Frequently Asked Questions

Everything homeowners usually want to know before booking — boilers, heat pumps, underfloor heating and bathrooms.

Boiler Installations

How long does a boiler installation take?+

A like-for-like combi swap is usually completed in a single day. A full system upgrade, relocation or conversion (e.g. regular to combi) typically takes 2–3 days. We'll give you a clear timeline in your quote.

How much does a new boiler cost?+

Most domestic boiler installations fall between £2,200 and £4,500 depending on the make, model, controls and any system upgrades. We'll give you a fixed written price after a free site visit — no surprises.

What warranty will I get on my new boiler?+

As Vaillant Advanced Installers we can offer extended manufacturer warranties of up to 12 years on Vaillant boilers. Other brands typically come with 7–10 year warranties.

Do you install all makes of boiler?+

Yes — Vaillant, Worcester Bosch, Ideal, Baxi and more. We'll recommend the best fit for your home, budget and hot water demand.

Will you remove my old boiler?+

Yes. We remove and responsibly dispose of your old boiler and any redundant pipework, and leave the area clean and tidy.

Air Source Heat Pumps

Am I eligible for the £7,500 Home Energy Scotland Grant?+

Most Scottish homeowners installing an air source heat pump qualify for the Home Energy Scotland Grant & Loan, which can cover up to £7,500 (plus an optional interest-free loan). We'll guide you through the application as part of your quote.

Will a heat pump actually keep my home warm in a Scottish winter?+

Yes — modern air source heat pumps are designed to operate efficiently down to around -15°C. We size and design every system specifically for your property and Scottish climate conditions.

Are heat pumps noisy?+

Modern units are very quiet — typically around 40–45 dB at a few metres, similar to a quiet fridge. We'll position the outdoor unit sensibly to minimise any noise.

Do I need to replace my radiators?+

Sometimes. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so larger radiators or underfloor heating give the best efficiency. We'll assess this during the design and include any upgrades in your quote.

How long does a heat pump installation take?+

Most installations take 3–5 days on site, plus the design and grant paperwork beforehand. We handle the full process, including MCS certification.

Underfloor Heating

Can underfloor heating be retrofitted to an existing home?+

Yes — we install both screed and low-profile overlay systems suitable for existing floors. We'll recommend the best option based on floor build-up and disruption.

Does underfloor heating work with a heat pump?+

It's an ideal pairing. Underfloor heating runs at lower flow temperatures, which is exactly where heat pumps are most efficient.

Can I have underfloor heating in just one room?+

Absolutely — single-room loops (kitchens, bathrooms, extensions) are a popular choice and easily integrated into your existing system.

What flooring can I use over underfloor heating?+

Tile and stone perform best, but engineered wood, vinyl and most carpets (with the right tog rating) all work well. We'll advise on suitable finishes.

How long does underfloor heating take to install?+

A single-room retrofit is typically 1–2 days. Whole-house systems for new builds or extensions usually take 3–5 days, plus screed drying time where applicable.

Bathroom Installations

Do you supply the bathroom or do I buy it?+

Either works — we can supply the full suite, tiles and fittings through our trade suppliers (often at better prices), or fit a bathroom you've sourced yourself.

How long does a full bathroom installation take?+

A typical full bathroom refit takes 7–10 working days from strip-out to finish, including tiling. Wet rooms and en-suites may take a little longer depending on complexity.

Will I be without a bathroom the whole time?+

If it's your only bathroom we'll plan the schedule to minimise downtime — typically you'll have water and a working WC most evenings.

Do you handle the tiling, electrics and plastering too?+

Yes — we project-manage the whole job with our trusted trades, so you only ever deal with one team from start to finish.

Can you design the bathroom for me?+

Yes — we'll help with layout, suite selection and finishes as part of the quote, with no obligation to proceed.
