What Affects the Cost?
The price of a gas boiler installation in South Wales varies depending on a few key factors. These don’t just affect the upfront price — they also influence how long the job takes and what materials are required.

Different boilers require different service times:

2. Boiler Condition
Service may take longer if:
-
Boiler is heavily sooted
-

Condensate trap is blocked

Signs of poor installation appear
(No extra labour charge — but good to explain.)
3. Access & Location
Difficult or tight installations may take slightly longer.

Sometimes a service identifies:

electrodes needing replacement
-
seals that are worn
