Boiler Installation Portishead

Often, yes. Those first-fit boilers are well into their teens or older, and by then a run of fault codes can cost more than a boiler replacement. We'll check the flue route and any management company rules, then give a fixed price. If yours still has decent life in it, we'll say so.

For anything that goes through the outside wall, such as a new flue, you usually need the managing agent's agreement. A like-for-like swap in the same spot tends to be simpler. Check your lease first. We can supply what agents normally ask for: make, model, flue position and proof of Gas Safe registration.

Yes. The original layouts in the Nore Road period houses rarely suit a modern boiler, so moving it into a utility, loft or garage is a common request. Longer pipe and flue runs add to the job, and our page on boiler relocation explains what affects the price.

We'd strongly recommend one. The local supply is hard, and limestone scale builds up fastest in the hot water side of a combi, which is where most early failures start. A scale reducer on the incoming main is a small part of the price. Some manufacturers also set water treatment conditions for their warranty, and we fit to those.

Not usually. Old steel radiators often work fine once the system is cleaned and a filter is fitted. We check each one for cold spots at the bottom, which points to sludge, and for pinholes or rust at the seams. Only the ones that fail those checks get priced for replacement.
