The length of time that a boiler repair takes to complete can vary from job to job. We try to give you a realistic understanding of what to expect for the type of problem you have, and how long it will take to complete the repair.
Simple Faults Take an Hour or Less
Some simple faults will take around an hour to repair, for example a faulty thermostat or a tripped reset button. A faulty pressure relief valve can be a little more complicated to repair, but again this would usually be completed within an hour or so.
Some Jobs Run to Two or Three Hours
These types of parts may take 2 hours or so to replace. As well as removing the part to be replaced, the engineer will need to drain part of the system to allow for the part’s removal and then re-fill and test the system once the replacement part has been fitted.

Only a Registered Engineer Can Do the Work
