Learn moreWhat makes our boiler installs work different in Hockerill
Three things Bishop's Stortford customers tell us they value: we turn up when we say we will, we explain things in plain English, and we don't try to sell you anything you don't need.
Hard water in CM23 means we strongly recommend a magnetic filter and limescale inhibitor on every install — heat exchanger failures from scale are common after 4–5 years without one.
Everything we do is Gas Safe registered, fully insured, and backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
About Hockerill

Strong mix — Victorian terraces in the old centre, post-war housing in Thorley, and large new-build estates expanding north.
- New-build combi boilers approaching first major service interval

boiler installs in Hockerill: questions we get a lot
Where do boiler leaks usually come from?▾
Most common: pressure relief valve discharging because system pressure is too high, a perished pump seal, or a failing heat exchanger on older units. We diagnose properly rather than guess.
Should I turn the boiler off?▾
If water is actively dripping and you can see it pooling, yes — switch the boiler off at the spur, and turn the system pressure down via the filling loop if you can. Then call us.
How long does a boiler install take?▾
A straight combi swap is usually one day. A boiler relocation, conversion, or full system change is typically 1–3 days.
Which boiler brand do you recommend?▾
Worcester Bosch and Vaillant for long warranties and parts availability; Ideal Logic Max for budget-conscious installs. We'll explain trade-offs honestly.
