PROJECT OVERVIEW
Location: Aberdeen
Service: Boiler Replacement & Installation
Client: Residential Homeowner
Completed by: Harley Reid & Sons
Harley Reid & Sons recently completed a boiler replacement in a 1930s Aberdeen home, removing a 15-year-old boiler that had become unreliable and replacing it with a modern, efficient model backed by a 12-year warranty.
The project involved careful planning to work within a tight roofspace, ensuring the new boiler was not only fitted safely but positioned for easier access and maintenance in future.

CLIENT CHALLENGE
The homeowner contacted Harley Reid & Sons, trusted boiler specialists in Aberdeen, after their existing boiler, over 15 years old, began needing frequent repairs in a short space of time.
Craig talked the client through their options honestly: continue maintaining an ageing boiler that could fail or become unsafe at any point, or invest in a replacement and gain the comfort of a reliable, efficient system with long-term cover.
The client chose to replace the boiler, but the job came with a challenge of its own. The boiler was tucked into the eaves of the roofspace in a 1930s house, a tight, awkward space that hadn’t been designed with future maintenance in mind.
OUR APPROACH
To begin, the Harley Reid & Sons team removed the old boiler and assessed the roofspace to plan the new installation.
A full relocation wasn’t possible given the constraints of the space, so the team instead focused on making the most of what was there. This included:
- Repositioning the new boiler within the existing space to allow easier future access
- Rerouting the flue pipe to suit the new position
- Fitting additional pipework to connect the system safely and efficiently
- Installing a new high-efficiency boiler with a 12-year warranty
Meanwhile, careful attention to the layout meant the new boiler would be far simpler to service and maintain going forward, solving a problem that had likely made previous repairs more difficult than they needed to be.
THE RESULT
The completed boiler replacement gives the homeowner a modern, efficient heating system with the reassurance of a 15-year warranty.
By repositioning the boiler within the roofspace, the team also resolved the access issues that had complicated maintenance in the past. Any future servicing will now be considerably easier to carry out.
Ultimately, the project delivered peace of mind: an efficient, safe, and reliable boiler, fitted properly the first time.
