The Problem
We recently attended a property on Belgrave Terrace in Glasgow as the homeowner had been experiencing flooding in her guest bedroom. It was found that this issue was being caused by an old and faulty boiler situated in this room, specifically in relation to the expansion valve which had been incorrectly replaced and installed by the previous tenant. The client required removal of the existing appliance and installation of a new and updated system.
The Solution
We visited the property and located the boiler in the cupboard of the guest bedroom and assessed the necessary work which was to remove the boiler and install a new one for the client. This appeared to be a simple install; however, on the day of the works, we identified that some external cabling may need to be adjusted to allow for a successful installation of the client’s new heating system.
In the end, we were able to install the boiler without any external work and successfully removed the existing boiler and installed a BAXI Platinum Compact boiler, with a 10-year manufacturers’ warranty. We completed all necessary checks and installed a new CO alarm for the client.
The Outcome
The client was delighted with the new install after experiencing a prolonged period of time without a reliable hot water or heating source due to the temperamental nature of the existing boiler.
To conclude, we removed the client’s existing Vokera boiler and flue, supplied and fitted a BAXI Platinum Compact boiler with 10 years parts and labour warranty. We also supplied and fitted a magnetic filter for system protection, a Hive Mini Active heating thermostat, and changed the boiler plug to a fused spur socket. We installed new condensate pipework to the external down pipe, and filled, tested, and commissioned the new boiler, and installed a new CO alarm. The client was also provided with a gas safety certificate for her new boiler and 1 year workmanship guarantee.
The client was also incredibly impressed with how we left her property how we found it, removed all rubbished, and cleaned up any mess to a high standard.
