Edwardian bay-fronted villas
Earlsdon Avenue and the surrounding streets — high ceilings, solid walls, big heat loads, original chimney breasts often used for flue routing.
Earlsdon's Edwardian villas and Cheylesmore's interwar housing need a different approach to a new-build estate — bigger heat loads, longer pipe runs, and rooms that were never designed around a radiator.

Earlsdon and Cheylesmore sit on the south-west and south side of the city, about fifteen minutes from our CV2 base via the ring road.
Earlsdon is Coventry's best-known period suburb: bay-fronted Edwardian villas along the avenues, terraces around Chapelfields, generous ceiling heights and solid walls. Heat loss in these houses is genuinely higher than the modern stock a mile away, and a boiler sized by rule-of-thumb will either short-cycle or fail to keep up. Cheylesmore and Styvechale add interwar semis and larger 1930s detached homes, often with original service voids and later loft conversions that were plumbed on the cheap. There's also a substantial student and professional rental market around Earlsdon and Chapelfields, so landlord certification is steady work for us here.

Compact terraced rows with rear extensions, small bathrooms and shared boundary walls that complicate flue termination.

An oversized boiler on an undersized system wastes money every single day it runs. We size the boiler to your property, install it to manufacturer spec, and commission it so it actually performs the way the brochure promised.

Local property age, climate, water chemistry and infrastructure all influence what fails and how often. Here's what we see in Earlsdon & Cheylesmore.
A three-storey Edwardian villa with solid walls loses far more heat than a modern semi of similar footprint. We run a room-by-room heat-loss calculation so the boiler and radiators match the house — the difference between a warm home and a boiler that runs constantly.
Header tank in the loft, cylinder on the landing, weak shower pressure upstairs. Converting to a sealed system or unvented cylinder transforms it — but only if the incoming mains flow rate supports it, which we measure first.
Parts of Earlsdon and Chapelfields sit in conservation areas where a flue on a front elevation isn't acceptable. Chimney-routed flues and discreet rear terminations solve it without a planning fight.
Third-floor bathrooms added without proper pumped waste or pressure boosting are a recurring problem here. We fix the cause rather than fitting a stronger shower head.
Speak to a real engineer — not a script. We confirm scope, ETA and whether we can quote on the call.
We diagnose the actual fault on the actual property, not the symptom you described over the phone.
Itemised. Fixed. Sent before tools come out of the van. No 'while I'm here' surprises.
Dust sheets, boot covers, full clean-up. We leave the property as we found it — except fixed.
Walk-through with you on completion. Photos and paperwork emailed across after every job.
