boiler emergency repair
Gas emergency repairs

Many urgent problems can be quickly – if temporarily – resolved.

  • A running tap can often be isolated, so that the rest of the water works
  • A seized heating valve can often be ‘persuaded’ to let both the hot water and heating work until a new valve can be sourced and fitted
  • Leaks of all sorts can be traced and repaired
  • Boiler faults often need parts, but sometimes can be encouraged to work – if temporarily
  • Gas escapes can be made safe and repaired

We’ll do whatever is needed to resolve the emergency and let you know how much the ‘proper’ repair is going to cost. Our office staff are very good at sourcing sometimes ‘difficult to find ‘ parts.

We won’t let you down. When we get emergency calls we respond by sending one of our experienced and competent engineers.

We are available during the evenings and at weekends. Calls are sometimes diverted to our mobile phones so we can always respond. Very occasionally we are represented by a voicemail, but just leave a message and we’ll get back to you quickly.

We deal with many manufacturers….

What our clients say …

TaskForce Heating Plumbing

We have an annual contract with Taskforce Maintenance to cover our central heating. Our boiler broke down and we phoned for assistance. As always, we received a cheerful and helpful response and an engineer came to the house on the same day. However, he was unable to fix the problem as many parts of the boiler had been damaged and spare parts were needed. However, arrangements were soon made for the parts to be obtained and the problem was fixed a few days later when these parts were available. The whole cost was covered by our annual contract, which is excellent value. The whole problem from our initial contact with Taskforce to completion of the repair was undertaken with speed, efficiency and professionalism. One very important point for us is that when there is a problem, contact with Taskforce by phone is immediate, very helpful and cheerful.

Due to go away to a three day festival on Thursday. Came down to a wet kitchen floor Wednesday morning. Traced drip to pipe work under the under sink cupboard.. As I’d used Task force a few weeks previously for a tap problem they were my first port of call. Two hours later, plumber on my doorstep & fixed within an hour. Tip top service & weekend saved. Thank you so much

Which Trusted Traders customer review

At the start of the week I phoned Rachel at Taskforce office to say that my lavatory had stopped working. She sent round one of their experts who recommended replacement of the 30 year old unit. Next day I was given the cost, agreed, and yesterday it was replaced: clean, efficient, no mess and all within a couple of hours. I cannot fault the superlative service.
