At a glance

Understand the difference between a boiler service and a repair, and find out which details to provide when booking with UKHS.

If your boiler is not working properly, mention the fault when you book. A request for routine servicing does not tell the engineer that heating has stopped or that the boiler is displaying a fault message.

What are you booking for?

A routine service concerns the appliance’s condition and the servicing work appropriate to it. A repair enquiry starts with a problem that needs investigation. The appointment, time required and possible parts can differ. Describe what you need and let the engineer confirm the appropriate scope instead of choosing whichever booking label sounds closest.

Describe what still works

Say whether you have heating, hot water, both or neither. Mention if the problem is constant or comes and goes. If the boiler displays a message, write down the exact wording or code. Do not remove any covers to find more information. The details visible on the appliance and controls are enough for an initial enquiry.

Have the boiler details ready

The make, model and approximate age can help with planning. Existing paperwork may contain these details if the label is not easy to see. Mention recent repairs and when the fault first appeared. You do not need to diagnose the cause or order a part yourself before contacting UKHS.

Ask about the appointment and charges

Check what an assessment covers, whether parts are included and how further work would be quoted. For a service, ask what documentation you will receive and whether any faults found would be dealt with separately. Avoid assuming that booking a service includes every possible repair.

If you need more than one job

Tell us about other work at the same property when making the enquiry. A radiator issue, routine service and landlord inspection should be described separately so the appointment can be planned correctly. For a property around Leigh, include the postcode and access arrangements alongside the boiler details.
