Gas & Boiler Services
Our Gas Safe-registered engineers provide comprehensive boiler maintenance, repairs, and installations across Kent. We specialise in pipe purging, gas safety checks, and upgrading systems to meet current regulations. With expertise in commercial and domestic settings, we resolve heating issues efficiently while ensuring compliance with safety standards for both residential and educational establishments.
Fire Doors
We design and install bespoke fire doors manufactured to UK and European standards. Available in veneer, paint, or laminate finishes, our doors include integrated fire and smoke seals. Our team conducts fire door surveys to ensure compliance, offering remedial works and upgrades to meet current safety regulations for schools and commercial properties.
Leak Detection & Repair
Using advanced tracer gas, acoustic testing, and CCTV inspection, we identify and repair leaks in central heating, underfloor heating, and water mains. Our specialists handle above- and below-ground leaks, providing excavation and repair services for residential and commercial clients across Kent and South London.

Our moling service replaces and installs water pipes with minimal excavation, reducing environmental impact and costs. Ideal for commercial properties, this technique enables efficient pipework renewal and blockage resolution while maintaining site integrity through trenchless technology.
