How quickly can you get to Fremington from Barnstaple?

Usually 5–10 minutes. It's one of my fastest response areas. Same-day repairs are realistic for most of my working week.

Do you cover Yelland and Chivenor?

Yes, both. They're very close to Fremington and I cover the whole stretch along the estuary road.

I have a mid-1970s semi with the original boiler. Is it worth having it serviced or should I replace it?

That depends on the boiler's condition. A service will tell you a lot — I'll check the heat exchanger, seals, and safety devices and give you an honest read on whether it's worth maintaining or whether it's approaching the point where a replacement makes more sense. I'll give you that view straight, not one designed to sell you a new boiler.

Do you charge a call-out fee in Fremington?

I'll be transparent about my pricing when you call. For diagnostic visits, I charge a fixed diagnostic fee that I'll confirm before I come out. ---

Boiler Repairs

For breakdowns in Fremington, the drive from Barnstaple is short enough that same-day attendance is realistic in most cases. I work on Vaillant, Worcester Bosch, Baxi, and Ideal — the brands most commonly found in this type of housing stock. I'll diagnose the fault and give you an honest quote before starting any work, and if a part is needed you'll know the cost before I order it.

Boiler Servicing

An annual service is worth booking before the heating season begins. I check all safety devices, clean the heat exchanger, test combustion efficiency, and let you know the condition of key components. Most boilers in good order take around 45–60 minutes to service properly. I don't rush through them.

Landlord Gas Safety Checks

Fremington has a mix of owner-occupiers and rental properties. Landlords need a valid CP12 gas safety certificate for every rented property, renewed annually. I carry out the inspection and issue the certificate the same day. If you have multiple properties in this area, call and we can discuss scheduling.

Smart Thermostats

Hive, Google Nest, and Tado work well with most combi boilers and many system boilers. I install and commission smart heating controls across Fremington — if any wiring work is needed at the boiler end, I'll do that as part of the same visit.

Central Heating Repairs

Post-war housing like a lot of Fremington's stock can develop sludge build-up in the system over time. If some of your radiators are cold at the bottom, that's often the reason. A power flush can significantly improve heat distribution. I also carry out TRV replacement, pump servicing, and pressure-related repairs.

Unvented Cylinders

G3-qualified unvented cylinder servicing and repairs are available in Fremington. If you have a Megaflo or similar, it needs an annual service from a qualified engineer — not just anyone. ---
