Send your request in London in one go, and you decide yourself whether to go ahead. A request costs nothing.
There is no fixed figure we can quote here, since every heating engineer prices a boiler installation differently depending on the job. What affects the price includes the type of boiler being fitted, whether pipework needs moving, access to the property, and the time of year the work is booked. A straightforward swap in a flat in London is usually simpler than a full system change in an older house. The only reliable way to understand likely costs is to describe your job and let a heating engineer assess it directly. Comparing more than one written quote helps you see what is reasonable for your particular property and situation.
This depends on the job. Many heating engineer tasks, such as servicing or repairs, do not usually need separate approval, while installing a new boiler, heat pump or altering a flue often falls under building regulations. Gas work also needs to be carried out by someone competent to handle it safely. Because rules vary by property and by the type of work, it is sensible to ask the heating engineer directly what applies to your job, and to check with the local council (planning or building control) if you are unsure. Never assume a job is exempt without confirming first.
Most jobs start with a description of what you need, whether that is a new radiator, a boiler service or a full central heating installation. A heating engineer will usually want to see the property, or at least understand the layout and existing system, before giving a firm price and timescale. From there, work is scheduled around materials and access. Servicing and gas safety checks tend to be quicker visits, while installations or power flushing take longer and may need more than one visit. Asking for a clear written quote beforehand, covering labour, materials and any disruption, helps avoid confusion once work begins in your home in London.
Before agreeing to any work, it helps to look at reviews where available, ask whether the heating engineer holds suitable insurance, and request a written quote rather than a verbal estimate. It is also worth asking what the price includes, such as removal of old parts or making good after the job. When describing your request, be specific: mention the type of property, the age of the current system if known, and what you want done, whether that is a boiler repair, underfloor heating or a smart thermostat fitted. Clear details help a heating engineer give you a more accurate and comparable quote.
Yes. The service is free for anyone in London looking to compare options for heating work, whether that is a homeowner, a landlord, a letting agent or a business. Connected companies pay to be listed on the service, which is how it is funded, but this does not affect what you pay for the work itself. You simply describe the job once and decide for yourself whether to proceed, without any pressure to commit to anything.
No. Submitting a request is entirely voluntary and does not commit you to hiring anyone or paying any fee.

There is no contract formed by sending a request, and no payment is taken at any stage of the process. Think of it as a starting point for comparing options at your own pace, with the choice always resting entirely with you and nobody else.
You describe the job, for example a new boiler, a boiler repair, a service or new radiators, and tell us when it would suit you. The request goes to the independent local heating engineers in London that have joined Heating Engineer Quotes. They can send you a quote.
