Professional boiler replacement service for inefficient or faulty systems. We conduct free property surveys and provide tailored recommendations for suitable boiler models. All installations include Gas Safe certification, 7-year manufacturer warranties on Vaillant models, and our 12-month workmanship guarantee. Our engineers handle complete system upgrades while maintaining compliance with current building regulations.
Central Heating
Comprehensive central heating solutions including full system installations and repairs. We specialise in diagnosing and resolving heating inefficiencies, replacing radiators, and optimising system performance. Our Gas Safe engineers work with both modern condensing and traditional systems, ensuring safe operation and improved energy efficiency through proper system balancing and pressure testing.
Powerflushing
Advanced powerflushing service using Fernox equipment to remove sludge and scale from heating systems. This process addresses cold spots, noisy boilers, and poor circulation issues. We employ chemical cleaning treatments followed by high-velocity water flushing to restore system efficiency, particularly recommended before new boiler installations to maintain warranty validity.

We provide official certification required by law for landlords, along with detailed reports highlighting any necessary repairs or maintenance to ensure tenant safety and regulatory compliance.
