This can be to replace and existing gas boiler or to install a brand new system if you're replacing an electric set up. The boiler for you can be a little difficult to choose and I am here to give you free advice on that too. No obligation whatsoever.
In my opinion the top boilers around today are: Worcester Bosch, Vaillant or Viessmann
It can take up to 2 days to replace a combination boiler and up to a week to install an entire new gas central heating system.Repair any boiler whether it is leaking water or the boiler has stopped working altogether. Call me anytime and I will do my best to get your services up and running in no time...... I can repair all types and all makes of Gas boilers. The typical set up is a Combination boiler, and can be the easiest to fix.
Sometimes I will have to order parts yet quite often Plumbase (my usual supplier) will have the part in stock
However some boilers are more common than others and the parts are easier to obtain. Another factor is the age of your boiler.Having an annual service is paramount in this day and age. Insurance companies may be invalidated and you may miss out on the boilers manufacturers parts guarantee. An Annual service will also keep your boiler running more efficiently, safer and less likely to break down.
Some boilers take longer to service than others
It will typically take one and a half to two hours to service a boiler correctly as per the manufacturers Instructions.Every landlord or landlady has to have a valid CP12 (gas safe certificate) to legally rent out a property and possibly even just a room! Call me now to organise an appointment. Along with the Gas Safety why not service your boiler at the same time; it will save you money....
It's a legal requirement to have a yearly Gas Safety Certificate
Get your Gas Safe engineer Greg Zapper to check your property now.To flush the full system is a worthwhile job and will allow your boiler to work more efficiently and last longer. Every new boiler install (new building regulations) has to have a chemical clean and mains water flush.
Keep your system clean
After the flush (either with a new boiler install or cleaning a current set up) a magnetic filter is recommended to keep the system clean. Chemical Inhibitor is also added to the water in the system to keep the rust at bay.Whether your boilers leaking or one of your radiators, give me a call to sort out the issue. I am your local Heating Engineer and general plumber in Brighton and Hove and the surrounding area.
Here for you 24/7
I do my best to answer the phone although sometimes this is not going to happen as I may be looking under the floorboards or stuck behind a washing machine fixing a leak. Please leave a voice message or better still a text.
This can be from fixing a dripping tap to installing a shower. Install a brand new kitchen sink to changing a washer in the utility room.
Plumbing work too
Yes, I can also install a new kitchen sink and fit an outside tap for the gardening.Yes, any leaks on the radiator system can be fixed, sometimes a radiator may need to be replaced if rust has got to it, a pin hole in the metal or you would like a fresher looking room.
Radiator replacement
Any water or gas leak can be fixed for that matter; a leak under the sink, in the bathroom. A dripping tap in the toilet.Greg is a competent and reliable plumber, and overall, a nice guy. Our boiler failed. I searched for local gas boiler installers online and his name came up with sterling reviews. I texted him and he replied promptly that he would come take a look later in the day and give a quote. His quote was reasonable and he re-arranged some jobs to spend a day and a half replacing the boiler. Job well done, and he is likely our go-to plumber for future work. Vikram Pathania

Our central heating and hot water went this weekend. What I feared was a leak in the pipework somewhere so when Greg came over, best I was hoping for was confirmation the boiler was ok and the leak was identified under the floorboards. What we got was good humoured persistence, as at every blind alley meant Greg simply looked elsewhere until he found the problem: an unused drain point hidden behind some stud partition that had somehow loosened and was flowing pretty freely. It would have been so easy for Greg to have said it was impossible to find without tearing up boards and engineered wood floor. Steve Hearsum

Greg is possibly the best plumber in the world, and one of the nicest people I've ever met. He has helped me many times over the years and always finds the solution to problems others couldn't or wouldn't look at. His rates are really cheap for the quality of work and service he provides - he manages this by problem-solving and doing the work in a fraction of the time others would take. Fast, prompt, very fair prices - I recommend him to everyone who asks 'Do you know a good plumber?' So glad I found him. Yvonne Luna
