SIMP can certainly help but based on your fuel type it's impossible to estimate online therefore a home survey is required.
At SIMP we like to get things right and our reputation matters. We don't overcharge and you'll never speak to a salesman. With a quick and easy home survey at your convenience one of our engineers will be able to accurately price your central heating system. Once our engineer has completed his survey he will report back to the main office with his recommendation and a list of products he will require to complete the work. We will then send you a link to our proposal via SMS or email for you to look over, pressure free, before committing to the work.

Are you in receipt of any of the following benefits?
Based on your answer to the previous question you don't qualify for an ECO Boiler Grant.
However, we do have other options available at SIMP and one of our engineers would be happy to find the best package for you:
We just need a little bit more information before we can arrange an ECO home survey.
We to arrange a home survey at your convenience to calculate the carbon saving used to determine your eligible grant amount. We'll input the figures and notify you how much, up to 100%, you can claim towards a new A rated boiler.
Please give us a little bit info and how you'd like to be contacted and one of our repair team will be in touch shortly.

Gas Safe No: 593953
For the past 15 years it has been a legal requirement in the UK for all combination boilers to use condensing technology in order to increase a boilers efficiency and reduce carbon emissions.
During the condensing process existing heat in the flue gases is recycled back into the boiler to heat the water. While this happens the temperature of the gas drops significantly producing condensation which needs to be removed from the heating system. In order to remove it from the system a condensate pipe is used to transfer the waste water up to as much as 2 litres per hour.
Ideally the condensate pipe would be connected to the waste water system internally but sometimes this is not possible and it must exit through the wall externally. Condensate pipes that have to exit externally or run through cold garages can be subject to extreme cold or prolonged cold spells leaving them vulnerable to freezing
A condensate pipe is actually really easy to find as it will be the only plastic pipe (normally white or grey) exiting your boiler. This pipe will then either exit through the wall or internally to your waste water i.e. towards the kitchen sink or exiting with your washing machine. If it exits externally you will be able to locate it outside from your boiler.
Typically the pipe will be 22mm in diameter but may be 32mm when leaving externally. Increasing the size of the pipe externally helps to reduce the risk of freezing.
If your condensate pipe has frozen there will normally be an error code on the front of your boiler and possibly a gurgling sound coming from the boiler. Each manufacturers code is different so you will need to check the error code yours is showing: Boiler Guide have a great tool for locating your boiler and it’s error code.
Never attempt to open or remove your condensate pipe on your own. This pipe is part of your boiler’s gas flue system and should only be worked upon by a Gas Safe Engineer.
First of all we would always recommend contacting one of our Gas Safe Engineers and reporting your broken boiler.
That being said as long as you don’t attempt to remove or interfere with the condensate pipe except for the following method you will be perfectly safe:
1. Confirm via your error code your condensate pipe is frozen.
2. Locate your condensate pipe 3. Get some hot water by boiling the kettle and add some cold until the water is warm.
3. Hot water can crack the pipe so make sure you only use warm water.
4. Pour the water over the external pipe and keep doing so.
5. It will be very cold so the water will cool quickly. If you have a hot water bottle fill this with hot water and place on the pipe. 6. If not keep topping up and pouring the warm water until you eventually hear water trickling out of the pipe.
7. At this point you can begin resetting your boiler
