Description: The remit was to replace the old balanced flue system boiler with a combi boiler and relocate to somewhere other than between the middle of the kitchen windown and doorway where it clearly should not have been for safety reasons. The safety issues weren’t just the CO issue but the previous installer also cut out all but two bricks which were supportingt all of the brickwork above! We decided to relocate the boiler to the loft and keep the kitchen free from extra cluter. It became apparent early on that the old heating system had been installed by somebodt with little knowledge of heating design and the skills to match. The original timer had one setting! Either heat and hot water were on or they were both off. There was no way to seperate the two. When we started to remove all the old pipe work we found out why. The heating coil in the copper cylinder was being fed directly off the same pipe work as the heating system. We had to divide the two systems and after locating all of the required old pipe work we ran new runs up to the combi. We also added a remote filling loop and pressure gaige to the boiler so that the home owner could monitor the system on a reglual basis without having to run up and down the loft ladder.  Alll in all it was a challange to move this boiler but the kictchen is now open and the old gas burning boiler has now been replaced with an energy efficient Viessmann Combi.

Description: After a British Gas bloke used some interesting sales techniques to one of their lifelong clients the jig was up!! The high pressure sales technique was not appreciated. They received our name from an acquaintance whom we’ve worked for in the past and we stopped by to see if we could help.

We worked out a strategy for relocating the new boiler from the wet room and created a new location in the loft. After kitting out the loft and checking gas, water and electrics for suitability and safety issues we got on with the job. We completed the work in a couple of days.

Even with the loft conversion and a few minor electrical repairs which needed sorting, which British Gas had not included in their quote, we came in well under their quoted price.

Description: Our client had just moved into a new home and wanted the old and poorly operating system boiler replaced with a new combination boiler. We planned to relocate the boiler from the kitchen up to the loft at the same time.

We always suggest that clients go away for a few days while we do this type of work as it can very invasive. In this case we had to pull up some of the tiled bathroom floor, part of one of the bedroom floors as well as board out the loft and drain the entire heating system which had NO built in drains. We also fit Thermostatic Radiator Valves to every radiator in the home.

We had all the work completed in time for their return and they were surprised that there was no mess, no damage and the only signs of our work was the missing boiler in the kitchen.
