If you don’t see your question listed, please feel free to get in touch — we’re always happy to offer straightforward advice.

How often should my boiler be serviced?

Your boiler should be serviced once a year. Annual servicing keeps it running safely and efficiently, helps prevent breakdowns, and maintains manufacturer warranties.

What is a CP12 Gas Safety Certificate?

A CP12 certificate is a legal requirement for landlords. It confirms that all gas appliances, pipework and flues in a rental property have been checked and are safe to use.

How do I know if my boiler needs replacing?

Signs include frequent breakdowns, rising energy bills, strange noises, inconsistent heating, or if your boiler is over 10–15 years old. We can assess your system and provide honest advice on repair vs replacement.

Do you offer fixed-price quotes?

Yes. Wherever possible, we provide clear, no-obligation fixed-price quotes before starting work so you know exactly what to expect.

What should I do if I have a leak?

If safe to do so, turn off your water supply and contact us as soon as possible. Even small leaks can cause damage if left untreated.

Do you work with landlords?

Yes, we regularly work with landlords for boiler servicing, CP12 certificates, repairs and ongoing property maintenance.
