Emergency Repairs — Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer 24/7 emergency heating repairs?
+
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency heating and boiler repair service, 365 days a year including weekends, bank holidays, and Christmas. If you lose heating or hot water outside normal business hours, call our emergency line immediately on 0161 410 9979 and we'll dispatch an engineer to assess and repair your system as quickly as possible.
How quickly will an engineer arrive for an emergency?
+
We aim to respond to heating emergencies within 1–2 hours in most areas depending on your location and current workload. We have engineers positioned across our service territory for rapid response. For life-threatening safety issues (gas smell, carbon monoxide), call the Gas Emergency number (0800 111 999) first, then us for follow-up repairs.
What should I do if I smell gas?
+
If you smell gas, immediately turn off the gas supply at the meter, open windows for ventilation, leave the property, and call the National Gas Emergency number (0800 111 999) from outside. Do not use electrical switches or create sparks. Once you're safe, call us on 0161 410 9979 for follow-up inspection and repairs. Never ignore suspected gas leaks — safety is paramount.
What's the cost of emergency repair service?
+
Emergency repair costs depend on the problem, required parts, and labour involved. We charge standard rates for emergency callouts during extended hours — rates are typically 50–100% higher than normal hours depending on time of call. We provide a free diagnostic and quote before starting any work. You won't be surprised by costs — we discuss pricing upfront.
Can you fix my boiler on the same evening or next morning?
+
In many cases, yes. We carry common spare parts on our vehicles and can often complete repairs same-evening or next-morning depending on the fault. Occasionally, special parts must be ordered, which may delay repair. We'll provide a realistic timeline once we've diagnosed the problem.
What heating emergencies do you cover?
+
We repair all heating emergencies including: boiler breakdowns, loss of heating, no hot water, frozen pipes, radiator leaks, thermostat failures, pressure issues, and gas safety concerns. We also handle emergency boiler installations if your boiler cannot be repaired. Whatever your heating emergency, call us.
Should I have a maintenance plan to avoid heating emergencies?
+
Yes, an annual boiler service significantly reduces emergency breakdown risk by catching issues early. Many customers also choose breakdown cover plans that include priority emergency repairs and assistance. With regular servicing, most heating emergencies are preventable. We offer affordable maintenance and cover plans to protect your comfort and budget.
