What happens once I have taken out my plan?

Once you’ve signed up, you will receive an email from us with your login details to our client portal. Please log in and complete as much information about your boiler as possible. The more information you provide, the quicker and more effectively we will be able to deal with any future repairs. Then you can sit back and relax.

From your portal you can also download and view your Welcome Pack - we recommend you do this when you first log-in as it gives you all the information you need about your service agreement and how to contact us.

How long is the agreement for?

Our Agreements are for a minimum of 12 months, meaning you're only ever committed to us for a year at a time. However, at YourRepair we give you the option to fix your monthly price for up to 3 years - giving you peace of mind regardless of how many repairs you book. Whether you choose a 1, 2 or 3 year Fixed Price Term, your Contract Term remains at 12 months. 

You will receive an email 30 days before the end of your Fixed Price Term advising you of your renewal price. Please ensure your email address is up to date within your customer portal. (Occasionally email filters may send this email into your spam folder so be sure to check) 

If we do not receive any correspondence from you within those 30 days your contract will renew for an additional 12 months. If, once you receive your renewal notice, you decide you wish to cancel the policy please call us on 0330 223 4422, option 3.

Please note cancelling your direct debit does not terminate the contract.

Is there a call-out fee if I book a repair?

When you sign up you can choose your plan with or without a call-out fee per repair. If you choose to pay a call-out fee it will lower your monthly charge, but you will be required to pay the chosen fixed fee amount each time you book a repair.

Can you send a paper copy of my policy documents?

As we are a paperless company, we are currently unable to send out policy documents via post, they are available to view on the website as well as in your online portal when you have signed up with YourRepair.

About my Boiler

My boiler is very old, will you still repair it?

Yes, we will service and repair any age of boiler, providing it's powered by natural gas and in good working order when you joined us.

What happens if you cannot repair my boiler?

Providing your boiler is in good working condition, when you sign up, it is very unlikely we would be unable to repair it if it breaks down.  However, if your boiler is under seven years old, and is deemed beyond economical repair, we will cover the cost of replacing it up to a maximum value of £2,500. If your boiler is over seven years old, subject to availability we may be able to offer a discounted fixed price replacement boiler as part of a new 12 month minimum term service agreement or a contribution towards the cost of a new boiler.

Boiler Servicing

When will you service my boiler?

We will contact you a month before the annual boiler services are being carried out in your area, to arrange a suitable day to attend. Rest assured, if your service is overdue it won’t affect your support or ability to book a repair via our 24/7 online customer portal.

Is the annual boiler service included and carried out every year?

Yes, it’s included every year, you will be entitled to an annual boiler service within each year of your service agreement.

To Book A Repair

What is the difference between an urgent repair and an emergency?

We will always treat loss of hot water as an urgent repair, and we will treat complete loss of heat as an urgent repair during the winter months (September - February).

We aim to attend all urgent situations by no later than the following working day, when suppliers are open and parts are available.

Under the terms and conditions of your agreement, an emergency situation would be defined as a sudden and unforeseen escape of water or uncontrollable water leak that:

  • Can’t be stopped by turning off the stop tap
  • If left unattended until the following working day would cause further damage to your property
  • Cannot be contained for at least seven hours by putting a container under the leak.

What is the maximum value repair you will complete?

There is no limit on the value of our repairs on any of our plans, providing your appliance or system isn't beyond economical repair.

If I book a repair, what are your average response times?

For emergency repairs (uncontrollable water leaks), our average response time is two hours. For urgent repairs (loss of heat or hot water), our average response time is 24 hours. We will try our best to schedule all other general repairs for a day and time slot to suit you.

Do you use new genuine manufacturer approved parts for repairs?

Yes, all parts used are brand new, genuine, and manufacturer approved, where applicable.
