Your boiler is the heart of your home’s heating and hot water, and choosing the right replacement when the old one fails makes a significant difference to comfort, efficiency, and running costs for years to come. We install boilers from all major manufacturers across the Medway Towns including Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Baxi, Ideal, and Viessmann. We assess your property’s size, hot water demand, and radiator count to recommend the right boiler type and output rather than fitting whatever’s cheapest or most convenient. Every installation includes full Gas Safe certification and manufacturer warranty registration. Combi, system, and regular boilers installed to current standards.
A boiler that’s losing pressure, making unusual sounds, cutting out intermittently, or failing to heat water reliably needs professional diagnosis rather than guesswork. We repair boilers from all major manufacturers across the Medway Towns, carrying the most common replacement parts to resolve the majority of faults on the first visit. Annual servicing keeps your boiler running efficiently, identifies developing problems before they cause breakdowns, and maintains your manufacturer’s warranty. We provide boiler service plans and one-off servicing appointments across Gillingham, Chatham, Rochester, Strood, Rainham, and the wider area. Every repair and service is carried out to Gas Safe standards.
A well-fitted bathroom starts with quality plumbing designed and installed properly before the visible finishing goes on top. We carry out complete bathroom plumbing across the Medway Towns, handling first fix pipework, waste routing, hot and cold supply positioning, and soil stack connections. Our service covers suite replacements, full redesigns with layout changes, wet room conversions, ensuite creations, and cloakroom installations. We coordinate with tilers, electricians, and other trades to ensure the project flows in the correct sequence. Whether you want a simple refresh or a complete transformation, we deliver the plumbing foundation that everything else depends on.
Plumbing emergencies happen without warning and rarely at convenient times. A burst pipe flooding the kitchen, a boiler failing on the coldest night, a toilet overflowing with no sign of stopping, or a leak spreading through the ceiling — these situations need a plumber who answers the phone, arrives quickly, and fixes the problem properly. We provide emergency plumbing services across the Medway Towns, responding to burst pipes, major leaks, boiler breakdowns, blocked drains, and any situation where water is causing damage or systems have failed. We diagnose accurately, repair permanently, and confirm pricing before work begins.
A properly designed and maintained heating system keeps every room comfortable without wasting energy or running up excessive bills. We design, install, and maintain central heating systems across the Medway Towns, covering complete new installations for properties without existing systems, full upgrades replacing outdated pipework and radiators, and targeted improvements to systems that aren’t performing as they should. We size radiators correctly for each room, ensure pipework is adequately dimensioned for the system’s demand, and balance the completed installation so heat distributes evenly throughout the property. All heating work completed to Gas Safe standards with full certification.
Cold radiators, uneven heating, noisy pipework, and rooms that never seem to warm up properly all have specific causes that proper diagnosis identifies and targeted repairs resolve. We install new radiators, replace undersized or corroded units, fit thermostatic radiator valves for individual room control, and carry out power flushing to remove the sludge and debris that accumulates in heating systems over time and reduces their efficiency. Power flushing is particularly effective on older systems across the Medway Towns where years of corrosion have deposited black iron oxide throughout the pipework and radiators, restricting flow and creating cold spots.
From dripping taps and running toilets to leaking radiator valves, faulty ball valves in the loft, and washing machine connections that weep quietly behind the appliance, we handle the everyday plumbing repairs that keep your Medway home functioning properly. Small problems left unattended become bigger ones — a dripping tap wastes water and stains the basin, a running toilet inflates your water bill, and a slow leak behind a bath panel causes damage you don’t discover until the ceiling below stains. We diagnose accurately, carry parts for the most common repairs, and fix problems permanently rather than temporarily. Honest pricing on every job.
Costs depend on the type of work. A dripping tap repair typically costs £60 to £90. A toilet mechanism replacement costs £80 to £130. A radiator installation costs £150 to £300 per radiator depending on size and pipework required. A bathroom installation ranges from £3,500 to £14,000 depending on specification. A new boiler installation typically costs £2,000 to £4,500 including the unit. We provide fixed prices for every job before work starts so you know exactly what you’re paying. The most accurate way to get a price is to contact us with details of what you need.
Yes. We’re fully registered on the Gas Safe Register, which is the legal requirement for anyone working on gas appliances in the UK. Our registration means our qualifications are verified annually and our competence is independently assessed. We provide gas safety certificates for every gas installation and repair, benchmark commissioning records for new boilers, and landlord CP12 certificates for rental properties. You can verify our registration number on the Gas Safe Register website at any time. We’re happy to show our Gas Safe ID card before starting any work.
Yes. We provide emergency plumbing services across the Medway Towns for burst pipes, major leaks, boiler failures, blocked drains, and any situation where water is causing damage or essential systems have failed. Call us directly for the fastest response. We confirm pricing before work begins so you know the cost before we proceed, even in emergency situations. For non-urgent problems that can safely wait — a dripping tap, a slow drain, a radiator that needs bleeding — booking a standard appointment saves you the premium of an emergency call-out.
A straightforward like-for-like boiler replacement — removing the old boiler and installing the new one in the same position — typically takes one day. If the boiler is being relocated to a different position, or if the installation involves changes to the flue route, pipework modifications, or upgrades to the heating system, the work may extend to two days. We confirm the expected duration before work starts so you can plan accordingly. You’ll have heating and hot water restored by the time we leave on the final day.
The right boiler depends on your property size, the number of bathrooms, and your hot water demand. A combi boiler heats water on demand without a storage cylinder and suits most one or two bathroom properties across the Medway Towns. A system boiler works with a hot water cylinder and suits larger properties with multiple bathrooms where simultaneous hot water demand is higher. A regular boiler works with both a cylinder and a cold water tank and suits properties with existing traditional heating systems. We assess your specific requirements and recommend the right type rather than defaulting to whatever’s easiest to install.
Annual servicing is recommended by all boiler manufacturers and is typically a condition of maintaining your warranty. A service checks gas pressure, flue operation, ignition, safety devices, and general condition, identifying developing problems before they cause breakdowns. Regular servicing also maintains efficiency — a poorly maintained boiler uses more gas to produce the same heat, increasing your bills. We offer annual servicing across the Medway Towns and can set up reminders so you don’t need to remember to book each year. A service typically takes 45 minutes to an hour.
