Services
Boiler installation
We specialise in Vaillant boiler installations with 10-year warranties. Our Gas Safe engineers assess property requirements to recommend combination, system, or heat-only boilers. All installations meet current building regulations and include system efficiency checks to ensure optimal performance and energy savings for residential properties.
Emergency repairs
24/7 emergency boiler repair service for urgent heating failures. Our Gas Safe engineers carry common replacement parts to resolve issues promptly. We prioritise restoring heating and hot water supply while identifying underlying system problems to prevent future breakdowns through comprehensive diagnostics.
Underfloor heating
Installation of John Guest underfloor heating systems with smart controls. We design water-based UFH solutions for new builds and retrofits, integrating thermostatic controls for zoned temperature management. Systems operate at 25-28C floor surface temperature, providing energy-efficient warmth with optional remote app control via JG Aura technology.
Power flushing
High-velocity water flushing to remove sludge and corrosion from central heating systems. We use FX2 and HYPER-FLUSH cleaning agents to restore circulation efficiency. This service prevents boiler noise, improves system longevity, and is recommended before new boiler installations to maintain warranty validity and operational performance.
Gas safety checks
Annual gas safety inspections for residential properties, including landlords. Our engineers check gas appliances, pipework, and ventilation compliance. We issue Gas Safety Records (GSRs) and advise on necessary repairs. This service ensures legal compliance for rental properties and maintains safe operating conditions for homeowners.

Needed my boiler serviced so called Steve, he did the job in hand and fixed a leek that had appeared. Nothing was too much trouble, on time, cleaned up after himself and was completely Covid safe. I will definitely be calling on him again.
