Boiler broken down in Bolton? Our Gas Safe registered engineers diagnose and fix it, with a fixed price before we start.

If your boiler has stopped working, lost pressure or is throwing a fault code, Nelson Plumbing & Heating repairs boilers across Bolton. Our Gas Safe registered engineers diagnose the fault, explain what is wrong in plain English, and quote a fixed price before any work starts. We carry common parts on the van, so a lot of repairs are finished on the first visit.

The engineer reads the fault code, tests the components and finds the actual cause, not just the symptom.
You are told what is wrong and what it costs before anything is replaced.
Common parts are on the van. If a part has to be ordered we will tell you how long.
We test the repair, check the pressure and combustion, and show you what we did.
A fault code tells you the symptom, not always the cause. These are the ones we get called out to most across Greater Manchester:

Bolton mixes stone terraces with newer estates, and the boiler needs sizing to the house rather than guessed at. We cover Horwich, Farnworth, Westhoughton, Little Lever and the wider BL1 to BL7 postcodes.
Bolton runs from solid stone terraces through to modern estates in Horwich and Westhoughton. The older stone properties are typically harder to heat, with more radiators and higher heat loss, so boiler sizing matters more here than it does on a new build. Fitting an undersized combi into a big old terrace is a common and expensive mistake.
Yes. Nelson Plumbing & Heating Ltd covers Bolton and the surrounding areas, including Horwich, Farnworth, Westhoughton, for boiler repair and all other plumbing, heating and gas work. We are a Salford based company (M3 6GB) with Gas Safe registered engineers working right across Greater Manchester. Bolton mixes stone terraces with newer estates, and the boiler needs sizing to the house rather than guessed at. If you are not sure whether your postcode (BL1 to BL7) is covered, call the team on 0161 515 9977 or email admin@nelsonplumbing.co.uk and we will confirm straight away.
Yes. Every gas job Nelson Plumbing & Heating carries out in Bolton is completed by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Gas Safe registration is a legal requirement for anyone working on gas appliances in the UK, and it means the engineer has been assessed as competent on the specific type of work they are doing. You are welcome to ask to see the engineer's Gas Safe ID card when they arrive, and you should ask that of any engineer who comes to your home. The card shows a licence number and the exact categories of work they are qualified for.
The honest answer is that it depends on the job, and any company that gives you a firm price over the phone without seeing it is guessing. What changes the price for boiler repair is mainly: which component has failed (a thermostat is not a pcb); whether the part is stocked or has to be ordered; the make, model and age of the boiler. What we do instead is give you a fixed price before any work starts, so the figure you agree is the figure you pay. As one customer put it: "the job was exactly how much they quoted for, no scary surprises." For a free, no obligation quote in Bolton, call 0161 515 9977 or email admin@nelsonplumbing.co.uk.
Most repairs are completed in a single visit. If a part has to be ordered, we will give you a date rather than leave you guessing. Every job is different, so when we quote for boiler repair in Bolton we will also tell you realistically how long we will be, and whether we need more than one visit. We would rather tell you honestly up front than turn up and disappear halfway through.
Nelson Plumbing & Heating works out of Salford, so most of Bolton is a short run for our engineers. For genuine emergencies, a burst pipe, no hot water, a boiler lockout, we prioritise the call and aim to get someone out as fast as we can, and we will talk you through making the property safe while we are on the way. For planned work such as an installation or an annual service in Bolton, we will book a slot that suits you. Call 0161 515 9977 and the team will tell you honestly when they can be with you rather than promise something they cannot keep.
For boiler repair in Bolton, the fixed price we quote includes: full fault diagnosis, not guesswork; a fixed repair price before we start; honest advice if the boiler is beyond economic repair; pressure and combustion checked after the repair. If we find something during the job that genuinely changes the scope, we stop and tell you before we carry on, we do not simply add it to the bill at the end. Nelson Plumbing & Heating is a limited company (number 13649684) and we are members of Checkatrade and TrustATrader.
