Hourly Rates

Labour - Standard Hourly Rate

£98.00 plus VAT   (£117.60 inc VAT)

Hourly rate for visits scheduled between 8am and 5pm. Our minimum visit charge is for 1 hour, after which we charge in 15 minute increments.

Labour - Out of Hours

from £127.00 plus VAT   (£152.40 inc VAT)

Hourly rate for visits scheduled outside of our normal working hours. Our standard out-of-hours rate applies 6am-8am & 5pm-9pm on weekdays and 9am-4pm Saturdays. If you need urgent support outside of these times, we will generally try to find a temporary solution over the phone (chargeable at our Remote Support rate). If that is not possible and we need to come out (subject to availability), there will be an Unsociable Hours Supplement applied. This varies according to exactly when and where we need to visit but will always be discussed with you in advance of a callout.

Remote Support (per 10 mins)

£9.80 plus VAT  (£11.76 inc VAT)

If you need urgent telephone support, instructions for how to reach someone will be available via the voicemail on the office number (07856 892436). Please note that calls to the out of hours number will be invoiced at our Remote Support rate. We are happy to answer small queries for our existing clients over WhatsApp. We can be reached on 07856 892436 ( this is monitored by both Ed and the office, as and when we are able) but if you need urgent help out of hours, please begin your message with URGENT SUPPORT REQUEST as this will help to make sure it is opened.

Fixed Price Services

Annual Boiler Service

£93.00 plus VAT   (£111.60 inc VAT)

This service covers your boiler only. It does not include inspection of radiators, valves or the wider heating system. If you'd like us to inspect radiators and valves for corrosion or leaks and fully bleed the system whist we are on site, it is important to request this at the time of booking so that sufficient time can be allowed. (This additional work will be charged at our standard hourly rate.) A boiler service is an essential annual maintenance procedure designed to ensure your boiler operates safely and efficiently. During the service, a qualified engineer will inspect, clean and test the boiler according to the manufacturer's recommended guidelines. If applicable, the system filter will be cleaned, and the internal expansion vessel will be repressurised. If any fault diagnosis or repairs are needed, these are typically not covered as part of the service and may require additional work with separate charges. Please make us aware of any known problems at the time of booking so that sufficient resources can be allocated to the job. If your boiler is still covered by the manufacturer's warranty, please have the service record to hand for our engineer to sign, as without your service record most manufacturers void the warranty.

Landlord's CP12 & Service

Up to 2 appliances - £124.00 plus VAT (£148.80 inc VAT)
Each additional appliance - £25.00 plus VAT (£30.00 inc VAT)

To encourage landlords to maintain their boiler and heating systems, we offer a discounted boiler service when completed in conjunction with a CP12. This package includes the annual gas safety inspection (covering up to two appliances, the gas meter, and pipework) along with a standard boiler service. It does not include inspection of radiators, valves or the wider heating system. If you'd like us to inspect radiators and valves for corrosion or leaks and fully bleed the system whilst we are on site, it is important to request this at the time of booking so that sufficient time can be allowed. This additional work will be charged at our standard hourly rate. If appropriate, we will also service any unvented cylinder (unless you specifically direct us not to) and/or external vessel and top up chemicals where required. The associated charges will be added to your invoice. Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarms Although technically not part of the gas safety inspection, it is a requirement for a tenanted property to have a working and in-date CO alarm in each living area with a flued gas appliance (e.g. gas boiler or gas fire). If we do not find an in-date and working CO alarm, we will generally fit one as a matter of course (charged at £50.54 plus VAT) unless you have previously instructed us otherwise. Smoke and Heat Alarms The regulations around smoke and heat alarms for tenanted properties have become more complex and, as these are not a gas safety requirement, we have decided that we will no longer report on these on the CP12 certificate. If we notice an alarm that is not working or is out of date, then we will let you know as a courtesy but you should not rely on our inspection as confirmation that alarms are compliant and working.

Add-on - Radiator Check

Charged at our standard hourly rate

​

If you'd like us to inspect radiators and valves for corrosion or leaks and fully bleed the system in addition to the boiler service, it is important to request this at the time of booking so that sufficient time can be allowed. This additional work will be charged at our standard hourly rate - time taken depends on the size of the system and any issues encountered.

Add-on - Cylinder Service

£40.00 plus VAT (£48.00 inc VAT)

All unvented cylinders should be serviced annually to maintain safe and efficient working. If you have this type of cylinder, we will automatically include this service, charged as shown, unless you instruct us otherwise at the time of booking.

Add-on - External Vessel 

£15.00 plus VAT (£18.00 inc VAT)

If you have an external expansion vessel (usually a small red tank), this requires servicing and we will include this add-on in your invoice automatically.

Add-on - Chemical Top-up

£20.00 plus VAT (£24.00 inc VAT)

If we find that the level of chemicals in your system is below recommended levels, a top-up is required and will be added to your invoice. (Occasionally two doses are needed on larger systems).

Quotes and Estimates

Boiler Installations

We offer free quotes for boiler installations. If we haven’t visited your property before, we may ask a few initial questions to provide you with an estimated cost. This will help you decide whether you’d like to proceed with a formal quote.

​

Where you require system design or a heat-loss survey, these elements will be chargeable but a discount will be applied to the final invoice if you decide to proceed with the quoted works.

Other Works

For most day-to-day jobs we are happy to provide an estimate to give you an overview of the work to be undertaken and a realistic price range.

 

For larger works we may be able to provide a fixed-price quote, however this will depend on the nature of the work and whether there are uncertainties regarding the amount of work involved.
