Frequently Asked Questions
A well-maintained gas boiler usually lasts between 10 to 15 years. Regular annual servicing, prompt repairs, and proper installation can help extend its lifespan. Factors such as usage levels, water quality, and the boiler brand also affect durability.
We provide a full range of plumbing services including leak detection and repair, burst pipe repairs, drain unblocking, bathroom and kitchen installations, boiler repairs, water heater installation, emergency plumbing, and routine maintenance for residential and commercial properties.
Signs of a hidden water leak include unusually high water bills, damp patches on walls or ceilings, low water pressure, mould growth, or the sound of running water when no taps are on. If you notice any of these issues, it’s best to call a professional plumber for an inspection.
It is recommended to service your boiler once a year to ensure it operates safely and efficiently. An annual boiler service helps identify potential issues before they turn into costly repairs, improves energy efficiency, and extends the lifespan of the system. Regular servicing is also important for maintaining the manufacturer’s warranty and ensuring your heating system complies with safety regulations.
Common signs include low water pressure, unusual noises from pipes or the boiler, slow-draining sinks, leaks, inconsistent heating, or no hot water. If you notice any of these problems, it’s important to contact a qualified plumber or heating engineer promptly. Early intervention can prevent more serious damage and reduce repair costs in the long run.
