FAQs
What is included in a boiler service before you book?

What is an EICR and is it needed for heating work?

Provide the property type, system type, symptoms, number of radiators and any access limits. Photos can help if there are visible issues. Share the age of the property, access, and what you want to change so the Heating Engineer can plan the right approach.
