The housing here is mostly Victorian and inter-war terraces around Stoke Heath Road and Heath Crescent, plus post-war infill. Space is the defining constraint: kitchens are small, there is often no airing cupboard worth keeping, and outside space is limited. The work is therefore dominated by compact combi installations, cylinder and loft-tank removals to reclaim room, and re-siting boilers from awkward positions into a serviceable location.
Owner-occupiers in CV2 4 and CV6 5 replacing an aged appliance, landlords fitting out a rental between tenancies, and HMO operators who need a boiler that can cope with staggered demand across several occupants and an inspection trail that stands up.
We can work to a void-period deadline, coordinate keys and access, and issue the gas safety record alongside the installation certificate so the property file is complete on day one. Where several properties are involved, we'll sequence them so you're not paying for repeat mobilisation.
Our base is a few minutes away in CV2, which matters most for the small things — a return visit to re-set a timer, a quick look at a radiator that isn't behaving, a same-week response when a tenant reports a fault.
Older terraced stock and rental turnover create a predictable set of problems.
We routinely find appliances boxed into cupboards with no clearance, or fitted above a worktop where the flue run barely complies. It makes servicing expensive and can invalidate the warranty.
In a terrace, flue terminals sit close to boundaries, opening windows and neighbouring properties. Terminal positions have minimum clearances for a reason — plume across a neighbour's door is both a nuisance complaint and a compliance failure.
Terraced systems that have never been flushed hold years of magnetite. It kills pumps, blocks the new heat exchanger and produces cold-at-the-bottom radiators within a single heating season.
Where a gas cooker, fire and boiler share a supply in a small terrace, total gas rate has to be checked. Undersized supply pipe shows up as a boiler that locks out under full load.
We look at the boiler position, flue options against boundaries, gas run and total appliance load, and agree access arrangements with you or the tenant.
Terraces need less heating output than people expect. We size on measured heat loss and choose the model on hot-water flow, allowing for realistic occupancy in an HMO.
Itemised, with landlord documentation and any making-good clearly listed rather than assumed.
Old appliance, cylinder and tanks removed, space reclaimed, new boiler sited where it can actually be serviced. Typically one to two days.
Power flush on older circuits, magnetic filter on the return, inhibitor dosed, gas rate and combustion recorded.
Benchmark completed, Gas Safe notification, manufacturer registration, plus a gas safety record where you need one for the tenancy.
Small kitchens, tight cupboards and terraced flue routes are everyday work for us in CV2.
Installation certificate, benchmark and gas safety record issued together.
Cylinder and loft tank removals turn an airing cupboard back into storage.
Plus the manufacturer's warranty, registered on your behalf.
We can sequence installations to fit tenancy changeovers.
Useful when a tenant reports no heating on a Sunday.
The detail behind a compliant boiler installation in Stoke Heath's terraced housing.
Discuss your projectThe best positions are usually an internal kitchen wall with a short horizontal flue to the rear, or an upstairs box room where the old cylinder stood. Both keep the flue away from the front boundary and shorten the condensate run. We check documented service clearances from the manufacturer's instructions and design the cupboard around them rather than the other way round, because a boiler you cannot get a service engineer into becomes a warranty argument later.
Minimum distances apply to openings, boundaries, corners, ground level and other terminals. In tight terraces the practical answer is often a plume-management kit that redirects the discharge away from a neighbouring window or a shared passage. It costs a little more and prevents both a nuisance complaint and a failed inspection.
Removing the cylinder, feed-and-expansion tank and cold-water storage tank ends the freeze risk in an uninsulated terrace loft, removes the overflow that dumps into the gutter, and frees a full cupboard. Redundant pipework is cut back and capped rather than left dangling, and the loft is left clear and safe to walk.
Shared houses use hot water in bursts rather than continuously, and several occupants may shower in the same hour. Either a high-flow combi with a genuinely strong mains supply, or a system boiler with a modest unvented cylinder, will handle that; a mid-range combi on a weak main will not. Mains flow rate is measured before any recommendation is made.
On original steel-radiator systems we power flush with a magnetic capture unit, radiator by radiator, until the return runs clear, then dose inhibitor to concentration and fit a filter. Where a radiator is beyond recovery — cold across the bottom third even after flushing — replacing it during the install is cheaper than returning later.
You should end up with the benchmark checklist completed in the manual, the Gas Safe building-regulations certificate, manufacturer warranty registration, the commissioning figures, and a current gas safety record covering all appliances at the property. We issue these together so the tenancy file is complete.
