When a boiler stops working in the middle of the Stockport winter, the last thing you want is a call centre asking for your policy number. What you want is the engineer on the phone, a diary slot the same day, and a fixed price before any work starts. That's what a boiler repair with Swainson Gas Services is. What it is A boiler repair covers everything from a lockout that clears with a reset to a full component replacement, diverter valves, expansion vessels, PCBs, fans, pumps, sensors and heat exchangers. Every visit starts with a proper diagnosis using a flue gas analyser and multimeter, not a guess. Who it's for Any household or business in Stockport and the surrounding areas whose boiler has stopped working, is leaking, is showing an error code, or is behaving strangely (banging, kettling, losing pressure). When you need it As soon as the problem shows up. A boiler dropping pressure overnight, cycling on and off, or showing an error code isn't going to fix itself, the sooner it's diagnosed, the cheaper the repair. Why it matters Van stock, honest diagnosis and a single point of contact matter more than 'lowest price' promises. Most Swainson boiler repairs are done in a single visit because John carries the common failure parts on the van and knows the boilers in these streets by heart. Book a service or repair ### Speak directly to the engineer. Call-out & diagnostic £98 inc. VAT What happens if it's ignored ## The cost of putting it off. Ignoring a struggling boiler is one of the most expensive things a household can do. Here's what usually happens. ### Small problem, big invoice What could have been a routine burner gasket replacement at service becomes an expensive repair once the damage from a failed component spreads through the boiler. Very common. ### No heat in a cold snap A boiler that's already limping through November rarely makes it through a January cold spell. The queue for emergency repairs in the deep freeze is not where you want to be. ### CO risk Some boiler faults produce elevated carbon monoxide, you don't see it, you don't smell it, and you don't want it in a home with children or older residents. ### Cascading damage A slow leak damages joists, floor coverings and adjacent cabinets. Boiler repair becomes boiler repair plus a joiner. Common mistakes we see - Repeatedly re-pressurising a boiler that keeps losing pressure, there's always a reason. - Ignoring intermittent lock-outs that clear with a reset ('it came back on'), the fault is progressing. - Getting multiple quotes from engineers without proper diagnosis, the cheap quote is the guess. Our process ## A clear five-step system. No guessing, no meter-running. Every job follows the same repeatable process, that's how the result stays consistent. 1. 01 ### Same-day call Ring the mobile on 07442 536165 for a diary slot. In working hours we aim for the same day. 2. 02 ### Diagnosis £98 call-out and diagnostic fee. Flue gas analyser, multimeter, gas pressure test, whatever the fault requires. 3. 03 ### Written price Repair cost given in plain English before any work starts. You approve, we proceed. 4. 04 ### Repair on the day Where the part is on the van, the repair happens on the visit. Where a part needs ordering, it's ordered and fitted at a convenient return visit. 5. 05 ### Testing & guarantee Full re-test, combustion analysis where relevant, and 12-month workmanship guarantee on the repair. Why it's worth doing ## What you actually get. ### Same-day, working hours The engineer is local. Attendance is measured in hours, not days. ### Honest diagnosis A proper £98 diagnostic beats three cheap guesses at £50 each. ### Van stock Common failure parts carried as standard, most repairs done first visit. ### Fixed written price You know the cost before any spanner comes out. ### 12-month workmanship guarantee If the repair fails within 12 months, John returns to sort it. ### One number to ring Every future visit, it's the same person who already knows your boiler. In depth ## The detail that matters. Boilers fail in surprisingly predictable ways. Diagnosing them well is a mix of experience with the specific brands common in this area and having the diagnostic kit to prove what's actually wrong. ### Common combi faults Loss of pressure (expansion vessel or auto air vent), diverter valve failure (heating works, hot water doesn't or vice versa), fan failure (F1, F2 or fan-related error codes), PCB faults (intermittent lock-outs), and plate heat exchanger scaling (lukewarm hot water). ### System and regular boiler faults Pump failure, motorised valve seizure, sludged system water damaging pumps, and cylinder controls that no longer switch. These are 90% of the callouts on cylinder-based systems. ### Brands covered Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Glow-worm, Ideal, Baxi, Main, Potterton, genuine parts fitted where the manufacturer specifies them and where warranty compliance requires them. ### Repair vs replace For older boilers with expensive faults (heat exchangers, PCBs on discontinued models), we give an honest view on whether it's worth repairing or better to look at replacement. No pressure, some of our replacements come years after the first honest conversation. FAQs ## Questions we hear every week. If you have a question that isn't answered here, ring John directly on 07442 536165. ### How much is a call-out? ### Can you attend the same day? ### Do you carry parts? ### Do you cover weekends? ### Is there a workmanship guarantee? ### How do I pay? ### You quoted me a repair, should I replace instead? ### Will you be the engineer who attends?
