- Boiler make, model, output (kW), and energy efficiency rating
- Labour costs for removal of the old boiler and installation of the new one
- New flue if required, including any specialist fittings
- System flush or chemical clean if the existing system contains sludge
- Magnetic filter if one is not already fitted
- New controls (programmer, room thermostat, or smart thermostat)
- Building Regulations notification fee
- Warranty terms — duration and what is covered for parts and labour
Emergency Heating — What to Do When Your Boiler Breaks Down
Check the basics first: ensure the boiler has power, check that the gas supply is on, and look at the pressure gauge (most combi boilers operate between 1 and 1.5 bar). If the pressure is low, you may be able to re-pressurise via the filling loop — instructions are usually on the boiler casing. If the boiler displays a fault code, note it down before calling an engineer, as it will help with diagnosis.
Condensing boilers produce condensate (slightly acidic water) which drains away through a plastic pipe, often running outside. In freezing temperatures, this pipe can freeze solid, causing the boiler to lock out. The fix is usually to thaw the pipe with warm (not boiling) water and then reset the boiler. Your engineer can also lag the pipe to prevent recurrence.
If you smell gas, do not operate any electrical switches (on or off), do not use a mobile phone inside, and do not light any flames. Open windows and doors to ventilate the property, then leave and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 from outside or from a neighbour's property. Do not re-enter until the emergency service has declared it safe.
Many do, though availability varies by engineer and time of year. During cold snaps in winter, emergency heating engineers in Covington can be heavily booked. Submitting a request through our service reaches multiple engineers simultaneously, improving your chances of finding one who can attend quickly.
Yes — absolutely. Carbon monoxide (CO) is odourless and colourless and can be produced by any gas, oil, or solid fuel appliance that is not burning correctly. CO detectors are inexpensive and can save lives. Since October 2022, Building Regulations require CO alarms to be installed in all rooms containing a gas boiler in new and replacement boiler installations in England. Many engineers will fit one as a matter of course — ask yours to do so if one is not already present.
