Plumber & heating engineer in Dover
Dover sits on the east Kent coast, and we cover it and its villages across the CT16 and CT17 postcodes.
Coverage
Plumbing & heating in Dover
Dover has a lot of older housing built into its hills alongside newer estates, and we cover it all for boilers, heating, bathrooms and everyday plumbing. Being further east, we will always give you a realistic timescale for a visit.
We reach Dover itself plus River, Whitfield, Temple Ewell and Kearsney, with Gas Safe registration for LPG and OFTEC certification for oil, the two fuels common in the villages around the town.
Also covered nearby: River, Whitfield, Temple Ewell, Kearsney, Guston. Postcodes CT16 to CT17.

Boilers
Boiler servicing and repairs in Dover
An annual boiler service in Dover 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 Dover district run on mains gas, and for the 11% 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.

Cold at the top means air. Cold at the bottom means sludge, and bleeding will not touch it. Where magnetite comes from, and the difference between a chemical clean, a power flush and a filter.
