Every home — and every family’s usage — is different. That’s why we offer a free, no-obligation survey and quotation for all new Boiler installations.

We offer competitively priced annual servicing appointments. Carried out quickly and tidily at a time that suits you.

Underfloor Heating
Underfloor heating provides efficient, evenly distributed warmth while freeing your walls from bulky radiators.
Installed beneath the floor surface, it delivers consistent heat across the entire room and creates a clean, modern finish.
Suitable for both new builds and renovations, underfloor heating systems are tailored to your home, flooring type and heating requirements.
We install both wet (water-based) and electric underfloor heating systems. Wet systems connect to your Boiler and circulate warm water through pipework beneath the floor.
Electric systems use heating cables powered by the mains supply, making them ideal for smaller areas or retrofit projects.
We offer free, no-obligation surveys and quotes. Designing each system to match your property layout, insulation levels and budget.
We also provide underfloor heating servicing and repairs.
- Wet system installation (boiler-fed)
- Electric underfloor heating installation
- Full system design
- Fault diagnosis and repairs
- Servicing and performance checks
- Free home surveys and quotes
Power Flushing
Over time, central heating systems accumulate sludge, rust, and limescale in radiators, pipes, and valves. This debris restricts water flow, reduces efficiency and forces your Boiler to work harder than it should.
Powerflushing is a deep-cleaning process that restores your heating system’s performance. We use Kamco machines to circulate cleaning solutions at high flow through the system. Breaking down and removing built-up sludge and deposits.
If your radiators have cold spots, only heat at the top, or take a long time to warm up, a powerflush may be needed.
A clean heating system heats more evenly, improves energy efficiency and can extend the lifespan of your Boiler.
- High-flow chemical cleansing
- Sludge and debris removal
- System balancing and inhibitor after flushing
- Improved heating efficiency

If you let a property in Ingatestone, you’re legally required to hold a valid Gas Safety Certificate (CP12). By law, gas appliances and pipework must be inspected by a Gas Safe-registered engineer every 12 months or at the start of a new tenancy.
Our qualified Gas Safe engineers carry out CP12 inspections and issue official certification upon completion.
If any appliance or installation fails the inspection, we can usually carry out the necessary remedial work the same day. Ensuring you meet compliance requirements without delay.
With our service, you can be confident your gas system is safe, your property remains legally compliant, and your tenants are protected.
