Gas Engineer in Coatbridge & Airdrie: Back Boilers and Beyond

What back boiler removal actually involves

It is not a straight swap. The old appliance comes out of the fireplace, the chimney is capped and ventilated correctly, the opening is made good, and the new boiler is sited where it can be serviced easily — usually the kitchen or a hall cupboard. The gas supply is almost always upgraded at the same time.

• Remove back boiler and gas fire, cap and vent the flue
• Make good the fireplace opening
• Upgrade the gas run from the meter where it is 15mm
• Reposition the boiler for future serviceability
• Power flush the original pipework and fit a magnetic filter

Other gas work across ML5 and ML6

Cooker and hob connections, gas fire safety checks, appliance relocations, tightness testing after a suspected leak, and pipework upgrades where a modern appliance is starved of pressure. Every job finishes with written documentation you can pass to an insurer or letting agent.

Suspected gas leak? Do this first

Turn the gas off at the meter, open windows, do not touch electrical switches, leave the property and call the national gas emergency line on 0800 111 999. Once the supply is made safe, we attend across Coatbridge and Airdrie to pressure test the installation, trace the escape and repair it properly rather than simply capping the appliance.
