Services
Boiler Servicing
Regular boiler servicing maintains efficiency and safety while extending equipment lifespan. Our engineers perform comprehensive checks including combustion analysis, component inspections, and system efficiency testing. Preventative maintenance identifies potential issues before breakdowns occur, ensuring compliance with warranty requirements and safety regulations.
Emergency Repairs
24/7 emergency repair service addresses urgent heating failures with rapid response times. Our Gas Safe engineers diagnose and resolve faults in gas, oil, and LPG systems while providing transparent pricing and repair options. Emergency call-outs include safety assessments and temporary solutions where required.
Plumbing Installations
Full plumbing installations cover central heating, hot water systems, and radiator upgrades. We design energy-efficient layouts using quality components with Worcester Bosch and Grant boiler installations. Projects include pipe routing optimisation and smart control integration for improved system performance.
Landlord Certificates
Annual gas safety inspections meet legal requirements for rental properties. Our engineers issue Landlord Gas Safety Records (LGSR) after checking appliances, flues, and ventilation systems. We provide documentation within statutory deadlines and advise on compliance requirements.
Powerflushing
Powerflushing removes sludge and debris from central heating systems using high-velocity water flow. This restores efficiency in systems showing cold radiator patches or boiler noise issues. The process typically takes 4-8 hours depending on system complexity and includes inhibitor treatment to prevent future corrosion.
