What actually happens during a free boiler installation survey? In short, one of our engineers visits your home, looks at your current setup and talks through your options before giving you an accurate quote tailored to your property, rather than a generic estimate.
Our online quote tool can give you a rough idea beforehand, but any figure is always subject to a proper survey. That’s where we can look at the details of your home and what the installation would actually involve.
Why a Survey Comes Before a Quote
We could give you a number over the phone, but it wouldn’t necessarily be a reliable one. Every home is different. Pipework, hot water demand, access and your existing boiler type can all affect what’s involved, and some of these things can only be properly assessed by seeing the property.
A survey means the quote you receive reflects your actual home and the work required, rather than a best guess.
What the Engineer Looks At During the Survey
A typical survey covers:
- Your current boiler, including its type, age and condition.
- Existing pipework and radiators, to work out what can be reused and whether anything may need changing.
- Hot water demand, such as how many bathrooms you have and whether they’re likely to be used at the same time.
- Access and location, including where the boiler currently sits and whether you’d like or need it to be moved.
- Your property type, since flats, tenements and older houses can each present different installation considerations.
How Long Does a Survey Take?
A survey is a fairly straightforward visit rather than a lengthy appointment. Exactly how long it takes will depend on your property and current heating setup.
Our engineer will take the time needed to properly assess the installation and answer your questions, rather than rushing through the visit.
What You’ll Get After the Survey
Once the survey is complete, you’ll get a clear quote along with an honest explanation of your options. In some cases, we may also discuss whether a boiler repair might make more sense than a full replacement.
If spreading the cost would help, we can also talk you through the finance and payment options available.
Do You Have to Book Straight Away?
No. The survey is about giving you the information you need, not pressuring you into making a decision on the spot.
As a family business, we’d rather you take the time to consider your options than feel rushed into booking a new boiler installation you’re not sure about.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the boiler survey really free with no obligation?
Yes. The survey is about giving you an accurate picture of your options and a proper quote, not committing you to anything. You’re free to think it over afterwards.
What should I have ready before the engineer visits?
Make sure there’s clear access to your current boiler. It also helps to know roughly how your household uses hot water, for example how many bathrooms you have and whether they’re regularly used at the same time.
Will I get my quote on the day of the survey?
In many cases, yes, although this can depend on the complexity of the installation. We’ll explain your options clearly during the survey and let you know when you can expect your written quote.
