A reliable central heating system is essential for any Peterborough home.

With over 30 years in the trade, we've installed and maintained heating systems in thousands of homes across Peterborough and the surrounding areas.

What We Offer

Our central heating services cover everything from a single radiator replacement to a complete system installation. Here's what we can help with:

• Full central heating system design and installation
• Boiler replacements and upgrades (combi, system, and conventional)
• Radiator installation, repositioning, and balancing
• Thermostat upgrades and smart control fitting (Nest, Hive, Tado)
• Power flushing and system cleaning to restore efficiency
• Pipework repairs, modifications, and extensions
• Underfloor heating installation
• Thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) fitting
• Magnetic filter installation to protect your boiler
• Heating system fault diagnosis and repair

New Central Heating Installations

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.

Central Heating Repairs

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:

• Radiators cold at the top (trapped air) or bottom (sludge build-up)
• Boiler losing pressure repeatedly
• Banging, gurgling, or whistling noises in the system
• Thermostat not controlling the heating properly
• Leaking radiator valves or pipework joints
• Pump failure or circulation problems

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.

Power Flushing

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.

Smart Heating Controls

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.

Central Heating Pricing

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.
