Services
Boiler Servicing
Regular boiler servicing ensures safety and efficiency while extending appliance lifespan. Our Gas Safe engineers perform comprehensive checks on gas, oil, and LPG boilers, identifying potential carbon monoxide risks and maintaining manufacturer warranties. Customers receive detailed service reports and annual reminder systems to prevent lapses in safety compliance.
Central Heating Installation
We design and install energy-efficient central heating systems using leading brands like Vaillant and Worcester. Our engineers handle complete system replacements or targeted upgrades, incorporating smart controls and renewable technologies. All installations include Gas Safe registration, building regulation compliance, and 12-month workmanship guarantees for complete peace of mind.
Bathroom Design
From concept to completion, our team delivers tailored bathroom installations featuring premium brands such as Grohe and Ideal Standard. We offer full project management including tiling, plumbing, and electrical work, with initial consultations to assess requirements. All projects meet current building regulations and include water compliance certification upon completion.
Landlord Gas Safety Checks
We provide certified annual gas safety inspections for rental properties, meeting legal requirements under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations. Our engineers issue Landlords Gas Safety Certificates, maintain service records for two years, and offer reminder systems to prevent compliance lapses. Additional plumbing maintenance can be performed during the same visit.
Power Flushing
Our power flushing service removes sludge and scale buildup from central heating systems, restoring efficiency and prolonging boiler lifespan. Using magnetic filtration technology like Adey Magnaclean systems, we address circulation issues that cause cold radiators and noisy boilers. The process typically completes in one day with immediate improvements in system performance and energy efficiency.
