Services
Boiler Installations
We install natural gas and LPG boilers, including energy-efficient models compliant with Boiler Plus regulations. Our engineers assess your property's needs to recommend optimal solutions, from compact combi boilers to commercial systems. All installations include Gas Safe certification and manufacturer warranties.
Central Heating Powerflush
Our powerflushing service removes corrosion and limescale from pipework and radiators using high-velocity chemical solutions. This restores heating efficiency, eliminates cold spots, and extends system lifespan. The process includes inhibitor injection for ongoing protection, typically completed within 5-8 hours for standard systems.
Gas Safety Checks
We conduct annual gas safety inspections for landlords, covering boilers, fires, and water heaters. Our Gas Safe engineers issue official documentation required by law, with discounts available for multiple appliances. Regular checks ensure tenant safety and compliance with current regulations.
Unvented Hot Water Systems
We install high-pressure hot water systems ideal for properties requiring large volumes of hot water. These systems deliver mains pressure performance but require adequate incoming water pressure. Our installations include safety controls and expansion vessels to meet building regulations.
Emergency Plumbing Repairs
We offer urgent repairs for burst pipes, heating failures, and flooding incidents. Our engineers carry common replacement parts and use thermal imaging for leak detection. Emergency call-outs operate within specified premium rate periods, with standard charges applying during normal hours.
