Why choose us for boiler installs in Hockerill
When you book us for boiler installations in Bishop's Stortford, you get a real, named engineer turning up — not a sub-contractor.
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.
Fixed prices in writing before any work starts. The number you agree is the number you pay.

- New-build combi boilers approaching first major service interval
