Coverage

Plumbing & heating in Canterbury

Canterbury is a mix of historic homes inside the city walls and newer housing spreading out towards the university and the surrounding villages. Older properties often bring their own quirks, tight airing cupboards, dated pipework and awkward boiler positions, and we are used to working around them cleanly.

We cover the full range in Canterbury: boiler installations and servicing, hot water cylinders, bathroom refits, gas safety checks and landlord certificates for the city's many let properties, plus everyday plumbing repairs.

Also covered nearby: Sturry, Bridge, Chartham, Blean, Harbledown. Postcodes CT1 to CT4.

Boilers

Boiler servicing and repairs in Canterbury

An annual boiler service in Canterbury is £90, carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer: combustion and efficiency checks and a full health check of the boiler, which also keeps a manufacturer’s warranty valid. Boiler servicing and repairs

Most homes across the Canterbury district run on mains gas, and for the 13% that are off the grid we service oil boilers under our OFTEC certification and LPG boilers under our Gas Safe registration. LPG and oil boilers

If your boiler breaks down, loses pressure or shows a fault code, we find the cause and repair it, and if a repair stops making sense we will say so and quote for a new boiler from £1,850. Radiators that stay cold at the bottom usually mean sludge, which power flushing clears.
