FAQs
What commercial boiler-room services do you provide in Bristol?
We handle the full lifecycle of a commercial boiler-room installation. That includes design and heat-load calculations, supply & installation of high-efficiency boilers, pressurisation units, pumps, controls and flues, as well as pipework fabrication, lagging and commissioning. We also provide remedial repairs, upgrades, compliance testing (gas safety, WRAS, Legionella) and routine servicing for all makes and models of commercial boilers used in offices, schools, factories, hospitality venues and district-heating schemes throughout Bristol.
How fast can you respond to an emergency boiler breakdown at my premises?
Our Bristol rapid-response team operates 24/7/365 with GPS-tracked vans stocked with the most common commercial spares. For sites inside the Bristol ring road we normally arrive within one hour; for Greater Bristol (Portishead, Clevedon, Keynsham, Yate, etc.) it is typically 90 minutes. Once on site we diagnose the fault, provide a quotation, and—where parts are available—aim to restore heat and hot water during the first visit.
Are your engineers qualified to work on commercial gas and LPG boilers?
Yes. All engineers hold current Gas Safe Registration for commercial gas (codes COCN1, CIGA1, ICPN1, TPCP1A) and LPG where required. They are also accredited by leading manufacturers such as Vaillant, Ideal and Hamworthy, which means any work we carry out keeps your boiler warranty intact. In addition, our team holds City & Guilds plumbing qualifications, CSCS cards for construction sites, and is fully insured with £10 million public liability cover.
Can you help improve the energy efficiency of my existing boiler room?
Absolutely. We offer energy audits that examine boiler combustion performance, control strategies and pipework insulation. Common upgrades include installing weather-compensated controls, variable-speed pump sets, plate heat exchangers for zoned systems, and replacing atmospheric burners with condensing units. Customers in Bristol have seen gas savings of 15–35 % and rapid paybacks of 1–3 years. We also manage applications for any available government or manufacturer rebates.
Do you offer planned preventative maintenance (PPM) contracts for commercial clients?
Yes. Our PPM packages are tailored to the size and complexity of your plant. Options range from annual statutory gas safety checks to quarterly or monthly visits covering burner efficiency tests, water-quality monitoring, pressurisation checks and BMS trend analysis. Each contract includes digital service records, priority call-out and discounted labour rates. Regular maintenance not only prolongs equipment life but also keeps you compliant with British Standards and insurance requirements.
What areas around Bristol do you cover and is there a call-out charge?
We cover the entire BS postcode area as well as Bath, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire and the M4/M5 corridor up to 30 miles from central Bristol. There is no call-out fee for clients on a PPM contract. For ad-hoc emergencies we charge a fixed attendance fee that includes the first hour on site; additional time and parts are quoted before work proceeds, so you always know the costs upfront.
