  • Original fireplace back boilers still in many 1930s homes
  • Tree protection orders can affect external pipe and flue routing
  • Older systems with cast-iron radiators need careful flushing

Frequently asked questions — boiler repairs, Ivy Chimneys

Are you open right now?

We answer the phone from early morning until late evening on most days. Even outside hours, leave a message and we usually call back within a couple of hours for genuine emergencies.

Should I call a national 24/7 firm instead?

If you need someone literally on-site at 3am, the national chains have that. If you can wait a few hours, you'll usually get a better job, a fairer price and a real engineer by waiting for us.

Is it worth repairing an old boiler?

Honest answer: if it's over 12 years old and the repair is more than £400, replacement usually makes more financial sense. We'll lay out both options without pressure.

How fast can you come out?

We aim for same-day on no-heat and no-hot-water situations. Tell us when you call if anyone elderly or with young children is in the property — we prioritise.
