Gas Safe registered. No subcontractors. No hidden extras. No Cancellations. A local engineer who shows you their card before they say a word about price.
We survey your property in person before we quote. We name the boiler, list every component, and show the VAT-inclusive total before anyone touches a single pipe. No extras added on the day.
You shouldn't have to chase a boiler quote like it's a favour.
You ring. No answer. You email. Nothing. You try again. Finally someone picks up — and then never shows up.That's not bad luck. That's the norm now.One homeowner put it plainly: "It's so hard to get a contractor. Ring, no answer. Email, no answer. Ring more times, finally get answer, never shows up and ghosts you."Another paid for a brand new Worcester Bosch, watched the installer pocket the money, promise the annual service — and disappear.
Three years later, the 10-year warranty was void. Gone. Because the service was never done.And British Gas?
"British Gas quoted me £6k when my boiler went down. I got a local guy to do it for £1,500. Like for like." They know exactly when you're desperate. They price accordingly.You're not being paranoid.
The residential heating industry really has turned into this.
You deserve a Gas Safe engineer who shows up when they say they will, quotes you honestly, and registers your warranty before they leave.
That's what we do. Every time.
Here is what happens when you book with us — from the moment you call to the morning we leave your house.

No photos, no guesswork, no showing up and discovering the gas pipe is the wrong size. We lift the floorboard, check the pipework, and confirm exactly what the job involves before we name a number.
Boiler brand, model, output, flue kit, system flush, magnetic filter, inhibitor, controls, warranty registration. Every component named. Every cost shown. The number on the quote is the number on the invoice.
Before we leave, we hand you the Gas Safe certificate, the warranty documentation, and a service record card with our number on it. And we book the first annual service before we walk out the door — because that service is what keeps your 10-year warranty alive.
Not a call centre. Not a subcontractor. The same engineer who fitted your boiler.
Every installation includes a system power flush, magnetic filter, inhibitor treatment, Gas Safe certificate, and manufacturer warranty registration. These are not optional extras — they are what a proper job looks like.
Worcester Bosch and Vaillant our first recommendation for most UK homes. Fitted in a day. 10-year warranty registered on the day.
If your property has a hot water cylinder and you want to keep it, we replace like-for-like or advise on conversion. We explain what suits your house, not what suits our margin.
Moving the boiler to a more convenient location? We assess the pipework, flue route, and gas supply before we confirm it is feasible — and before we quote.
For customers we install for, priority booking and a fixed annual service fee. Your warranty depends on it. We make it easy to keep.
Not star ratings. Specific outcomes — the brand fitted, the price paid, what happened when something came up.
Prices vary by boiler size, property type, and what the installation involves. Here is what a standard replacement costs — and what it includes.
Most straightforward combi boiler replacements in a 3-bedroom UK home fall between **£2,500 and £3,800 all-in**, including the boiler, installation, system flush, filter, flue, Gas Safe certificate, and manufacturer warranty registration. VAT is included in every price we quote — not added at the end.
British Gas and national companies typically quote £4,000–£5,500 for the same job. Online platforms quote lower — but they quote from photos, use subcontractors they have never met, and when something unexpected comes up, they leave. We have seen this happen to homeowners more than once.
If a quote looks very cheap, ask what is included. If it does not name the boiler model and list every component, the number is not a real quote — it is an opening bid.
We wrote this section because the best homeowners in this market are the ones who know exactly what to ask. Here are the questions that separate a trustworthy engineer from one who is not.
The homeowners who are sitting in a freezing house in January, ringing round and getting told the earliest available engineer is next Thursday, are the ones who knew their boiler was struggling and put off sorting it.
You don't know cold until you have to go several days without a boiler in winter. It is nothing like coming into a cold house because the heating hasn't been on all day.
Installation slots fill from October onward. Homeowners who book a survey now choose their install date on their own terms, in daylight hours, without a broken boiler forcing a rushed decision. Homeowners who wait until January join a queue — and pay whatever they are quoted, because they have no time to compare.
The survey is free. There is no obligation. It takes one visit to find out exactly what you are looking at and what it costs.
We visit. We assess the job. We give you a written, itemised quote with every cost shown inclusive of VAT. You decide what to do next.
The survey takes around 30–45 minutes. We check the boiler position, pipework, gas supply, and flue route before we quote — so the number we give you is the number you pay. We recommend the boiler that suits your property, not the one that suits our margin.
Most customers receive their written quote within 24 hours of the survey.
