A reliable central heating system is essential for any Peterborough home. Whether you need a brand-new installation, a repair to your existing system, or routine maintenance to keep things running smoothly, our experienced engineers deliver results you can depend on. With over 30 years in the trade, we've installed and maintained heating systems in thousands of homes across Peterborough and the surrounding areas.
Our central heating services cover everything from a single radiator replacement to a complete system installation. Here's what we can help with:
If your property doesn't have central heating, or your existing system is beyond economical repair, we can design and install a complete system tailored to your home. We'll assess the size and layout of your property, recommend the right boiler and radiator configuration, and carry out the installation with minimal disruption.
We install systems from leading manufacturers including Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Baxi, and Ideal. All installations are carried out by our Gas Safe registered engineers and come with a full manufacturer's warranty plus our own 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Cold radiators, noisy pipes, uneven heating, and boiler pressure drops are all signs that something isn't right with your central heating. Our engineers diagnose and fix faults quickly, with most repairs completed on the first visit. Common issues we deal with include:
If you're not sure what's wrong, don't worry — we'll diagnose the issue and explain your options clearly before carrying out any work.
Over time, central heating systems build up sludge, rust, and limescale that reduce efficiency and cause breakdowns. A power flush forces clean water through your entire system at high velocity, removing debris from radiators, pipework, and the boiler heat exchanger.
After a power flush, you'll typically notice radiators heating up faster, more even heat distribution, and a quieter system. It's particularly worthwhile if you're having a new boiler installed — fitting a new boiler onto a dirty system can void the manufacturer's warranty and shorten the boiler's lifespan.
Upgrading to a smart thermostat can reduce your heating bills by 10–15% by learning your routine and only heating your home when needed. We install and configure all major smart heating brands including Nest, Hive, Tado, and Honeywell Evohome. We'll connect everything to your phone so you can control your heating from anywhere.
Repair costs depend on the fault, but we offer transparent, competitive pricing with no hidden call-out charges. We'll always provide a clear quote before starting work. For larger projects like full installations, we provide a free, no-obligation written quote after surveying your property.
We also offer combined packages — if your heating system needs a boiler service alongside repairs, we can often do both in a single visit and save you money.
We provide central heating services across Peterborough and the surrounding areas, including the city centre (PE1), Orton, Werrington, Hampton, Bretton, Fletton, Stanground, Yaxley, Market Deeping, Whittlesey, and Stamford. As a local company, we typically offer appointments within a few days — and priority slots for customers without heating during the colder months.
Regular maintenance prevents costly breakdowns and keeps your energy bills low. If your heating hasn't been serviced recently, or you've noticed any changes in performance, book a heating check or call us on 01733 797074. We'll make sure your system is ready for the cold weather.

A full central heating system installation typically takes 2 to 5 days depending on the size of the property, the number of radiators, and the complexity of the pipework. We'll give you a clear timeline before we start.
A power flush cleans your central heating system by removing sludge, rust, and debris that build up over time. You likely need one if your radiators have cold spots, your system is noisy, or you're having a new boiler installed. It restores efficiency and protects your boiler.
Upgrading to a smart thermostat can save you 10–15% on heating bills by learning your routine and heating your home only when needed. We install Nest, Hive, Tado, and Honeywell. The investment usually pays for itself within the first winter.
Costs depend on the size of your property and the system specification. We provide free, no-obligation quotes after surveying your home. All our quotes are fully itemised with no hidden fees.
Radiators cold at the top usually need bleeding to release trapped air. Radiators cold at the bottom typically have sludge build-up and may need a power flush. If only some radiators heat up, the system may need balancing. Our engineers can diagnose and fix the issue quickly.
Yes, we install both wet (hydronic) and electric underfloor heating systems. Wet systems are more efficient for whole-house heating and connect to your existing boiler. We'll advise on the best option for your property and flooring type.
