Boiler Servicing & Repairs

We can repair, replace or upgrade your combination gas boiler system and we do not charge call out charges, you only pay for the work we do and the parts we use.

What happens when you are left in the cold? The boiler has failed! the pilot light will not light, the pump stops or the controls have blown a fuse.

Contractors will charge a fortune, they will not have the parts on board and worse they will send a plumber who can not fix it and then you will have to wait until their technician is available.

What is a Conventional Boiler?
With this type of system hot water cannot be provided on demand but must be stored, usually in a copper cylinder (usually located in an airing cupboard) and a cold water tank above it (usually in the attic) as well as a smaller central heating header tank (also usually in the attic).

As the water is pre-heated and stored, it can be used by more than one tap at a time without significant loss of flow. The Conventional system is particularly suited to the larger property with more than one bathroom or where mains water pressure is too low for an instantaneous appliance such as a combination boiler.

There are various ways in which conventional systems can be improved.

• Boiler renewal. Old boilers can be renewed for improved performance, safety and economy.
• Powerflushing to remove accumulated sludge coupled with installation of pressurisation kit (the header tank is removed) for improved filling and circulation.
• Upgrade to pre-lagged, high efficiency conventional cylinder for faster heat up and economy.
• Upgrade to unvented hot water. The large cold tank and cylinder are removed and a special cylinder installed.
• Change to continuous hot water. All 3 tanks are removed and a combination boiler replaces the existing conventional boiler.
• Controls upgrade for separate time and temperature control of central heating and hot water for improved economy and comfort control.

What is a Combination Boiler?
A combination (or combi boiler) is a compact and highly efficient unit giving all the heating and hot water you need, with significant savings on running and installation costs.

Unlike a conventional heating and hot water system,a combination boiler system does not store hot water. It heats water directly from the cold mains - as you use it. There's no hot water cylinder, no tank in the loft (and so less risk of freezing and flooding), and none of the connecting pipework. So you not only save space, but also considerably reduce hot water costs- which can account for up to 60% of a domestic fuel bill.

A combination boiler also supplies hot water at mains pressure, giving you exhilarating power showering without the need for a pump. And as, on average, a shower uses considerably less water than a typical bath, the savings on hot water costs and water consumption can be significant.
