Pricing guide
Costs are typically made up of a callout fee, labour hours and materials. Simple faults that can be diagnosed and repaired in a single visit are usually less expensive than hydronic/boiler work or jobs needing major component replacement, which often require extra labour, draining/refilling and specialist plumbing. After-hours attendance typically increases the rate and may be charged at a higher multiplier.
Heater type and system complexity
Hydronic or boiler systems often need draining, refilling and balancing, which usually increases labour and materials compared with simpler heater types.
Fault severity and safety risk
Safety-critical symptoms like smoke or burning smells typically indicate a more complex or urgent repair and often expand the scope of work.
Major component replacement need
Failures of control boards, heat exchangers or other major parts usually increase material costs and often require longer on-site labour or multiple visits.
Parts availability and lead time
Specialised or obsolete parts can widen the final cost and may lead to delays or additional visits while replacements are sourced.
Timing — standard vs after-hours
Work carried out outside normal hours typically attracts a higher rate, often applying an increased multiplier to labour and callout charges.
