Annual servicing
boiler servicing keeps your warranty valid and catches small faults before they become expensive repairs. Most manufacturers recommend it every 12 months.
Seasonal upkeep
Clearing gutters before autumn/fall storms, winterising exposed pipework, and checking roof coverings after high winds all prevent bigger bills later.
Small repairs
Most plumbers and electricians charge a call-out fee on top of an hourly rate — worth checking before booking a small job. See our plumbing and electrician calculators for a fuller estimate.
