How quickly can an engineer attend a boiler repair in Edinburgh?
Same day across all EH postcodes if you book before 2pm, next morning after that. Out-of-hours attendance is available after 6pm and at weekends at the £140 rate. Vulnerable households and no-heat calls in winter are prioritised.
How much does a boiler repair cost in Edinburgh?
Heatscape charges a fixed £95 diagnostic across every EH postcode, deducted in full from any repair carried out on the same visit. Out of hours (after 6pm and weekends) is £140. Most common repairs land between £120 and £420 all-in including parts and labour. If a repair would cost more than about £600 on a boiler over 10 years old, we quote a like-for-like replacement at £2,295 instead.
Do you offer fixed-price boiler repairs?
Yes. The diagnostic is a fixed £95 and every repair is quoted in writing before any work starts. There are no parking charges, no congestion fees, no inspection levies and no hourly overruns added afterwards.
Do you charge extra for the Edinburgh city centre or congestion areas?
No. One price across every EH postcode — no parking surcharge in the New Town, no access levy for Old Town closes, no zone loading for Leith or Portobello.
Is my 1930s cavity already filled?
Often partially or poorly. We borescope before quoting rather than assuming, and price extraction and refill where the existing fill has slumped.
What size heat pump suits a Blackhall semi?
Typically 6-9 kW after loft and cavity work, with a small number of radiator upgrades.
Quoted on Monday, fitted by Friday. Fixed price, no surprises, and the engineer cleaned up better than I did. House is finally warm in the upstairs bedrooms.
