General
Do you cover my area?
We cover Liverpool and everywhere within about 30 miles — including the Wirral, Sefton, Southport, St Helens, Warrington, Wigan and Chester. Use the postcode checker at the top of this page to be sure.
Are your engineers Gas Safe registered?
Yes. All gas work is carried out by Gas Safe registered engineers, and we’re happy to show our ID cards on arrival.
How much does a boiler service cost?
Our annual boiler service is a fixed £69, including a full safety check and flue gas analysis.
How long does a new boiler installation take?
A straightforward combi replacement usually takes one day. Moving the boiler or converting a system takes one to two days.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes — 24/7 for no heating, no hot water, leaks and gas problems. Emergency callouts are £99 for the first hour. If you smell gas, call the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999 first.
Can I speak to someone in Farsi?
Yes. Our team speaks both English and Farsi — call or WhatsApp us and use whichever you prefer.
Boiler installation & replacement
Do you sell boilers?
We focus on installation. We’ll recommend suitable models and can fit a boiler you’ve bought or one we source for you — you’ll get a clear price before any work starts.
Which boiler is right for my home?
It depends on how many bathrooms you have and your water pressure. Most homes with one bathroom suit a combi; larger homes may need a system boiler with a cylinder. We’ll recommend the right size — never oversized.
How long does an installation take?
A like-for-like swap usually takes one day. Moving the boiler or changing the system can take two to three days.
Boiler repair
Is it worth repairing my boiler?
If your boiler is under 10 years old and the fault is a single part, a repair is usually best. If it’s older and breaking down often, we’ll tell you honestly whether a new boiler would save you money.
How much does a boiler repair cost?
Diagnosis and the first hour is £79. We’ll give you the full price, including parts, before we start.
Can you come today?
Usually, yes. Call us before midday for the best chance of a same-day visit.
Boiler service
How long does a boiler service take?
About 45 minutes to an hour.
Do I need a service if the boiler works fine?
Yes — most warranties require a yearly service, and many faults (including carbon monoxide risks) aren’t obvious until something goes wrong.
Can I add a gas safety certificate?
Yes — landlords can combine both in our Landlord bundle and save.
Landlord gas safety (CP12)
Is a gas safety certificate a legal requirement?
Yes. Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, landlords must have gas appliances checked every 12 months and give tenants a copy of the record.
How much does a CP12 cost?
£59 for the first appliance and £15 for each extra appliance.
What happens if something fails?
We explain the problem, make it safe and give you a fixed price to fix it — often on the same visit.
Radiators & central heating
Why is my radiator cold at the bottom?
Usually sludge in the system. A power flush clears it and brings back full heat.
Why is my radiator cold at the top?
Trapped air. Bleeding the radiator usually fixes it — we’re happy to show you how.
Can you move a radiator?
Yes — we can relocate radiators and alter pipework, including during a kitchen or bathroom refit.
Power flush
How long does a power flush take?
Most homes take 5 to 8 hours, depending on the number of radiators.
Will it make a difference?
Yes — most customers notice hotter radiators straight away, and a clean system uses less gas.
How much is a power flush?
£349 for up to 10 radiators.
Plumbing & leaks
What should I do if a pipe bursts?
Turn off the water at the stopcock (usually under the kitchen sink), switch off electrics near the leak and call our emergency line straight away.
How much do you charge?
Standard labour is £65 for the first hour, then £50 an hour. You always get the price before we start.
Do you do bathroom plumbing?
Yes — we handle all the plumbing for bathroom refits. Ask us for a quote.
Bathroom plumbing
Do you do full bathroom refits?
No — we do the plumbing only. If you’re having a refit, we can work alongside your tiler or fitter.
Can you come for a small job?
Yes. No job is too small — a dripping tap is worth fixing before it wastes water or causes damage.
Gas cookers & fires
Can I connect a gas cooker myself?
No — by law gas appliances must be connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
How often should a gas fire be serviced?
Once a year, like your boiler. It keeps it safe and catches carbon monoxide risks early.
Gas pipework
I can smell gas — what should I do?
Leave the property, don’t use electrical switches and call the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999 immediately. Once it’s safe, we can find and fix the leak.
Can you connect my new cooker?
Yes. Gas cooker connection starts at £75, including a safety check.
Why must I use a Gas Safe engineer?
It’s the law — only Gas Safe registered engineers may work on gas appliances and pipework in the UK.
