VAT Van-stocked with common parts Gas Safe registered #9663 Family-run since 1986 12-month workmanship guarantee What we do ## Emergency Boiler Callouts, done properly. An emergency callout is what people ring for when the heating has stopped, the boiler is leaking, or something has started making a noise it definitely shouldn't. It's a job for the engineer directly, not a call centre in another city with a script to work through. What it is The service is straightforward: you ring, describe what's happening, get a realistic answer on whether same-day attendance is possible, and if it is, the engineer arrives with a van full of the parts most likely to be the fault. Diagnostic and repair are done on the visit wherever possible. Who it's for Any home or property in Stockport, Bramhall, Cheadle Hulme, Poynton, Marple, High Lane, Offerton, Davenport, Heaviley, Gatley, Cheadle, Woodley, Bredbury, Romiley, Disley, Handforth, Sale or Didsbury whose heating or hot water has failed. When you need it As soon as you notice: no heating, no hot water, boiler leaking, boiler showing an error code, pressure dropping fast, or anything you can smell or hear that isn't normal. The sooner you call, the more diary options exist. Why it matters Because 'emergency' means different things to different companies. To some it means a technician in three days. Here it means the engineer picks up the phone, gives you a straight answer, and gets there as quickly as the diary allows. 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. Delaying an emergency callout has consequences that scale badly. Here's what typically happens when a boiler emergency is left to sort itself out. ### Property damage from leaks A slow boiler leak becomes a fast one. Joists, floors and ceilings below are the next casualties. ### Frozen condensate pipes In cold snaps, a boiler that hasn't been attended can lock out on a frozen condensate, every cold snap this repeats until it's properly resolved. ### Cold home, vulnerable residents For elderly residents and young children, a house without heat in winter is genuinely dangerous, the callout is more urgent than most people admit to themselves. ### Longer queues later Every hour you wait, the diary fills. What's a same-day today can be a tomorrow-afternoon by 4pm. Common mistakes we see - Waiting to see if it 'clears itself' overnight. - Repeatedly re-pressurising a leaking boiler until the joists below the airing cupboard are saturated. - Turning the boiler off entirely without diagnosing whether that risks pipes freezing. 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 ### Direct phone call Ring 07442 536165. You speak to the engineer, not a call centre. 2. 02 ### Realistic ETA You get an honest answer on when John can attend, not a boilerplate promise. 3. 03 ### On-arrival diagnosis Diagnostic kit and van stock arrive at the same time. Most emergencies are diagnosed within the first 30 minutes. 4. 04 ### Repair on the day Where parts are on the van, the repair is completed on the visit. Where they aren't, a temporary safe-state is set and a return visit booked. 5. 05 ### Report and follow-up Written summary of what was done, the price, and any longer-term recommendations. Why it's worth doing ## What you actually get. ### Speak to the engineer Direct-to-engineer means no triage, no scripts, and no misheard descriptions. ### Same-day where possible During working hours in Stockport, most emergencies are attended the same day. ### Van stock Diverter valves, expansion vessels, pumps, fans, sensors, the common failure parts travel with the van. ### Card payment on site No cash-only, no bank transfer chasing, no invoice arriving weeks later. ### 12-month workmanship guarantee If a repair goes wrong within a year, John returns to sort it. ### Local knowledge 40 years of working in these streets means the boilers, the plumbing quirks and the property styles are familiar. In depth ## The detail that matters. Emergency callouts are also where the biggest differences between engineers show up. Kit, stock and honesty matter more than any advert. ### What counts as an emergency Total loss of heat or hot water, active water leak from the boiler or pipework, gas smell (call National Gas Emergencies first on 0800 111 999), boiler making a sudden new noise, or boiler locking out repeatedly. ### Winter conditions In deep freezes, condensate pipes are the single biggest cause of emergency callouts. We know the fix, and we can also permanently insulate or re-route so it stops happening every year. ### Landlord emergencies Landlords under statutory duty to provide heat and hot water get prioritised, CP12 verification and a repair can often happen on the same visit. ### Working hours We run the diary seven days a week, 7am to 6pm. Weekend and evening cover is offered where the diary allows, especially in winter, ring and ask. FAQs ## Questions we hear every week. If you have a question that isn't answered here, ring John directly on 07442 536165. ### How quickly can you get here? ### Do you cover evenings and weekends? ### What's the call-out fee? ### I smell gas, should I ring you first? ### My condensate is frozen, is that an emergency? ### Will you carry the part I need? ### Do I pay on the day? ### Do you cover businesses?
