When replacement may be worth discussing
A repair is not always the best long-term answer. Where age, condition, recurring faults or parts availability make replacement more practical, we can discuss an appropriately sized new Ideal boiler and the available manufacturer warranty.
Derby areas covered
We regularly work throughout Derby, including Mickleover, Littleover, Allestree, Oakwood, Chaddesden, Spondon, Chellaston, Sinfin and Shelton Lock. Send your postcode to confirm availability.
