How long does a new boiler installation take?
A like-for-like swap in the same position is typically a day. Converting between boiler types — a regular system to a combi, say — takes longer because the tank and cylinder come out and pipework changes.
Do you charge a call-out fee in Dennistoun?
No separate call-out charge. The price we agree covers travelling to your Dennistoun address and doing the work, and it's confirmed on site before anything starts. If you decide not to proceed after diagnosis, we'll tell you exactly where you stand first — no pressure.
What size boiler do I need?
It depends on your property size, number of radiators and how many bathrooms draw hot water at once — not on fitting the biggest available. An oversized boiler cycles inefficiently and costs more to run. We size it properly and explain the reasoning.
Which boiler brands do you repair in Dennistoun?
All the major ones — Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Ideal, Baxi, Glow-worm, Potterton, Viessmann and more, across combi, system and regular boilers. Given the red and blonde sandstone tenements, a large share let to tenants common in Dennistoun, we carry parts for the models we see most often here so a first-visit fix is realistic.
Combi, system or regular — which is right for my home?
Combi suits most flats and smaller homes with decent mains pressure. System boilers with a cylinder handle larger homes and multiple bathrooms better. Regular boilers are usually kept when replacing like-for-like where a loft tank already exists.
Are your engineers Gas Safe registered?
Yes — every gas and boiler job we carry out in Dennistoun is done by a Gas Safe registered engineer under registration 930395. You're welcome to check the register yourself, and our engineer will show ID when they arrive.
Do you remove and dispose of the old boiler?
Yes, that's included. We take the old unit away and dispose of it properly — you're not left with it in the garage.
I'm a landlord in Dennistoun — can you do a CP12?
Yes. We issue landlord gas safety certificates (CP12) across Dennistoun and the rest of Glasgow City, with the paperwork provided on the day. Many Dennistoun landlords combine it with a full service in the same visit, which works out cheaper than booking twice. We can also set up renewal reminders.
Is a system flush included?
We assess whether the system needs one and tell you honestly. Fitting a new boiler onto an old, dirty system is a false economy — debris circulates into the new unit. Be cautious of any quote that's cheaper because it quietly omits this.
Do you work evenings and weekends in Dennistoun?
Yes. Heating faults don't keep office hours, so we take emergency calls around the clock for Dennistoun. Non-urgent work like servicing can be booked for whatever slot suits you, including evenings.
