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

How often should an unvented cylinder be serviced?

Accepted Answer

Unvented cylinders should be serviced annually by a qualified engineer, both for safety, as they operate at higher pressure than vented systems, and to keep any manufacturer warranty valid. We are unvented cylinder qualified and can carry out that annual service.

Question 3

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 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

Do you fix leaking taps and toilets in Billington?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dripping taps, running toilets and general leak repairs are some of the most common jobs we handle in Billington. Most are straightforward and can be fixed in a single visit, and we agree a fixed price before we start.

Question 6

What is an unvented hot water cylinder?

Accepted Answer

An unvented cylinder stores hot water at mains pressure without needing a cold water tank in the loft, giving strong, consistent pressure at every tap. We are qualified to install and service unvented cylinders safely, which by law requires specific certified training.

Question 7

Do you offer emergency call-outs in Billington?

Accepted Answer

No, we do not offer emergency call-outs or weekend work. We operate Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm. If you have a burst pipe, turn the water off at the stopcock, and for a gas emergency call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999.

Question 8

How can I check your Gas Safe registration in Billington?

Accepted Answer

You can verify our registration independently on the official Gas Safe Register using our Register No. 640113. We would always encourage checking this before any gas work begins, in Billington or anywhere else.

Question 9

How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?

Accepted Answer

Warning signs include an unexpectedly high water bill, damp patches on walls, ceilings or flooring, a musty smell, or your water meter still ticking over when everything is turned off. If you suspect a hidden leak, get it checked promptly to limit damage.

Question 10

Can you handle plumbing and heating problems on the same visit?

Accepted Answer

In many cases, yes. Alongside general plumbing repairs we also work on boilers and heating, so a single visit can often cover both if the two issues are related.
