Our Plumbing & Heating Engineers Answer Gloucester’s Questions
How often should I invest in boiler servicing?
Regular boiler servicing is essential to ensure your system is running efficiently and safely. We recommend annual boiler servicing to all homeowners in Gloucester. This helps to prevent potential breakdowns, reduce energy consumption, and prolong the life of your boiler. During boiler servicing, our plumbing and heating engineers thoroughly inspect the unit, clean key components, and check for any signs of wear or damage. An annual service ensures your boiler complies with warranty requirements and maintains peak performance.
When do clients know it’s time for boiler replacements?
Boiler replacements become necessary when your current unit is no longer cost-effective to repair or maintain. If your boiler is over 10-15 years old, requires frequent boiler repairs, or struggles to meet your heating demands, it may be time to consider a replacement. A new, energy-efficient model installed by our Gloucester plumbing and heating engineers can significantly reduce your energy bills and provide more reliable heating.

What are some common boiler repairs your plumbing and heating engineers take on?
Our team frequently handles various boiler repairs, such as fixing low boiler pressure, repairing faulty thermostats, addressing leaks, and replacing broken components like pumps or valves. We also resolve issues related to unusual noises, which often indicate air in the system or kettling from limescale buildup. Boiler repairs should be addressed promptly to prevent small issues from escalating into costly problems.
What steps are involved in a gas safety check?
A gas safety check involves inspecting all gas appliances, including your boiler, to ensure they are functioning correctly and safely. Our plumbing and heating engineers will check for gas leaks, test gas pressure, and examine ventilation. We also ensure the safety devices in your boiler, such as the thermostat and flue, are working properly. A gas safety check is crucial for both safety and compliance with legal requirements, particularly for Gloucester landlords.
What are some key considerations when investing in new central heating installations?
When planning central heating installations, it’s important to consider the size of your property, the energy efficiency of the system, and future heating demands. Our Gloucester plumbing and heating engineers can help you choose a system that is both cost-effective and environmentally friendly. We install modern, energy-efficient boilers and radiators that ensure optimal performance and long-term savings on your energy bills.
