When you sign up, you will be advised what month your boiler has been scheduled for and the month prior to this, we will be in touch to arrange a suitable day and time for one of our engineers to conduct it.
In the event of an emergency (an uncontrolled water leak), we aim to have someone with you within two hours. For other faults, we will do our best to have someone with you on the same day if you call before 9.00am or within 24 hours of your call. In the event of a gas leak please call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 (FREEPHONE)
If you choose to take out one of our policies with a fixed £50 excess, then you will be charged £50 for each callout. This charge does not apply to subsequent visits made within 30 days to fix the fault identified at the initial callout. There is no callout charge for your annual boiler service or Landlord Gas Safety Report.
