How long does fitting a new boiler take?

It depends on the job. A like-for-like swap, where the new unit goes where the old one was, is commonly a one-day job. A first-time fit, or moving the boiler or changing the system type, usually takes one to two days because there's more pipework and more to commission. We give you a firm date and a written, line-by-line price once we've seen the system.

Can you install smart heating controls such as Nest or Hive?

Yes. The common smart and zoned thermostats are straightforward to fit and set up, paired to your system and your phone, and zoned where you have the valves for it, so you can heat the rooms you're using rather than the whole house. This is controls-and-wiring work and can be done on its own or alongside other heating work.

Is it worth replacing my boiler, or should I just repair it?

As a rule of thumb: if the boiler is over about ten years old, has needed repeated repairs, or is getting hard to find parts for, replacing it usually works out cheaper over time and cuts your running costs, because modern condensing boilers are far more efficient. If it's newer and the fault is a one-off, a repair is normally the sensible call. We'll give you the honest assessment after we've looked at it, because there's no upside for us in talking you into a new boiler you don't need.

What the work covers

Heating sorted,explained in plain terms.

New boiler installations

Combi, system or regular, sized to the house and how much hot water it actually needs, with the pipework routed cleanly and the system commissioned.

Boiler replacements

Swapping an old or failing boiler for a modern, more efficient unit, whether like-for-like where it suits or a change of type or location where there's a good reason. We size it properly rather than just match what was there.

Smart heating controls

Smart and zoned thermostats from the well-known brands, fitted and set up so you can control the heating room by room and from your phone.

Radiators

New radiators, towel rails and column or vertical designs supplied, fitted and balanced across the system so every room heats evenly.

Powerflushing and system cleansing

Cold spots, noisy pipes and slow warm-ups are usually sludge in the system. A full flush clears it, restores circulation and can add years to the system's life.

Repairs and servicing

When the heating drops out we trace the fault, fit the part and get you warm again, then keep the boiler reliable with routine servicing that catches small problems before they turn into breakdowns.
