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

What types of boiler can you install, combi, system, or conventional?

Accepted Answer

We install all three types: combi boilers (heating water on demand with no separate cylinder), system boilers (working with a hot water cylinder), and conventional heat-only boilers (working with a cylinder and cold water tank). We will recommend the right type for your property during a free survey.

Question 3

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 4

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 5

Is it actually illegal to fit my own gas hob?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Fitting your own gas appliance is against the law, not just inadvisable. Every gas cooker or hob installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and our Register No. 640113 can be verified independently before work begins.

Question 6

Can I fit my own gas cooker or hob in Greenfield?

Accepted Answer

No. By law, any gas appliance including cookers and hobs must be installed by a Gas Safe registered engineer. This is both a legal requirement and a genuine safety matter, since an incorrectly connected gas appliance can be dangerous. We cover Greenfield and the wider Lancashire area.

Question 7

How long does it take to install a gas cooker or hob?

Accepted Answer

A straightforward like-for-like installation typically takes around 30 to 60 minutes, including the safety tightness test. If new pipework is needed, this can take longer, which we will confirm before starting rather than surprising you on the day.

Question 8

What is a gas tightness test and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

A tightness test checks the entire gas connection for any leaks after the appliance is fitted, using a pressure gauge. It is a mandatory safety check we carry out on every installation, giving you confidence the connection behind your cooker or hob is safe.

Question 9

Can you fit a gas hob into an existing kitchen worktop cut-out in Greenfield?

Accepted Answer

Yes, provided the cut-out matches or can be adapted to the new hob, we can connect it into the existing space. Where the layout is changing as part of a renovation, we work alongside kitchen fitters to get the timing right.

Question 10

Do you disconnect old gas cookers as well as fit new ones?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can safely disconnect and cap off an old gas cooker or hob as part of the same visit when fitting a replacement, or on its own if you are switching to electric. Everything is left tidy and properly made safe.
