Boiler Installations & Replacements
How long does a boiler installation take?
A straightforward like-for-like swap is usually done in a day. Changing the boiler type or location can take longer, and we'll tell you exactly what to expect in your quote.

Do you fit oil and LPG boilers as well as gas?
Yes. We install natural gas, LPG and oil boilers, so you only need one engineer whatever your home runs on.
Boiler Servicing
How often should my boiler be serviced?
Once a year. An annual service keeps your boiler running safely and efficiently, and most manufacturers require it to keep your warranty valid.
What does a boiler service include?
A full safety and performance check, cleaning of key components, flue and combustion testing, and a plain-English explanation of anything we find.
Can you remind me when my next service is due?
Yes. Sign up for our free service reminder and we'll send you a friendly email when your next service is coming up.
Boiler Repairs
Will you tell me the cost before you start?
Yes. We'll explain what's wrong and what the repair will cost before any work begins, so there are no surprises.
Is it worth repairing an old boiler?
Sometimes. If a repair doesn't make sense on an older boiler, we'll tell you honestly and talk you through the replacement options.
What should I send you when I get in touch?
A short description of the problem and, if you can, a photo of the boiler and any fault code on the display. It helps us come prepared.
Oil & LPG Heating
Do you work on oil and LPG boilers?
Yes. We service, repair and install natural gas, LPG and oil boilers, so off-grid homes are fully covered.
How often should an oil boiler be serviced?
Once a year, ideally before winter. Oil boilers benefit from regular cleaning and checks to keep them burning efficiently and reliably.
Do you cover rural villages?
Yes. We cover homes right across Somerset, including villages and farmhouses off the gas grid. If you're unsure, just ask.
Central Heating
Why are some of my radiators cold?
It's often trapped air, sludge in the system or an unbalanced system. We'll find the cause and recommend the right fix, from a flush and balance to new radiators.
Can you upgrade my heating controls?
Yes. We fit modern thermostats and heating controls that make your system easier to use and more efficient to run.
Do you install heating in extensions and renovations?
Yes. We plan and install new radiators and pipework for extensions and renovations, finished neatly so it looks like it's always been there.
Plumbing & Bathrooms
Do you fit complete bathrooms?
Yes. We handle the whole job, from planning the layout to fitting the suite, shower and pipework, finished neat and ready to use.
Do you take on small plumbing jobs?
Yes. Dripping taps, leaks and replacement pipework are all part of what we do. No job is too small.
Landlord Gas Safety Certificates
How often do I need a landlord gas safety certificate?
Every 12 months. Every gas appliance, flue and the pipework in a rental property must be checked by a Gas Safe registered engineer each year, and tenants must receive a copy of the record.
Can you service the boiler on the same visit?
Yes. We can combine the gas safety check with a boiler service, and carry out most minor repairs on the spot.
Do you work with letting agents?
Yes. We look after landlords and letting agents with single properties and whole portfolios across Somerset.
