"Combi in a CW2 detached kept dropping performance. Diagnosed a heat exchanger caked in scale, descaled, fitted a softener with kitchen bypass. Feels like a new appliance."

In short
Crewe's railway-era terraces run in unbroken 1880s streets, and a burst supply pipe here has a knack of tracking three or four houses down the row before anyone notices.
CW1/CW2 stock is dense pre-1900 railway-worker terracing (Wistaston, Crewe town) with shared party-wall drainage and cast-iron rainwater downpipes. CW3 (Nantwich Road corridor) is mixed. CW4 leans toward semi-rural with more modern housing.
The Crewe con is charging a single terrace for a fault that clearly belongs to the row. We identify shared-supply issues explicitly and give you paperwork to split the cost with your neighbours.
Our promise for every Crewe call-out: a free visit to attend and diagnose, a fair-quote figure in writing before any billable repair starts, and there is nothing to pay us for the visit, whether or not we can fix the fault.

"Old back boiler and fire finally gave up. Decommissioned safely, fitted a combi in the kitchen, certificated, made good. Fair fixed price and £50 diagnostic came off the bill."

"Cylinder immersion had been on since the seventies. Replaced element, thermostat and eventually the cylinder itself. Clear written report, no upsell."
