Boiler installations and replacements, done properly
A boiler rarely fails without warning. Frequent breakdowns, rising gas bills, strange banging or whistling, a pilot light that keeps going out, or leaks around the casing all point towards replacement. So does a boiler that's too old to get parts for. If your repair bill is starting to rival the cost of a new unit, replacing it is usually the sensible move.
The right boiler depends on your home. A combi heats water on demand and suits most flats and smaller houses with one or two bathrooms. A system boiler works with a hot water cylinder and copes better with several bathrooms. A regular (heat-only) boiler suits older homes with a tank in the loft and an existing cylinder. We'll talk you through the options, including size and efficiency, and recommend what fits your property rather than what's easiest to fit.
If your boiler has stopped working altogether, Plumbtap can advise on repair or replacement. We're based in Bristol and offer a free quote.
Everything covered, from removal to handover
Survey and written quote
We check your existing pipework, flue route and heating needs, then give you a free quote that explains what's included.
Safe removal and fitting
The old boiler is disconnected and taken away. The new one is fitted to the manufacturer's instructions, including the flue and condensate pipe.
System flush and protection
We clean out sludge from the heating system and add inhibitor, so old debris doesn't damage your new boiler. A magnetic filter is the usual recommendation.
Controls and commissioning
We set up the boiler, test every safety function and show you how to use your thermostat and programmer. Smart controls are an option if you'd like them.

Boiler replacement questions, answered
How much does a new boiler cost?
It depends on the boiler type and output, the controls you choose, the flue route, and whether the system needs extra work such as new pipework or a cylinder. We give a free quote after looking at your home, so you know the price before work begins.
How long does installation take?
A like-for-like combi swap is often done in a day. Moving the boiler, converting from a regular to a combi, or adding a cylinder will take longer. We'll confirm the time when we quote.
Which type of boiler do I need?
A combi suits many smaller homes. A system boiler is better where several bathrooms are used at once. A regular boiler suits homes with an existing tank and cylinder. The number of bathrooms, water pressure and available space all matter.
Do you need to be Gas Safe registered to fit a boiler?
Yes. By law, anyone working on gas appliances must be on the Gas Safe Register. We are Gas Safe registered, and you can ask to see our ID card.
Will you flush my heating system?
Yes. Sludge and debris in old radiators can damage a new boiler, so we clean the system and add protection as part of the job. A magnetic filter helps keep it clean over time.
What should I do after the new boiler is installed?
Register the warranty if the manufacturer requires it, and have the boiler serviced once a year to keep it running well. Fit a carbon monoxide alarm if you don't already have one, and keep an eye on the pressure gauge.
