What is involved in a boiler service?
Heat UK operates a 30 point service check, which involves an initial check, service and safety inspection. This is a thorough check and can be performed on any age or make of boiler.
How quick can you arrive to perform repairs?
If you call before 12:00, we will aim to reach you on the same day. For a call made after 12:00, it is likely that we set a booking for the following day. Even during peak periods, we aim to arrive no later than 24 hours after we receive your request.
Do you offer a guarantee on your work/repairs?
