Boiler Services FAQs

Absolutely! A malfunctioning boiler constitutes an emergency, and it is crucial to contact us immediately to arrange for a repair. Delaying the repair could result in further heating problems, so swift action is necessary.

Some of the common signs of a broken boiler are: 

  • Loss of heating or hot water
  • The pilot light or flames are orange or yellow, which they should normally be blue.
  • High system water pressure instead of continuing at a steady pressure. 
  • Faulty valves, frozen pipes or blockages in the burner etc. 

Ableforce recommend servicing your boiler at least once a year to ensure its running properly and its heating safely. As part of a boiler service, our engineer will carefully open, examine and clean the primary components of the boiler to confirm they are functioning correctly and are free from any observable defects.

Drainage FAQs

If you’ve recently had your drains unclogged and are looking to prevent future blockages, here’s a list of items to avoid disposing of down the drain:

  • Hand/baby wipes
  • Sanitary products
  • Nappies
  • Cotton buds or pads
  • Coffee grounds
  • Hair
  • Grease, fats or oils
  • Conventional cleaning products

The initial indications of a blocked drain are often noticeable, with water draining slowly and toilets overflowing being the most prominent indicators. However, in some cases, the symptoms of blocked drains may be less apparent. For instance, you might detect an unpleasant odour, or hear gurgling noises. If you’re uncertain, it’s advisable to contact a professional like Ableforce, for a drainage survey.

For urgent drainage issues, we strive to resolve the problem within an hour. For non-emergency situations, we provide flexible booking slots that enable you to pick a time that is most convenient for you. The duration of drain unblocking and related services is dependent on the cause of the blockage.

In addition to this, typically, a CCTV drain survey takes approximately 1-2 hours to conduct. While the cause of some drainage issues may be apparent, it can be challenging to identify more complex problems since the drains are underground. That is why a CCTV drain survey is frequently the best course of action. These surveys enable us to obtain a precise diagnosis of your drainage issues by providing a visual of the underground drains.

Commercial FAQs

A commercial boiler typically possesses a larger capacity than a residential boiler as extensive spaces may require more significant heating requirements. When considering a commercial boiler, factors such as the boiler’s efficiency to minimise overheads and the type of boiler most suitable for commercial heating needs must be taken into account. At Ableforce, we offer a comprehensive range of commercial boiler services, including repair, maintenance, and installation, with our skilled boiler tradesmen available to provide expert advice on any commercial boiler-related queries you may have.

There are three primary types of plumbing pipes used in both commercial and domestic applications: PVC pipes, PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) pipes, and copper pipes. Each pipe has specific ideal conditions for use, such as PVC pipes’ ability to handle high water pressure, and their smooth inner lining’s protection against debris build-up. However, you don’t have to worry about selecting the right material as our commercial plumbing experts can provide advice on the best drainage system for your needs and execute it seamlessly.

At Ableforce we provide many sectors with drainage solutions. Some of these are:

  • Residential care homes
  • Letting agents and landlords
  • schools, colleges and universities
  • Hotels 
  • Restaurants, pubs and cafes
  • Retail premises
