Boiler Servicing & Repairs in Dunbar

Dunbar mixes historic harbour-side properties, Victorian villas along the seafront and modern estates inland. The town sits in one of the sunniest, driest pockets in Scotland but still gets serious easterly exposure on the coast — which changes how outdoor pipework, flue terminations and heat-pump units need to be specified.

Annual servicing, breakdown repairs, landlord gas safety certificates (CP12) and heating system upgrades across Dunbar. Gas Safe registered, every major brand covered — Vaillant, Worcester Bosch, Ideal, Baxi, Grant, Warmflow — with a 24/7 line for genuine no-heat or no-hot-water emergencies. You'll always speak to a local engineer rather than a national call centre, and you'll always get an honest fix-vs-replace recommendation rather than a sales pitch.

Most Dunbar call-outs we attend fall into a small number of repeatable patterns — pressure-loss in older sealed systems, expansion vessel failures, sticky diverter valves and corroded heat exchangers caused by sludge. Carrying common Vaillant, Worcester and Ideal spares on the van means most EH42 repairs are sorted on the first visit rather than a return trip a week later.

Travel from our Kelso base: 55 minutes via the A1.

Dunbar Servicing & Repairs FAQs

Should harbour-side Dunbar properties spec anything special?+

Yes — corrosion-resistant flue terminations and external pipework are well worth specifying on harbour-side EH42 properties. We do this as standard.

Do you cover Dunbar even though it's a fair drive from Kelso?+

Yes — we run dedicated East Lothian days that take in Dunbar, so EH42 work is scheduled efficiently rather than as a one-off long trip.

How often should I service my boiler?+

Annually — most manufacturers require it to honour their warranty, and it keeps the system safe, efficient and far less likely to fail in the middle of January.

Do you fix all makes of boiler?+

Yes — Vaillant, Worcester Bosch, Ideal, Baxi, Grant, Warmflow, Glow-worm, Potterton and most other major brands. We carry common spares on the van.

What does a service include?+

Strip-down clean, gas pressure and flue analysis, controls and safety check, condensate inspection, system pressure check and a written service record for your file.
