Finding a tradesman for any kind of work can be a worrisome process. It's hard to know who you should go with, which company has the best price and who will do the best job.
Here are some of the reasons why we believe you should choose a local Gas Engineer over a big corporate name:
Building long-term relationships for future service
As a local business, we care about building connections and the expectation of an outstanding service with our customers, as we want to uphold our great reputation within the community.
Local businesses often have a small team, some only as many as 1 or 2 employees. Because of this you start to get to know the people behind the business as it'll be the same people that you are interacting with every time. Therefore you can build up trust and know exactly what, and who, to expect at each appointment.
Convenience
Being local has its benefits! If we're conveniently your neighbour, it means we can respond quickly should you have any urgent issues. And we're more likely to be able to offer you a time that's convenient for you if there isn't far to travel.
Plus there won't be any additional surcharge to cover travel costs either.
A better price
Here at Handy Heating we offer our boiler services for £75 in total. We believe this is a great price considering the value of service we are offering (just take a look at our many 5 star reviews!) , especially considering that both Checkatrade and Money Supermarket have reported that they believe the average gas boiler service cost for 2024 is whopping £100.
To back this up, we did a bit of research into the costs that the current big name companies are currently charging for a boiler service:
British Gas - £93
OVO - £84
HomeServe - £120
These inflated costs with the bigger companies are partially due to their larger overhead costs, but also sometimes can be due to the fact that they are using sub-contractors, which are often local tradesman anyway - that you end up having to pay excessive rates for!
