Boiler installation, replacement and central heating in Filton, from a Gas Safe registered engineer based in Staple Hill.
Almost all of Julian's work comes from repeat customers and recommendations. Over forty years, that is the only measure that means anything.
Filton is a straightforward run north west from our base in Staple Hill. Julian has been fitting and repairing central heating across north Bristol for over forty years.
He is Gas Safe registered, reg. 198984, and a Worcester Bosch accredited installer, so every new Greenstar boiler comes with up to a 12-year manufacturer guarantee. He also holds the unvented hot water and LPG qualifications.
Filton’s housing is dominated by interwar and postwar family homes, much of it built for workers at the aerodrome and the aircraft factories. Long rows of semis and short terraces, mostly three bedrooms, with cavity walls and reasonable proportions.
Houses of that age and type are well suited to a combi boiler, and a straight swap is usually simple. What they often carry is original pipework and radiators from decades ago, which is where the real gains sit. New radiators sized properly will frequently make more difference than a bigger boiler.
A straight swap is usually a single day, so the house is warm again by the evening.
Filton homes often have original radiators. New ones frequently do more than a new boiler.
Annual servicing keeps your guarantee valid. Landlord CP12 certificates also available.
Most Filton jobs are boiler replacements. A straight swap in the same position is a single day, so the house is warm again by the evening. Converting from an old cylinder system to a combi usually takes two days and frees up the airing cupboard and the loft.
Every installation includes a system flush and a magnetic filter. Decades of sludge in old pipework is the fastest way to ruin a new heat exchanger, and the filter also protects the manufacturer guarantee.
Where radiators are the original single panel type, swapping them for modern double panel units often makes a bigger difference to comfort than anything else, and costs far less than a full central heating installation. Julian will tell you when that is the better spend.
Landlords with property in Filton can book the annual CP12 certificate, and Julian is happy to arrange access with tenants directly. He works Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm and weekend mornings, with no emergency or out-of-hours callouts.
Yes, and out towards Patchway and Bradley Stoke. Filton is a straightforward run north west from Julian’s base in Staple Hill.
Often, yes. Original single panel radiators put out far less heat than modern double panel units. Julian will tell you honestly when that is the better spend.
A straightforward replacement is usually done in a day. Converting from an old cylinder system to a combi takes about two days and frees up the airing cupboard.
Most combi boiler replacements start from around £2,000, depending on the boiler and your home. You get a clear, fixed quote before any work begins.
Yes. The old boiler, cylinder and tanks are removed and disposed of as part of the job, and the house is left clean and tidy.
No. Julian works Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm and weekend mornings. If you smell gas, call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999.
Long rows of interwar and postwar semis and short terraces, mostly three bedrooms, built for workers at the aerodrome and the aircraft factories. Cavity walls and sensible proportions make them straightforward to work on.
Single panel radiators from decades ago put out far less heat than a modern double panel unit of the same size. Replacing them and balancing the system frequently makes more difference than a bigger boiler would.
Filton's streets were laid out together and the houses have barely changed shape since. A heating problem in one is usually the same problem in the next, which means it gets diagnosed quickly.
Every installation includes a system flush and a magnetic filter. Decades of accumulated sludge is the fastest way to ruin a new heat exchanger, and the filter also protects the manufacturer guarantee.

Filton is close enough to base that a service or a small repair can be slotted in without a half-day charge attached, which matters when the job is a forty pound part rather than a new boiler. Julian is Gas Safe registered under reg. 198984 and a Worcester Bosch accredited installer, so a new Greenstar here carries up to a 12-year manufacturer guarantee.
Filton’s streets were laid out for aircraft workers and the houses have barely changed shape since. That consistency is useful, because a heating problem in one of them is usually the same heating problem in the next one along, and it gets diagnosed quickly.
Because Filton's streets were laid out together and built to the same specification, a heating fault in one house is very often the same fault as the one three doors down. That shortens the time spent working out what is wrong, and it is one of the practical advantages of using an engineer who has worked these streets for decades.
