Services
Central Heating
We design and install complete gas central heating systems using Intergas condensing boilers with 9-12 year warranties. Our systems incorporate energy-efficient thermostats and controls to optimise performance. Engineers ensure compliance with building regulations while providing tailored solutions for radiator or underfloor heating configurations.
Boiler Installations
Specialist boiler installations featuring Intergas ECO RF and HRE models with cast-iron heat exchangers. We handle combi, system, and open vent boilers with Gas Safe registration and Building Regulation compliance certificates. Regular servicing maintains warranty validity and system efficiency.
General Plumbing
Comprehensive plumbing services covering leaks, taps, toilets, and water systems. Our Water Industry Approved Plumbers work with conventional and unvented systems using JC Venables-sourced components. We avoid customer-supplied parts to maintain quality control and warranty integrity.
Servicing
Annual boiler servicing and gas safety checks with electronic record keeping. Our Gas Safe engineers perform full appliance inspections, performance tests, and remedial actions. Landlord certificates require prior servicing, with automatic email reminders for annual compliance.
Bathroom Renovations
Full bathroom design and installation service including showers, tiling, and fixtures. Our team manages complete projects from layout planning to final fitting, incorporating electrical and building work where needed. We use approved suppliers to guarantee component quality and system longevity.
