Question 1

How much can I save by upgrading to a new boiler?

Accepted Answer

Upgrading from an old, inefficient boiler to a modern A-rated condensing boiler can save you hundreds of pounds a year on your energy bills, depending on your current boiler's age and efficiency. We will give you an honest estimate of the likely savings for your specific property during a free survey, rather than a generic figure.

Question 2

How do I bleed a radiator myself safely?

Accepted Answer

Turn off your heating first, then use a radiator key to slowly open the bleed valve at the top corner until water, not air, flows out steadily, then close it. If you are not confident, or it does not clear the cold spots, get in touch.

Question 3

What happens during a central heating system check?

Accepted Answer

We assess your radiators, valves, pipework and existing filter to find exactly where heat is being lost before recommending anything. Once we know what the system needs, we give you a fixed quote, so you know the full cost before any work begins.

Question 4

Are your prices fixed or do you charge by the hour?

Accepted Answer

Wherever possible we provide a fixed, written quote before work begins, covering installations, servicing and most plumbing jobs, so there are no surprises on the day. This is confirmed after a free survey or an honest phone conversation about the job.

Question 5

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 6

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 7

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 8

Do you fit smart thermostats or heating controls?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We fit and set up modern heating controls and smart thermostats compatible with your boiler, giving you better room-by-room control and scheduling. It is a straightforward upgrade that helps you manage comfort and running costs more precisely.

Question 9

Is a central heating check the same as a boiler service?

Accepted Answer

No. A boiler service covers the boiler itself, while a central heating check looks at radiators, valves, pipework and the existing filter across the whole system. We can assess both together so nothing in the system gets missed.

Question 10

Will a powerflush damage an older system?

Accepted Answer

A powerflush is a standard, well-established maintenance procedure, but on a very old or already fragile system there is a small risk of exposing existing weak points. We always assess your system first and are upfront if we think a gentler approach is more appropriate.
