Question 1

What areas do you cover from Colne?

Accepted Answer

We are based in Colne (BB8) and cover Burnley and the Pendle area, plus surrounding towns and villages within around 10 miles, including Trawden, Barnoldswick, Nelson, Barrowford, Foulridge and Skipton. If you are not sure whether we cover your area, give us a call and we will let you know.

Question 2

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 3

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 4

Are you Gas Safe registered?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Spencer Jordan Plumbing and Heating is Gas Safe registered, Register No. 640113, which you can verify directly on the Gas Safe Register. We only carry out central heating and gas work within that registration.

Question 5

How often should I have my boiler serviced?

Accepted Answer

We strongly recommend having your boiler serviced annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Regular servicing ensures your boiler operates safely and efficiently, helps prevent unexpected breakdowns, keeps your manufacturer's warranty valid, and can extend the lifespan of your boiler by several years. An annual service typically takes around 30-45 minutes and includes safety checks, efficiency testing and a visual inspection of key components.

Question 6

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

Accepted Answer

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

Question 7

What should I do if I smell gas in my home?

Accepted Answer

If you smell gas or suspect a leak, you should immediately open doors and windows to ventilate the area, turn off the gas supply at the meter (if safe to do so), avoid using any electrical switches, naked flames, or phones inside the property, leave the property, and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 immediately. Once the emergency has been handled, contact us during working hours for any follow-up repair work.

Question 8

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.

Question 9

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

Accepted Answer

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

Question 10

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.
