Boiler Installation
We specialise in installing Worcester, Vaillant, and Baxi boilers with MagnaClean filters to enhance efficiency. Our Gas Safe engineers assess property requirements to recommend optimal boiler types, including combi systems. All installations include system flushing and disposal of old units, ensuring minimal disruption for homeowners.
Emergency Repairs
Our 24/7 emergency service addresses burst pipes, boiler failures, and leaks. Engineers carry essential parts for same-day fixes, with typical response times under 30 minutes. We prioritise restoring heating systems during winter months while maintaining strict safety protocols for gas appliance repairs.
Boiler Servicing
Annual boiler servicing includes safety checks, efficiency testing, and MagnaClean filter replacements. We provide detailed reports to landlords and homeowners, ensuring compliance with insurance requirements. Servicing extends equipment lifespan while maintaining optimal energy consumption levels for reduced utility bills.
Unvented Systems
We design and install unvented hot water systems compliant with Building Regulations Part G. Our engineers handle pressure vessel installations and provide WRAS-approved components. System integration with existing plumbing ensures consistent water flow rates for residential properties requiring high-performance hot water delivery.
