FAQs
What should I do first when my boiler suddenly quits working?
Turn off the boiler’s power supply at the fused spur and shut off the gas at the emergency control valve if you smell gas. Then check simple issues such as low water pressure (below 1 bar) or a tripped breaker. If the fault persists, call our 24-hour emergency line immediately. Avoid dismantling the case yourself, as only Gas Safe–registered engineers are legally allowed to open a boiler.
How fast can your emergency plumbers reach my home or business in Speedwell?
We have dedicated on-call engineers stationed within the Bristol/Speedwell area. In most cases we arrive within 60 minutes of your call, day or night, including weekends and bank holidays. Our dispatch team uses real-time GPS tracking to send the nearest qualified engineer to you, minimising wait times during critical breakdowns.
Are your technicians qualified to repair all brands and models of boilers?
Yes. Every engineer on our emergency team is Gas Safe–registered and undergoes continuous manufacturer-approved training. We regularly work on combi, system, and conventional boilers from Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Ideal, Baxi, Glow-worm, Viessmann, and more. We also carry diagnostic software and service manuals for older or less common units.
Do you carry spare parts, and can most faults be fixed on the first visit?
Our vans are stocked with the most commonly needed components—ignition electrodes, pumps, PRVs, pressure gauges, fan assemblies, and standard seals. Roughly 8 out of 10 emergency call-outs are completed on the first visit. If a specialist part is required, we use local Speedwell suppliers for same-day or next-day collection and will leave your property safe in the meantime.
How much will an emergency boiler repair cost?
We charge a transparent fixed call-out fee that covers the first hour of labour, followed by per-quarter-hour billing so you only pay for the time you need. Before any work begins, the engineer will explain the likely fault and provide a no-obligation estimate for parts and extended labour. There are no hidden weekend or out-of-hours surcharges for Speedwell residents.
Can you help me avoid future boiler breakdowns?
Absolutely. After restoring your heating and hot water, our engineer can perform a full health check that includes water-quality testing, expansion-vessel pressure checks, and flue-gas analysis. We’ll recommend preventive steps such as annual servicing, system power-flushing, magnetic filter installation, and inhibitor top-ups. Regular maintenance not only reduces unexpected failures but also keeps your warranty valid and energy bills lower.
