How often should my boiler be serviced?
We recommend having your boiler serviced once a year to ensure it’s running efficiently and safely. Regular servicing helps prevent breakdowns, improves energy efficiency, and extends the lifespan of your boiler.

How can I prevent my pipes from freezing in winter?
To prevent your pipes from freezing during cold weather, follow these tips:
• Insulate exposed pipes in colder areas like basements or attics.
• Keep your home at a consistent temperature, especially during extreme cold.
• Let faucets drip slightly during freezing weather to relieve pressure in the pipes.
If you need help winterizing your plumbing system, contact us today.
What should I do if I have low water pressure?
Low water pressure can be caused by several factors, including:
• Clogged aerators on faucets or showerheads
• Pipe blockages or leaks
• Problems with your water supplier
We recommend checking for clogged aerators first. If the issue persists, contact us for an inspection.

How can I tell if my heating system needs repair?
Signs your heating system might need repair include:
• Uneven heating throughout your home
• Unusual noises coming from your boiler or radiators
• Higher energy bills without an increase in usage
• A yellow pilot light instead of blue
If you notice any of these issues, contact us for an inspection and repair service.
What is a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) and do I need one?
A Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) is required for landlords in the UK to ensure that gas appliances in their rental properties are safe for tenants. It is issued after an annual gas safety check by a registered engineer. If you’re a landlord, we can help ensure your property is compliant with safety regulations.
Do you offer services for landlords?
Yes, we provide a range of landlord services, including:
• Gas Safety Certificates (CP12)
• Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR)
• Energy Performance Certificates (EPC)
• Portable Appliance Testing (PAT)
• Plumbing and heating inspections

Can you install an accessible bathroom in my home?

How can I improve my home’s energy efficiency?
There are several ways you can improve your home’s energy efficiency:
• Upgrade to a more efficient boiler
• Install thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs)
• Add insulation to exposed pipes and areas of your home
• Install underfloor heating, which is more energy-efficient than radiators
