I used GH Heating services to install a new oil boiler, and was very satisfied with the service. I dealt with Gavin who was professional, courteous, and quick to respond to any questions. The installation was conducted within the expected timeframe, and the site was left in a clean and tidy condition. The new boiler is working as expected, and a warranty has been arranged with Gavin for 5 years to handle any product issues that may occur.

Have used Gavin at GH Heating for a few years for our boiler. Earlier this week I had a problem with our water supply upstairs and rang GH on the off chance they could help. Gavin arrived first thing next morning and identified the problem, went for a new part and fitted and tested system before lunchtime that day. Excellent service as always and would not hesitate to recommend him and his company.

Common questions

What people ask when it breaks.

How much does a repair cost?

It depends on the fault, which is why we diagnose and give you a fixed price before any work starts — never a guess over the phone.

How quickly can you come out?

Usually within the week for a non-emergency repair. If you’ve got no heat or hot water at all, say so when you book and we’ll prioritise it.

Do you carry parts on the van?

Common parts, yes. If something needs ordering we’ll tell you at the diagnosis stage, so there’s no surprise delay.

What if the boiler isn’t worth repairing?

We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense than another repair, and what that would cost — no pressure either way.

Is there a warranty on the repair?

Yes — parts and labour are guaranteed. Ask your engineer for the specifics on the day.
