I’m Chris Greenhalgh, and I have over 15 years of hands-on experience in the trade. I founded CMG Heating & Plumbing in 2021 and it is run by me and no one else, with a simple aim: quality work, honest pricing, and clients kept properly informed from first call to finished job. Based in Bolton, I serve homeowners, businesses, landlords and churches in and around the town.

What I do

Gas Safe Registered, WaterSafe, City & Guilds & CIPHE Accredited

Every job is carried out by me — fully qualified and Gas Safe registered — WaterSafe approved, City & Guilds trained and a member of the Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering.

None of that is decoration. Gas Safe registration is a legal requirement, renewed every year, and the gas work I notify can be inspected. CIPHE members are vetted before joining, have to keep their skills current, and answer to an independent complaints panel. If I ever fall short, there’s somewhere to go that isn’t me.

And you’ll know exactly when I’m coming

A text when I set off

Sent automatically the moment I start your job, with a rough time, so you are not waiting in all morning.

A live map to your door

That text carries a tracking link. Watch where I am on the way to you, updating as I drive.

Every job on record

Photos, gas readings, parts and notes kept against your address, so I can pull your history up years later.

Certificates by email

Gas safety records and installation paperwork completed on site and sent as PDFs. Nothing to chase.

Ready to get your job sorted?

Call for a straight answer, or send your details through the booking form and I’ll confirm a date and time that suits.

Do you have a call-out charge?

Yes — £132 including VAT. That covers travelling to you and the first hour and a half on site, which is where most repairs finish. After that it is £45 for each further half hour. It is the same price wherever you are in the area: no distance surcharge, and nothing added on the day.

What does a boiler service cost?

£105 including VAT, and it is the same price whether you are five minutes away or twelve miles out. That buys a full service to your manufacturer’s own schedule. A gas fire is also £105. For landlords, a Gas Safety Record is £99 on its own, or £150 alongside a service.

Do I pay anything up front?

On the fixed-price jobs you can book online — a £105 boiler or gas fire service, or the £132 call-out — the price is taken in full when you book. That is the whole price for the visit, not a deposit, and there is nothing to pay on the day unless parts or extra time are needed. Parts are never charged before you have agreed what they cost, and time beyond the first 90 minutes is agreed with you on site. On quoted work, like a new boiler, a bathroom or a heat pump, I take 50% at booking and the balance is due on completion.

Do you take cash?

Yes — cash, card or bank transfer, whichever suits you, and the price is the same either way. I do not knock money off for cash, because a cheaper cash price only works if the job never goes through the books, and that is tax evasion rather than a discount. Every job is invoiced with the VAT shown, which is also what your guarantee and your certificate hang on.

Do you charge for quotes?

No — quotes are free and there is no obligation.

How quickly can you come out?

Emergencies are prioritised the same day wherever possible. Routine work is usually booked within the week.

Are you insured?

Yes — £5 million public liability cover, Gas Safe registered (917962) and CIPHE accredited (129130).

Do you guarantee your work?

Yes — 24 months on my own workmanship, running from the day the job is finished. Bathroom installations are 12 months, because tiling is subcontracted and I am not the only trade in the room.

What areas do you cover?

Bolton and 12 miles around it — Farnworth, Kearsley, Little Lever, Harwood, Bradshaw and the rest. One price across the whole area, with no travel surcharge and nothing to work out from your postcode. Beyond 12 miles, ask and I’ll tell you straight away.
