Boiler installations/general heating/general plumbing jobs etc.
We cannot be held responsible for damages which occur whilst completing works which are outside of the scope of a plumbing, heating and gas engineer. Including, but not limited to, lifting and refitting carpets, laminates, floor boards, roof tiles and removal of brick work. Sometimes it's essential for us to carry out such works to enable us to deliver our service but we advise you to instruct a professional who is qualified in that area to complete the works should you wish for someone to be liable for such damages.
Due to the nature of our work, we may cause damage to brick work, plaster work, floor boards and skirting boards etc whilst completing tasks such as drilling, hole cutting, sawing and general construction work. Whilst we endeavour to keep minimise this risk and take steps to prevent such damage, we cannot be held responsible for any such damage that should arise due to carrying our works.
We cannot be held responsible for any leaks or faults which occur due to the work we carry out to an existing plumbing, heating and boiler system. This includes, but is not limited to, leaks to existing pipework, valves, fittings, connections and seals. We cannot be held responsible for any damages which occur to property from such leaks or failures unless caused by our negligence.
Damage that has been caused by an accidental, such as water spillage on carpet or has been caused by leakage from a newly installed component such as a boiler, pipework, valves, fittings, connections and seals shall be repaired or made good by us. In this event, you are expected to contact us immediately and you must give us the opportunity to investigate the issue to determine what has been the cause. We must also be given the opportunity to make it good. We reserve the right to have the choice between going through our insurance or to employ our own contractors to complete any work at our own cost or to replace the item/settle with a good will gesture to a value of no more than what the product is worth.
Boiler/appliance fault diagnosis and repairs
We cannot guarantee a first-time fix on boilers and central heating systems, boilers and central heating systems can have a number of issues and sometimes, only through the process of elimination, are we able to rectify some faults. This can result in high repair bills but no discount or reduction of the bill shall be applied if further visits are required unless caused by our negligence.
If you suspect a complete miss diagnosis has occurred then this can be raised through our complaints procedure.
Fittings/components in existing boilers may be close to failing/leaking and due to the nature of the work we’re carrying out, we may disturb these fittings/components. We cannot be held responsible for any leaks or component failure which arises whilst carrying out repair work on an existing boiler/appliance unless caused by our negligence.
Boiler/appliance servicing
When we have been instructed to carry out a service on a boiler/appliance, we are there to complete a service only, if there is a fault on the boiler please make us aware of this as you require a ‘boiler/appliance fault diagnosis and repair’, if we find that there is a fault with the appliance whilst on site and it affects our ability to service you will still be charged for the boiler service and requoted for a boiler fault/appliance fault diagnosis, this will most likely be on a different day at our next available slot.
We’re also unable to book boiler/appliance fault diagnosis visits and boiler services on the same visit, due to not knowing what is required exactly to repair the boiler.
We’re unable to offer any guarantees after a boiler has been serviced, in some cases faults can occur after a boiler has been serviced, this is usually due to old components that are close to breaking or debris within the boiler moving and getting lodged in a moving part or tight water ways. If an issue arises after a boiler has been serviced a further visit will be chargeable at our ‘standard rate’, however, if the call out is due to engineer error we shall waiver this fee. You can trust us to be honest in this scenario.
Powerflushing/system cleaning
A power flush or a system clean is not guaranteed to resolve underlying issues with your heating system. The only way to guarantee underlying issues to be resolved is by installing a new system. We cannot be held responsible if the power flush or system clean has not fully resolved your issue any further works required will be chargeable and shall me quoted for separately.
We may need to disturb existing components on your heating system to allow us to carry out the power flush or system clean
We cannot be held responsible for any water leaks that may occur during or after a power flush or system clean has been completed. This includes, but is not limited to, radiators, radiator valves, boilers, hot water cylinders, pipework and other fittings connected to your boiler and central heating system.
