Boilers, heating and plumbing in Bath
Repairs, servicing and new boilers for homes across Bath, from Georgian terraces to new builds. You get a fixed written quote before any work starts.
What do you need?
Pick the one that fits. Each one tells you what happens next and the quickest way to get it sorted.
01Breakdowns and repairs
Call us and tell us what the boiler is doing, plus any fault code on the display. We give you a time slot, and the engineer texts when they are on the way.
02Annual boiler service
Most manufacturers ask for a service every year to keep the guarantee valid. It also catches small faults before they turn into a cold morning.
03Boiler replacement
We come out, look at your current system and how your home uses heat and hot water, then send a fixed written quote. No pressure, and the price does not change once you say yes.
04Central heating
Cold spots, banging pipes and radiators that are only warm at the top usually point to sludge, air or a pump problem. We find the cause before suggesting any work.
05Landlord Gas Safety Record (CP12)
Landlords need a gas safety check every 12 months. We test every gas appliance, issue the record and can arrange access with your tenants directly.
06Air source heat pumps
A heat pump needs to be designed around your home. We start with a heat loss survey, then tell you plainly whether it suits your house and what it would involve.
A new boiler, step by step
We look at your current boiler, the flue route, gas supply and pipework, and ask how your household uses heating and hot water. It usually takes under an hour.
Free, no obligationYou get the boiler, controls, filter and every bit of work listed in writing, with the guarantee length shown. The price you agree is the price you pay.
Usually within two working daysDust sheets down, old boiler out, system cleaned and protected with a magnetic filter before the new boiler goes on. Most swaps take one or two days.

Finance is subject to status.
Heating for Bath’s older homes
Many Bath streets sit in a conservation area. We plan flue positions that suit the building and check whether consent is needed before you commit.
Pipe runs under original boards are marked, lifted and relaid so you would struggle to tell we had been.
Column and cast iron style radiators sized for high ceilings and tall sash windows, so the room heats evenly.
“Our boiler stopped on a Sunday night. The engineer was with us first thing Monday, had the part on the van and we had hot water by ten.”
“New boiler in a listed flat on Great Pulteney Street. They worked out the flue route with the building manager and left the place spotless.”
“They look after the boilers and gas safety checks for my three rentals. Reminders come through on time and the certificates arrive the same day.”

Call 01632 960 418 and we will give you the earliest slot we have. If you have no heating or hot water and someone vulnerable lives with you, tell us and we will prioritise the visit.
