FAQs

Water pressure can be boosted in a number of ways, including the installation of an accumulator, a booster pump or upgrading the water mains. We can test your water pressure and recommend a bespoke solution based on your requirements and current heating system.

There are 3 main types of boiler systems, a gravity heating system which is ideal for low pressure and a sealed heating system which is pressured using mains water, both of these systems will need to have a vented or unvented cylinder. There is also a combi boiler which heats water on demand. We can visit to carry out a free quote where we can advise you of the best and most economic system for your home.

To retain the manufacturers warranty and ensure maximum efficiency your boiler a full service should be carried out once a year. We carry out full boiler services and landlords gas safety certificates from £80, please contact us to book.

To ensure maximum efficiency, once a year, your boiler should be serviced. This keeps the internals of the boiler clean and working within the correct gas settings. Having the heating system drained out and cleaned every couple of years will also give better efficiency.

A heating filter collects all the build up of sludge and metal filings that go around the heating system and eventually block up a boiler. Most boiler manufacturers will not honour their warranty if one is not fitted.

A scale reducer changes the water particles so as the scale passes through the boiler it does not stick to hot surfaces, so prevents the scale build up in combination boilers.

To prolong the life of your boiler I would highly recommend to have both no matter where you are in the country.

A new heating system consisting of 8 radiators and a new combination boiler typically takes 4-5 days for a engineer and a plumbers mate.

Boiler warranty will differ by manufacturer, but normally they cover all parts and labour for up to ten years. The boiler must be serviced every year or the manufacturer can cancel the warranty.

A boiler that is installed correctly and maintained every year should last at least ten years, but some will last a lot longer.

You should replace your boiler once the parts become scarce or become so expensive that it is no longer cost effective to do.

A very old boiler that still works, but regularly breaks down is some times a good idea to change as a new boiler will come with a long warranty and will save you a lot of money on your fuel bill.

There are many options on how to run pipe work to radiators, but depending on the engineer and customer specification pipes can be hidden in the wall to give a more neat and tidy look.
