What people ask us
How quickly can you get to me?
Our base is in Bowers Gifford, between Basildon and Benfleet, so most of south Essex is under 20 minutes away by van. Emergencies are prioritised; for everything else we book a time that suits you and text you before the engineer arrives.
How much does a boiler repair cost?
Repairs start from £90. The engineer diagnoses the fault, tells you the price to fix it before doing the work, and most common faults are fixed on the first visit with parts carried in the van.
How much is a new boiler?
Gas boiler installation starts from £1,980 fitted. The final price depends on the boiler you choose, whether it moves position, the flue and the condition of your system. We survey first and quote in writing.
Are you Gas Safe registered?
Yes. Essex Heating Engineers Ltd is Gas Safe registered under number 925538. You can check it on the Gas Safe Register website, and our engineers carry their ID cards.
