The property
Old Town property realities
Old Town flats often sit above commercial premises, behind heavy close doors and up narrow stone stairs. Boiler cupboards can be tiny, gas runs can be long and the flue may need to go into a shared chimney or rear court.
Many flats are listed or in a conservation area, and some are short-term lets. We plan access, noise and waste removal around neighbours and businesses rather than assuming a clear run at the property.
Typical Old Town jobs
- Tenement combi replacement with a rear-court flue
- Flat above a shop with a long gas run and restricted parking
- Shared chimney flue check and liner before replacement
- Short-term-let boiler replacement with a hard handover deadline
Flue & access
Flues, closes and access
A flue into a rear court or existing chimney is common here. Shared stacks need careful checking for condition and for other appliances. Where a new route is needed, we look for the least visible option that still meets the manufacturer's instructions.
Parking and carry distance matter. We agree upfront where the van can stop, how long the carry is and whether stairs or a lift are involved.
Why we ask for photos
Photos of the boiler, the flue, the pipes underneath and the outside wall let us price the real job before you commit. It is faster than a sales visit and more accurate than a generic online quote.
If the route is unclear, we arrange a free 20-minute video or in-person check before locking the price.
