Question 1

How long does a boiler installation typically take?

Accepted Answer

A straightforward like-for-like combi boiler swap usually takes one working day. Converting from a conventional or system boiler to a combi, or fitting a new unvented cylinder alongside the installation, can take one to two days depending on the pipework involved. We confirm the expected timescale in your written quote.

Question 2

Can you add a new radiator to my existing system in Croft?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can add radiators to extend heating into conservatories, extensions or previously unheated rooms in your Croft home. We check first that your boiler and system have the capacity to support the addition properly before fitting it.

Question 3

What is a powerflush and do I need one?

Accepted Answer

A powerflush forces cleaning fluid through your heating system at high velocity to remove built-up sludge, rust and debris. If radiators run cold in patches, or the boiler makes banging or kettling noises, it is often the recommended first step before any other work.

Question 4

What does a magnetic filter do?

Accepted Answer

A magnetic filter sits on the pipework near your boiler and continuously traps metallic sludge and debris, protecting the boiler heat exchanger from damage. Most manufacturers now recommend or require one to keep the warranty valid, which makes it a cheap, worthwhile addition.

Question 5

What does a banging or kettling boiler noise mean?

Accepted Answer

Banging or kettling noises usually mean sludge or debris has built up around the heat exchanger or in the system, restricting flow. It is often resolved with a powerflush, though we always check the system first before recommending one.

Question 6

What are TRVs and why would I want them?

Accepted Answer

Thermostatic radiator valves let you set an individual temperature for each radiator, so you are not heating rooms you rarely use to the same level as the rest of the house. They are a simple, low-cost way to improve comfort and control running costs.

Question 7

Why are my radiators cold at the top but hot at the bottom?

Accepted Answer

That is a classic sign of trapped air, usually fixed by bleeding the radiator. If it keeps coming back, it can point to a wider system issue worth having checked. We are happy to take a look for homes in Croft if bleeding does not solve it.

Question 8

Do you give a fixed price before starting work in Croft?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every central heating job is quoted as a fixed price once we have assessed your Croft property, so you know the full cost before anything begins. There is no obligation to book after the quote.

Question 9

Do you offer emergency call-outs?

Accepted Answer

We operate Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm, and do not offer emergency call-outs or weekend work. We do prioritise urgent boiler breakdowns and aim to attend as quickly as possible during our working hours. For a true gas emergency (smell of gas or suspected leak), contact the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 immediately.

Question 10

Do you maintain central heating for landlords in Croft?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We install, repair and maintain central heating systems for landlords as well as homeowners across Croft and Lancashire, with a fixed quote agreed before any work starts so costs are clear for rental properties.
