Question 1

How long does a new boiler installation take?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

Why is my boiler losing pressure?

Accepted Answer

Most often a small leak somewhere in the system, a worn pressure relief valve, or a failing expansion vessel. Topping up occasionally is normal; needing to do it every few days is not. Given the age of the heating in many Govan & Ibrox properties, a pressure test is usually the quickest way to find the cause.

Question 3

What size boiler do I need?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

Can you fit radiators or move one in Govan & Ibrox?

Accepted Answer

Yes — new radiator installs, replacements and relocations, sized properly for the room rather than guessed. We'll balance the system afterwards so every room in your Govan & Ibrox home heats evenly instead of one being roasting and another cold.

Question 5

Combi, system or regular — which is right for my home?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

Do you take card payment in Govan & Ibrox?

Accepted Answer

Yes — card or bank transfer, paid on completion unless we've agreed otherwise in writing beforehand. You'll have the itemised price before any work starts, so there are no surprises when it comes to settling up in Govan & Ibrox.

Question 7

Do you remove and dispose of the old boiler?

Accepted Answer

Yes, that's included. We take the old unit away and dispose of it properly — you're not left with it in the garage.

Question 8

Can you service a boiler in a rented flat in Govan & Ibrox?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and it's very common in Govan & Ibrox. We can liaise directly with your tenant to arrange access — just give us their contact details when booking. You get the certificate and the invoice; they get a straightforward appointment without you having to relay messages. Handy if you live away from Glasgow City.

Question 9

Is a system flush included?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 10

How do I know your engineer is genuine?

Accepted Answer

Ask for the Gas Safe ID card — ours shows registration 930395 and the specific gas work each engineer is qualified for. You can verify it on the Gas Safe Register website in under a minute. We'd encourage that check with any engineer entering your Govan & Ibrox home, not just us.
