What changes the price
- When it is. Evenings, nights, weekends and bank holidays usually cost one and a half to two times the weekday rate.
- The part. Small parts like an ignition electrode are usually cheap. A new circuit board (PCB) is one of the dearest, typically £250 to £500 fitted.
- Your boiler. Parts for common makes like Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Baxi and Ideal are easy to get. Older or rarer boilers can need parts ordering, and a second visit.
- Getting to it. A boiler in a loft, cellar or tight cupboard, or one with a long flue, takes longer to work on.
- VAT. Only firms above the VAT threshold have to charge it, and many sole traders are below it. Ask whether a price includes VAT.
- The call-out fee. Some engineers charge one that covers the first half hour or hour, and some take it off the bill if you go ahead. Ask when they ring you.

Why do prices online vary so much?
Cost guides average prices across the UK, so local prices can be higher or lower. A repair also depends on the part, the boiler and the time of day. Treat the figures here as a guide and use the engineer's own quote to decide.
Is a quote for a new boiler free?
Usually, yes. Most installers visit or ask for photos and give you a written quote for nothing. A repair is different: the engineer has to find the fault first, which is what a call-out fee usually covers.
Should I pay before the work is done?
Not for a repair. You normally pay when the job's finished. For a new boiler a deposit is common, but be wary of anyone who wants the full amount up front.
How can I keep the cost down?
Do the free checks first: the power, the pressure gauge, the thermostat and, in freezing weather, the condensate pipe. Book in the daytime if it can safely wait, and have the boiler serviced every year so small faults are found before they turn into breakdowns.
