Plumber & heating engineer in Bridge of Don

North of the river, the estates of Bridge of Don, Danestone, Middleton Park and Jesmond were mostly built in the 1970s to 1990s. That means a lot of original boilers reaching the end of their life, and that is where we come in.

Local knowledge

What we see in Bridge of Don homes

  • 01

    Boilers from the 1990s building boom

    Many homes here still have the first boiler the builder fitted, often in a kitchen cupboard or garage. Replacement parts are getting scarce, so a combi swap is often better value than another repair.

  • 02

    Exposed to the coastal wind

    Streets towards Murcar and the beach take the full force of the wind off the North Sea, which can blow out older balanced flues and freeze condensate pipes on gable walls.

  • 03

    Loft conversions and en suites

    Families extending upwards often need a bigger boiler or an unvented cylinder to run a second shower. We size it properly so the top-floor shower still has pressure.

Is it worth repairing a 25-year-old boiler in Bridge of Don?

Sometimes, for a cheap part. But if parts are obsolete or it has failed more than once this year, a new A-rated combi usually pays back through lower gas bills and fewer call-outs.

How much does a new boiler cost in Aberdeen?

Most like-for-like combi boiler swaps in Aberdeen come in between £2,195 and £2,850 fitted, including the flue, magnetic filter, smart thermostat and a chemical flush. Converting from a hot water cylinder to a combi is usually £3,100 to £4,200, and a system boiler with a new unvented cylinder is £3,600 to £4,900. We give a fixed written price after a free survey, so the number you see is the number you pay.

Do you offer same-day call-outs?

Yes. If you call before 2pm on a weekday we can usually have an engineer with you the same day, and genuine emergencies (no heating for a vulnerable person, a burst pipe or a suspected gas leak after you have called the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999) are answered 24 hours a day. Typical arrival in the city is 45 to 90 minutes.
