Boiler Servicing
Regular boiler servicing ensures safe, efficient operation while maintaining warranty validity. Our Gas Safe engineers conduct thorough inspections, flue checks, and component clean-ups to prevent breakdowns and reduce energy bills. With annual servicing, we identify potential issues early, ensuring your heating system runs reliably for years.
Heating Services
From boiler replacements to underfloor heating installations, our heating services address both modern and older systems. We specialise in upgrading outdated setups, fitting new radiators, and power flushing systems to restore efficiency. All work complies with Part L Building Regulations, ensuring energy efficiency and long-term reliability for residential properties.
Plumbing Services
We handle all plumbing-related tasks, including leak repairs, pipework upgrades, and bathroom installations. Our team addresses both minor issues and complex projects, such as hot water cylinder servicing and pressurised system installations. With expertise in general plumbing and emergency fixes, we provide tailored solutions for residential properties across Bristol.
Power Flushing
Power flushing removes sludge and debris from central heating systems, preventing boiler damage and improving efficiency. Using advanced chemicals and equipment, we clean radiators and pipework to resolve cold spots and poor flow rates. This service is recommended during boiler replacements or when systems show signs of corrosion.
Boiler Installations
We install combi, conventional, and system boilers with magnetic filters and inhibitor additives for optimal performance. As Vaillant Accredited Installers, we offer up to 10-year warranties and ensure compliance with Benchmark and Part L regulations. Our installations include power flushing and system diagnostics to guarantee long-term reliability and energy efficiency.
