If the terminal is the underlying problem you will be told, rather than having a fan fitted and the same fault returning in a year.
Then one fixed price, a plain explanation, and an honest view on whether the appliance is worth spending the money on.
The boiler faults we are called to most in South Shields
This is a town where where you live genuinely changes what goes wrong. A flat near the seafront and a detached house at Cleadon are two different jobs, and lumping them together is how people get quoted badly.
The seafront and everything the wind does
From the Lawe Top down through the seafront and out to Marsden, properties take weather with nothing in the way of it. Two consequences. Salt corrodes flue terminals and external pipework faster than inland, and persistent strong wind across a terminal disturbs the air pressure the boiler relies on, so it lights and then locks out moments later. People report that as an electrical fault. It usually is not.
A fan working against a corroded or partly restricted terminal is also on borrowed time. Replacing the fan without checking the terminal means doing it again.
Dense terraced streets and flats inland
Through Tyne Dock, Laygate, Chichester and Westoe the housing is tighter, with Tyneside flats and terraces where the boiler is often on an outside kitchen wall and the condensate runs down to a gully. That pipe is the first thing to freeze in a cold snap, and it is the single most common winter call across this part of town.
Larger properties at Cleadon, Whitburn and Harton
Bigger houses, more bathrooms, longer radiator circuits. The fault that surfaces is hot water failing when demand rises, and the honest diagnosis separates a failed diverter valve from a combi that was undersized for the property when it went in. We measure the incoming mains flow before recommending either, because no boiler can heat water that does not reach it.
What it costs
One fee for the engineer to attend and find the fault, then one fixed price for the repair, agreed before anything is ordered. Nothing runs on an hourly rate and no figure moves once the boiler is open. The full list is on our boiler repair cost page.
