Boilers operate with valves and seals to enable the full functioning of the appliance. Because of this, there is always the feasibility that the boiler is leaking. Leaks can be caused by a variety of issues, related to but not exclusive to; rusting, corrosion, faulty pumps somewhere in the system, high temperatures and wear and tear.
Leaks can be quickly diagnosed and solved, however, it is also possible for new installations to have a leak, in these cases you are covered by our new boiler guarantee.
Different types of boiler
Deciding on which boiler is right for you can be its own challenge, there are many types of boiler on the market, and depending on your requirements all could be a good solution.
The most common type of boiler is the combi boiler. It combines the two systems of water and central heating, negating totally the need for an external water tank.
Other types of boiler are more traditional, that have external water tanks. These include a system boiler and a standard boiler. The system boiler uses an external tank - used to store hot water, while heating is controlled through the actual boiler.
Standard boilers need both hot and cold water external tanks. These types of boilers are more common amongst older properties and systems.
There are lots of options for a new boiler installation. Large brands have dominated the market for the past 40-years and companies like Hoover, Bosch and Whirlpool are now established with a selection of boilers for all budgets.
Whilst the choice can be stifling, even confusing, you may think that they will all do the same job. This is not the case. When choosing a boiler you should consider, your boiler needs, budget and what is suitable for the space. All come with their own advantages, depending on your needs. Our team can run through these options so you have a clear understanding of what boiler you need.
As an integral part of your homes DNA, a boiler should be regularly serviced to avoid disruption and breakdowns. We recommend this boiler servicing once a year. This keeps your boiler in the optimum condition and will avoid any major problems.
Keeping and maintaining your boiler in a good working condition is the easiest way to avoid costly call-outs for boiler repairs and servicing. Alongside this fact, we recommend boiler servicing to keep your boiler warranty valid.

Kevin came the same day and identified the faulty part, he was able to replace it with a new unit. Contact at site said he was very friendly and helpful, job was completed within the hour. I would definitely use his services again.
Kevin's experience and work ethic makes him stand out from the rest. He is an extremely hard worker, courteous, polite and COVID compliant. In addition, Kevin is an excellent problem solver. This, together with his ability to see the bigger picture, saved me from a lot of unnecessary work and expense. I am very pleased with the result of all Kevin's hard work and I would be completely confident in recommending Kevin to anyone.
Kevin was polite and for the most part the work performed was excellent, however: 1) Two of the replaced TRVs had small leaks which resulted in pressure loss from the system. 2) The OPENTHERM connection between boiler and NEST thermostat was not installed. 3) It appears that sludge from the system flush was discharged into our downstairs WC (rather than the outside drains) resulting in a situation where flushing the toilet would have resulted in an overflow. Rather than resolve the blockage, Kevin cut the supply pipe to the cistern and capped it.
Excellent service, a professional job done quickly and to a high standard, also a reasonable cost. Would highly recommend.
After a different plumber advised us of the issue with our boiler we called Kevin to see if he had any availability to fix it sooner. He came round the same day as my call and took a look. Thank goodness he did as it was a totally different problem to what we initially thought. He got the boiler working there and then, and noticed we needed a different replacement part. He ordered that for us, and came back to fit it the following week. Very polite and good at what he does. We will be getting him back to service the boiler later this year.
The work was fantastic. Kevin was professional and courteous and did an amazing job. He worked tirelessly to check we were happy and kept us involved the whole way through explaining things in terms I understood. If anyone needs work doing I would encourage you to contact Kevin as he will do you a great job.
