George Lane, the engineer

George Lane, Gas Safe No. 515374. Fully insured, 25+ years on boilers. I do every job myself, from the first visit to the finished work.

If you smell gas, leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency number, 0800 111 999, before anything else. Once the supply has been made safe, I can come and deal with the appliance.

  • George was very pleasant and worked hard to give my boiler a thorough service. A sudden leaking pipe meant that the job took much longer than expected but this was no problem at all for him. George done an excellent job and I will definitely be using his services again.

  • In the past ive had a few unreliable plumbers. George did some plumbing work for me in the kitchen recently. Very happy with the repair - always polite, punctual, and tidy. George also services my boiler annually. Will continue to use his services. Have recommended him to friends and family.

  1. You book

    Book online and your time is confirmed straight away. I work Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, and I'm not an emergency service. If it isn't a job for me, I'll say so and point you to someone who can help, rather than going quiet on you.

  2. You'll know when I'm coming

    You choose a start time when you book, not a morning or an afternoon. It is an estimate, because the job before yours can finish early or run on. When I set off to you, you get a text with a link that shows where I am, so you can see when I'll be at the door.

Salt air is hard on anything outside: flue terminals, grilles, condensate pipes. On every service I check what I can reach outside, as well as the boiler itself, and tell you if anything is starting to go.

For apartments with boilers in cupboards, I check the flue route and the ventilation, not only the boiler.

Servicing a holiday let before the season

Most boilers in Woolacombe lets do their hardest work in summer. Servicing before the season means a worn part or a blocked condensate trap turns up on my visit, with time to fix it, rather than on a changeover day.

If the let also needs its landlord gas safety check, do both on one visit. It costs less, and it's one trip instead of two. A standard gas boiler service and a landlord gas safety check for one appliance on the same visit is £145, instead of £210 booked separately. With the full gas boiler service it is £225, instead of £290. Both prices include VAT. It costs less because it's one visit instead of two, and it can't be combined with any other reduction.

Standard, £105. It covers the normal safety and combustion checks, plus routine checks and cleaning of the parts I can reach. It does not include taking the burner out, a new burner gasket or the Full gas boiler service clean.

Full, £185. A Full gas boiler service is £185 including VAT. It adds a new burner gasket, a full clean of the heat exchanger and burner, and inspection and cleaning of the ignition electrodes and the flame sensor.

Most boilers need the full service every three to five years, depending on how hard they work. Viessmann boilers need it every year, because of how the burner and heat exchanger are built.

FAQs: boiler servicing in Woolacombe

Is there a travel charge for Woolacombe?

No. Travel to Woolacombe and Mortehoe is included in the price.

Can you service several lets on one trip?

Yes, where the owners or agents can arrange access for one visit day. Tell me the addresses when you book.

Will you send me the service record if I'm not there?

Yes. You get the paperwork, not a promise of it: a written record of what I checked, what I tested and what I found. Gas safety certificates come to you by email, ready for a letting agent, an insurer or a buyer's solicitor.
