The real fault first, then the bill — not the other way round

Plenty of boilers get the wrong diagnosis on the first visit. The boiler gets reset, a part goes in, it's reset again — and a fortnight later the same fault is back. I'd rather spend the time tracing what's genuinely gone wrong before I suggest spending any of your money on it.

Across Exeter I handle gas boiler servicing, repairs, unvented hot water cylinders and smart heating controls. Fitting new boilers isn't something I do, which means I've nothing to gain by steering you towards one — and if yours really is finished, I'll tell you plainly and point you to an installer.

The jobs I take on around Exeter

Whether the boiler won't light, the hot water has run cold, or it's simply that time of year for a service, give me a ring on 01392 321121 and run me through it. I'll give you my honest read on it and the sensible next move.

Yearly boiler servicing

Flue, combustion readings, gas pressure, seals, safety cut-outs and controls all get gone over, and you keep a written record of it. Renting the place out? A CP12 certificate comes as part of the visit.

Diagnosis and repair

Cold radiators, no hot water, a boiler that keeps tripping out, a drip you can't place — I pin down the real culprit first, so the only parts you buy are the ones that were actually at fault.

Pressurised cylinders

G3 qualified for unvented work, with a yearly service that keeps the manufacturer's warranty alive. Megaflo, Telford, Gledhill, Heatrae Sadia and similar units are all familiar territory.

Phone-controlled heating

Nest, Hive, Tado, Honeywell — whichever genuinely fits how your Exeter home runs. I set up the control that matches your routine rather than the one with the longest spec sheet.

Whatever's hanging on your Exeter wall, I've likely worked on it

Nearly every domestic gas boiler I'm called to is one I know well — Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Baxi, Ideal, Glow-worm, Viessmann among them. If yours isn't named here, ring me anyway and I'll let you know straight away whether it's one I can take on.

An engineer who gives you a straight answer

I've spent more than 25 years working on gas boilers — mostly in Kent, where I traded as Thames Boilers. I moved to Devon and set up Exeter Boiler Repairs to carry on doing the same work here: diagnosing the fault, fixing what's broken, and telling people straight when something isn't worth repairing.

Gas Safe registered. G3 qualified for pressurised cylinder work. £2 million public liability insurance. One-year guarantee on any parts I supply. And a straightforward approach: if your boiler is worth repairing, I'll repair it; if it isn't, I'll tell you that instead.

The reviews that follow are from my previous business in Kent — same engineer, same standards, now working here in Devon.

I'm gathering Exeter feedback as the jobs come in. Until there's enough of it, these give you a fair sense of the quality and the approach to expect.

These reviews are from Thames Boilers — George's previous Kent business — shown while Exeter Boiler Repairs builds its own local review profile. They are not presented as Exeter customer reviews.
