Certain Worcester Bosch Greenstar boilers now have a 12 (yes TWELVE!) year parts and labour guarantee. This is an amazing offer and means customers buying a new Greenstar Life / Style boiler get peace of mind for 12 years.
Please contact us for more details and to get a free (obviously!) quotation.
We can fit a
Honeywell heating control that provides wireless access to your central
heating boiler, PLUS, remote access through an app. This allows control of
your boiler while away from home - ideal for people who do not work regular
hours, or who want to put heating on or off while away from home. Now is a
good time to organise new heating controls, ready for the winter.
Contact us for more details.
Sadly, we've had to give in and increase prices slightly. This is as you can imagine, due to rising costs to the business. Having to buy items such as PPE adds to the cost of a job, as does higher costs of insurance.
We strive to keep prices as low as possible and hope that customers understand the need to increase prices. We aim to offer an affordable solution to servicing and repair work when compared to our competitors, and have not increased prices for over 5 years.
Currently testing for covid twice weekly. Hopefully this reassures customers that we are taking the situation seriously and acting in as safe a way as possible.
As we did not work in January and February, we are still catching up with the backlog but are slowly returning to normal planning of bookings. Thank you to regular customers, for their continued support and understanding during recent weeks.
We have taken the difficult decision to suspend work for the time being, owing to the increasing numbers of local virus cases. We will resume working when the virus case numbers drop significantly, or a vaccine is available.
Thank you for your understanding during these times. Please contact us to discuss your requirements, or to find out more about the services we offer.
We are taking the current virus situation very seriously and want customers to know that we are fit and well, and are aware of the symptoms and procedures required following the development of any symptoms.
Hopefully we will get through this difficult time without too much disruption, but if there are any difficulties with our suppliers, or the advice from the Government changes, please accept our apologies if we cannot deliver our usual level of service.
Please let us know before we arrive to a planned visit if you or anyone in your home has any symptoms and we will rearrrange the visit for when you feel better. This is important for everyone so that we do not end up catching the virus and spreading it to others.
We are once again able to take card payments.
Using a portable / mobile card reader, we are able to take payment using your debit or credit card.
This is the redesigned Harry Willis Limited website. Please feel free to contact us with comments, suggestions, or just to say 'hello'!
Website designed and built by Harry Willis, using CSS and standard HTML, without Javascript.
Tested in various browsers. Seems to work fine, other than some text resizing issues in Opera and Firefox - if you use these browsers and resize the text, strange things may happen! While it may be nice to spend time to correct these problems, there are more essential things to be done, here in internet land and real life.
Worcester have brought out some new boilers, which look very sytlish and are not meant to be hidden away in a cupboard.
Available in a range of capacities, as combi or regular/system boilers, and in black or white, with the option of a silver flue. Contact us for more details and to get a free (obviously!) quotation.

Having had previous van for a few years, it was time to find another one. I know that some customers think along the lines of 'well if he has a new van, he must be rolling in it', or similar. Those people can rest assured that the van is not brand new, he is not rolling in it, and the van will be paid for in three years time!
We have started using an electronic record keeping system, instead of the paper-based method. This is to reduce the amount of paper we use, and store, and to generally improve the details we keep.
During visits, instead of writing on expensive pads of pre-printed forms, we use an electronic system to record details of the address and findings from the work we carry out. These details can be printed if needed, but ideally we can provide the documents by email, saving paper and printer ink. This helps reduce costs, and the amount of paper records we have to store.
It would be appreciated that those customers who use email would let us provide documentation (including invoices) electronically. We promise not to use email addresses for any other reason than to send the documents relating to the work we carry out.
We are aware of at least one national company (who's name we aren't going to repeat here!) that claim to be able to install a Worcester Bosch boiler with a 10 year guarantee, for a lot less than we can. Having looked at their website, we can see a few things that need further consideration:
There is a lot to consider when selecting a new boiler and installer. We do not feel this can be done simply on a website, if you want to make sure you get the best boiler solution, sited in the best position, and installed by a good installer, of YOUR choice. Contact us for more details.
Undertaken training with Honeywell on their new evoHome control system. See Honeywell's website for more information, and contact us to discuss the possibilities to remotely control your heating system via the internet and your phone. As well as offering remote control of your heating system evoHome allows you to divide your heating system into zones and control each zone according to your needs and save money by reducing your energy costs....more
We take payment by card, bank transfer, cheque or cash.
For some larger work, we ask for a deposit to secure a booking when expensive items (such as boilers) have to be bought in advance of work commencing.
We have a profile on Facebook, and on Twitter, but have found that customers rarely contact us this way. Email is far better for getting in touch, as we check that more regularly than Twitter or Facebook.
We can take payment by debit card, but for larger jobs we prefer bank transfer, or cheque, to avoid high card fees.
We can be contacted by telephone FREE on our freephone number (see below) but if you use a mobile, you can call us on our usual mobile number.
We can be very busy but if you leave a message, we will ring you back as soon as we can.
We can be contacted by email using the address shown below and we will reply as soon as possible.
We are Registered with Gas Safe Register and believe that it is essential that customers understand how seriously we take this.
