Question 1

How long has Spencer Jordan Plumbing and Heating been trading?

Accepted Answer

We were founded in 2014, giving us more than 10 years of experience serving Helmshore and the surrounding Lancashire area with plumbing and heating repairs.

Question 2

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 3

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 4

How can I check your Gas Safe registration in Helmshore?

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 Helmshore or anywhere else.

Question 5

Which boiler brands do you install and recommend?

Accepted Answer

As a Baxi Approved Installer, we specialise in Baxi boilers and can offer extended warranties of up to 10 years. Baxi produce highly reliable, energy-efficient boilers with excellent value for money. We can also install other leading brands such as Worcester Bosch and Vaillant if required, and will recommend the best boiler for your home based on your property size, hot water demands, and budget rather than pushing a single brand.

Question 6

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 7

Can you fit new taps, sinks or toilets?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We install replacement taps, sinks, toilets and associated pipework as part of general plumbing work, whether that is a straightforward swap or part of a wider bathroom or kitchen update in your Helmshore home.

Question 8

Can you replace an old cylinder with an unvented one?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this is a common upgrade when a vented system struggles with poor pressure. We will assess your incoming mains pressure and flow rate first to confirm an unvented cylinder is suitable for your property before recommending it.

Question 9

Do you offer a fixed price for plumbing repairs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Wherever possible we provide a fixed price once we have seen or understood the job, rather than an open-ended hourly rate, so you know the cost upfront before any work begins.

Question 10

What is the difference between a vented and an unvented cylinder?

Accepted Answer

A vented cylinder relies on a cold water tank in the loft, while an unvented cylinder stores water at mains pressure without one, giving stronger and more consistent pressure at every tap. We are qualified to install and service unvented systems.
