Heating Engineer in Landkey, North Devon

Landkey sits just off the A361 between Barnstaple and South Molton, which makes it one of the quickest places on my list to get to: about 10 miles and a quarter of an hour from South Molton, and a couple of miles from the edge of Barnstaple. If you want same-day attendance for a breakdown, being on this corridor genuinely helps, because it's the road I'm on anyway.

The village has an old core around the church and a good deal of newer housing added around it over the last few decades, so the heating work splits fairly neatly in two. The older properties tend to have system boilers, cylinders and pipework that's been extended more than once. The newer estates are mostly combis, where the usual faults are diverter valves, expansion vessels that have lost their charge, and pressure that won't hold.

I'm George Lane, Gas Safe registered, based in South Molton and working on mains gas along the A361 corridor.

You'll get an answer. Ring or message during the working day and you'll hear back the same day; evenings and weekends, it'll be the next working day. And if it isn't a job for me, I'll tell you that and point you at someone who can help, rather than going quiet on you.

When you book, I'll confirm it and give you a two-hour window rather than a whole day sat at home waiting. On the morning you get a text with a tracking link, so you can see where I've got to instead of wondering. Traffic and the job before yours are real, so it's a window rather than a promise to the minute, but if it slips you'll hear it from me first.
