Central heating installation, designed for the house you have

A heating system is only as good as its weakest part. We design the whole thing: the heat source, the cylinder, the radiators or underfloor heating, the pipework and the controls, sized from a heat-loss calculation for your property rather than copied from the last job.

What the job includes

That means gas, LPG or oil boilers from Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Baxi, Ideal, Grant and Potterton, air-source heat pumps and hybrids from Mitsubishi, Daikin and Vaillant, vented and unvented cylinders from Joule and Megaflo, and controls from Hive, Nest and Honeywell. New builds, extensions, full replacements and conversions from conventional to combi.

System design
Room-by-room heat loss, radiator or underfloor sizing, cylinder sizing and pipework layout, on paper before anything is fitted.
Boilers and heat pumps
Gas, LPG and oil boilers, or an air-source heat pump or hybrid where the house suits one.
Hot water cylinders
Vented and unvented, from Joule and Megaflo, sized for the household's actual hot water use.
Radiators, towel rails, underfloor heating
Copper or PEX pipework, thermostatic radiator valves and professional fittings throughout.
Smart controls
Zoned control from Hive, Nest or Honeywell, set up and explained before we leave.
Protection
Magnetic filter, inhibitor, compliant flue, expansion vessel and safety devices on every system.

Common questions

How long does a full central heating installation take?

A straightforward replacement in an occupied house is typically a few days. A new system with new pipework and underfloor heating takes longer and is planned with your builder if there is one.

Can you install underfloor heating with a boiler?

Yes. Wet underfloor heating runs happily from a boiler or a heat pump; the design sets the flow temperatures and zoning.

Should I have a heat pump instead of a boiler?

It depends on the insulation, the radiator sizes and how the house is used. We do the heat-loss calculation first and give you a straight answer, and we install both.

Do you fit smart heating controls?

Yes, Hive, Nest and Honeywell Home, with zoning where the system allows it.
