From first call to handover — our boiler installs routine

We measure up, check radiator output, and confirm the gas pipe size is right — undersized supply pipes are the most common reason boilers underperform after install.
Quote & options
Two or three boiler options at different price points so you can pick what fits your budget.
Install
Old boiler removed, new one fitted, system flushed, controls set up. Usually a single day for a straight swap, two for a full system change.

Common questions about boiler installs in Ivy Chimneys
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.
How much does a new boiler cost fitted?▾
Most combi swaps run £2,200–£3,800 fitted depending on brand and any system upgrades. We give you a written fixed price after a free survey — no obligation.
