Overview
Central heating & radiators from a local Aberdeen team
Thick granite walls hold heat beautifully once they are warm, but they take a properly sized system to get there. We work out the heat loss room by room, then size radiators so every room reaches temperature without the boiler working flat out.
If some radiators are cold at the bottom or the far bedroom never warms up, the problem is usually sludge or poor balancing rather than the boiler. A powerflush and balance often transforms a system for a fraction of the price of replacing it.

FAQs
Central heating & radiators: your questions answered
How do I know if I need a powerflush?
Cold patches at the bottom of radiators, black water when you bleed them, a noisy boiler and slow warm-up are the classic signs. We can check with a quick test before recommending one.
Can you fit radiators in a granite tenement flat?
Yes, it is a big part of our work. We run pipes neatly under floorboards wherever possible and avoid chasing into original granite or cornicing.
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 cover Aberdeenshire as well as Aberdeen city?
Yes. Our engineers are based at Tarn Quay by the harbour and cover the whole of Aberdeen city plus Aberdeenshire out to Stonehaven in the south, Ellon in the north and Westhill and Echt to the west. Further afield, such as Banchory, Inverurie or Peterhead, we take planned work and will tell you honestly if an emergency is better served by someone closer.
