New boilers in Leicestershire
Market towns, coalfield estates and a large modern housing stock — three different jobs. Fifteen questions, ninety seconds, and a real number — fitted by our own Gas Safe engineers — as soon as the next working day, and usually inside a week.
Start with your postcode. Leicestershire is inside our area, so you will go straight through.
The housing here
Leicestershire runs from the protected Georgian centres of Market Harborough and Ashby-de-la-Zouch, through the Victorian terraced towns of Hinckley, Loughborough and Coalville, to very large volumes of recent estate development around Leicester and along the M1 corridor.
The water here is hard — limestone country. Scale is the main thing that kills a combi's plate heat exchanger, and an in-line scale reducer at seventy-five pounds is the cheapest insurance you can buy on a boiler you want to keep for fifteen years.
What that means for your boiler
Not a template. This is drawn from what the housing stock here is actually made of.
Terraces are where we still find the most back boilers. The chimney breast made them easy to fit in 1978 and awkward to remove now — the boiler has to come out of the fireplace opening and the flue has to find a new route through an outside wall. It is two days rather than one, and our quote adds that as its own visible line rather than burying it.
Bigger radiator circuits and more often two bathrooms, which is where combi sizing starts to matter. If both bathrooms genuinely get used at once, our quote will point you at a system boiler and a cylinder rather than sell you a large combi that will still disappoint you.
Typically a builder-grade combi around ten to fifteen years old, on an outside kitchen or utility wall. The swap itself is easy. The thing worth spending money on here is the boiler rather than the labour — you are replacing a cheap one, and it is worth not replacing it with another.
A mix of Georgian and Victorian frontages with later extensions behind. The boiler is often in a rear extension a long way from any outside wall, which is why we ask how far it is — anything beyond a metre of flue is priced openly on your quote.
What you get
Leicestershire questions
Next working day installation is available in Leicestershire wherever we have an engineer free, and most jobs go in inside a week. You pick the date yourself on screen rather than waiting for a callback, and the calendar only offers days we currently have an engineer for.
If you have no heating and no hot water at all, tell us on the phone. We hold capacity back for that and will get to you sooner.
We cover Leicestershire with our own Gas Safe registered engineers in our own vans. We are not a lead site and we do not sell your details to a local firm. That is precisely why our coverage area is twelve postcode areas rather than the whole country.
It is hard. We would suggest an in-line scale reducer at seventy-five pounds to protect the heat exchanger.
Yes. Fifteen questions, ninety seconds, and a real number you can buy at. Every answer you gave is printed next to the price so you can see exactly what it assumes.
The only two things we cannot price from a questionnaire are asbestos and scaffolding. Both are excluded in writing and both come with a full refund rather than a surprise bill.
Fifteen questions and a real fixed number. If we cannot reach your postcode you will know on screen one.
