A bit more about how we work in Gatley.
Everything on this page reflects real, ongoing work on this postcode, not a template. If you have a question that isn't answered, ring John.
One engineer, one van, one number. Every visit in Gatley is carried out personally by John Swainson. There's no sub-contracting, no rotating trainee, and no call-centre buffer between you and the person doing the job. That's the model the business has run on since 1986, and it's why our maintenance-contract list keeps growing rather than churning.
Parts on the van. The van carries the components that fail most often on the boilers we service in Gatley, diverter valves, PCBs, pumps, fans, expansion vessels, PRVs, gaskets, thermistors and the common Worcester, Vaillant and Ideal service kits. That's why most breakdowns finish on the first visit.
Honest pricing. Basic service from £98 inc. VAT, full service £155 + parts inc. VAT, call-out and diagnostic £98 inc. VAT, landlord CP12 from £110 inc. VAT, maintenance contract £208 / year inc. VAT. Same in Gatley as at our Hazel Grove base, no travel surcharge, no postcode loading, no call-out inflation.
Written record every time. After every service, repair or CP12 you'll get a written record, the same document a landlord, buyer, insurer or manufacturer warranty administrator will ask for. It goes on the file, and stays on the file.
Nearby coverage. Alongside Gatley, we cover Cheadle, Cheadle Hulme, Bramhall, Stockport and the wider Stockport borough, the same standard of work across the whole patch.
