Heating Engineer Callout

A heating engineer diagnoses and repairs faults in your heating system — boiler issues, radiator problems, thermostat failures, zone valve faults, pump replacements, pressure loss, noisy operation, and cold spots. Gas Safe heating engineers are qualified to work on gas components; OFTEC engineers on oil.

Our standard labour rate is £89.50 to £148.50 per hour +VAT (normal office hours; varies by location and problem type). Diagnosis is charged at this rate, minimum one hour, and the repair is then quoted as a fixed job price before it starts. No separate call-out fee on top.

On site within 2 hours. Phones answered immediately, usually by an engineer. We cover Watford, Hertfordshire, North London and Middlesex from our Watford HQ.

No separate call-out fee. We don't add a travel or attendance surcharge. Time spent inspecting, testing and diagnosing the fault is chargeable at our labour rate (minimum one hour). We quote a fixed price for any further repair work before any of it starts, and you're under no obligation to approve additional repairs.
