Boiler Repair & Servicing in The Heatons
Gas Safe #9663 engineer covering Heaton Moor, Heaton Mersey, Heaton Chapel and Heaton Norris. Family-run since 1986, 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Why The Heatons households ring us.
The Heatons, Heaton Moor, Heaton Mersey, Heaton Chapel and Heaton Norris, sit on the north side of Stockport and share a housing mix that's largely late-Victorian and Edwardian terraces alongside interwar semis. It's an area we work in almost every week, with a strong maintenance-contract presence on the SK4 patch.
Heaton Moor's leafy streets around Shaw Road and Moorfield Road, Heaton Mersey's mix around Didsbury Road, Heaton Chapel's terraces off Wellington Road and Heaton Norris's compact housing near the town-centre edge all have their own quirks. We know them.
The Heatons are 15–20 minutes from us on the SK4 route. Booked service work is same-week; genuine winter breakdowns are prioritised same-day where the diary allows.

What we see most, right here.
Every area has patterns: property age, climate exposure, water hardness and installation history all shape which faults keep coming up. Here's what's most common in The Heatons, and how we handle it.
Decommissioned back-boiler pipework
Legacy pipe runs from long-removed back boilers still cause head-scratchers on older Heatons stock.
Top-floor hot-water flow
Three-storey Edwardian villas in Heaton Moor need proper flow-rate thinking, not a guess.
Undersized combis after extensions
Kitchen and en-suite extensions outgrowing the original boiler is one of the most common calls.
External condensate freeze
A standard cold-morning problem on SK4 external flue routes.
Sludged systems on older terraces
Cast radiators, no flush history, pump-killer levels of magnetite.
A clear five-step system, the same in every home.
Whether you're on a main road or a tucked-away close, the process is identical. No guessing, no meter-running.

A bit more about how we work in The Heatons.
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 The Heatons 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 The Heatons, 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 The Heatons 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 The Heatons, we cover Stockport, Didsbury, Sale, Davenport, Heaviley and the wider Stockport borough, the same standard of work across the whole patch.
