Not quite sure what you're looking for?
Here is a quick guide to the different types of boilers, and what makes each of them unique for Lockleaze properties:
Combi Boilers: Compact and space-saving, they heat water on demand, perfect for Lockleaze’s terraced homes and flats with moderate hot water use. Many properties in Romney Avenue and Dovercourt Road benefit from these efficient units. However, they struggle with multiple simultaneous showers and might be less efficient during Bristol’s colder winter months.
System Boilers: Ideal for larger Lockleaze homes with high hot water demand thanks to their hot water cylinder. Many of the semi-detached properties in Constable Road and Brangwyn Grove areas benefit from these systems. They are more efficient than combi boilers in Bristol’s varied climate but require more space due to the cylinder and can be more expensive to install.
Regular Boilers: Often the most affordable option, these are good replacements for older boilers without major system changes – perfect for Lockleaze’s post-war properties. They offer good hot water capacity with separate tanks but are the bulkiest option and less efficient than other types.

Getting a new boiler can be really daunting, we want you to be confident that L&P Heating Services are right for your Lockleaze home and really encourage you to see what our local customers are saying about us. Check our reviews on Google or Trust Pilot from Lockleaze and surrounding communities to know you’re in safe hands.
We’re here to make your new boiler installation as effortless and straightforward as possible. In many cases, we can give you an instant quote for your Lockleaze property, just by getting a few pictures of your existing installation.
If we need to take a closer look at your Lockleaze home’s specific setup, you can book a suitable time for us to pop by at a time that’s convenient for you for us to carry out a survey.
We will put together a quotation free of charge, detailing the scope of the works, and our recommendation on the best solution for your Lockleaze home, considering local water quality and pressure factors common in BS7. At this point, if there is anything you’re not quite sure on, let us know, we will be more than happy to explain in a little more detail.
Once you’re happy to proceed, pay the agreed deposit and our installation team will be with you on the agreed date to begin your installation.
What happens on the day of your installation?
We always aim to arrive at your Lockleaze property at the agreed time, usually 8am. The first thing our team will do is apply carpet protectors and cover surface areas with dust sheets to make sure your home is well looked after while we undertake the installation of your new boiler.
The water and gas will be isolated to allow us to remove your existing boiler. This does mean that for the duration of the installation, there will be no running water, so be sure to fill the kettle before we arrive.
Being environmentally conscious (something we know many Lockleaze residents value), we will take away all of the debris and packaging and recycle as much of it as possible, leaving your Lockleaze home just as neat and tidy as we found it, only a little cosier thanks to your new boiler.
Once your new boiler has been installed, we will complete the registration with Gas Safe / Oftec and with Worcester Bosch, shortly after you will receive your certificates. We’ll also provide specific advice on optimal settings for Bristol’s climate.
Frequently Asked Questions from Lockleaze Homeowners
Here are our frequently asked questions from local customers, find answers below or get in touch.
We aim to install your new boiler within 1-3 working days where possible, please be aware during exceptionally cold spells this can extend our lead times, but we always try to prioritise vulnerable customers.
For Lockleaze flats with 1-2 bedrooms, we typically recommend a combi boiler as they’re space-efficient and provide hot water on demand without needing a tank – perfect for the apartment-style properties in the area.
Most installations in Lockleaze homes are completed within a day, though some of the post-war properties might occasionally require additional time if system modifications are needed.
While boilers can last 10-15 years, many Lockleaze homes benefit from upgrading older systems due to Bristol’s variable climate and to take advantage of significant energy efficiency improvements in newer models, which is especially important in some of the older housing stock in the area.
We aim to get back to you within 24 hours.
