Boiler Installation & Gas Engineers in Borehamwood
We cover the whole of Borehamwood and Elstree, fitting new boilers, repairing breakdowns, servicing boilers and carrying out gas safety checks, with plumbing and central heating work alongside.
Heating in Borehamwood homes
Much of Borehamwood was built after the war, when large housing estates were added to the town, so a lot of homes are post-war houses and maisonettes, alongside newer flats and developments. Many older systems here were upgraded piecemeal over the years.
That often means original pipework, a mix of old and newer radiators, and sludge built up in the system. When we replace a boiler in an older Borehamwood home, we look at the whole system, and usually recommend a flush and a magnetic filter so the new boiler isn't damaged by old debris.
Hard water in Borehamwood
Borehamwood's water, supplied by Affinity Water, is hard too, so limescale is a regular cause of boiler faults and poor hot water flow. Building regulations guidance asks for scale protection on the hot water side of a new combi boiler where water hardness is above 200 ppm, so we fit a limescale reducer as standard on combi installs here.

Borehamwood Questions, Answered
Do you cover Elstree as well as Borehamwood?
Yes. We cover all of the WD6 area, including Elstree, and the surrounding villages such as Radlett, Shenley and Aldenham.
Do I need a system flush with a new boiler in an older Borehamwood home?
Usually, yes. Older systems often carry sludge that can damage a new boiler and affect its warranty, so we recommend a flush and a magnetic filter when replacing a boiler on an older system.
Can you give me a quote for a new boiler in Borehamwood without visiting?
Often, yes. Send us photos of your current boiler, pipework and flue and we can usually give you a free estimate. Bigger changes, such as moving the boiler, need a site survey.
