Boiler installation, replacement and central heating in Hambrook, from a Gas Safe registered engineer under two miles away 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.
Hambrook is under two miles from our base in Staple Hill, which makes it one of the quickest calls Julian takes. He has been working on central heating in this part of South Gloucestershire for over forty years.
He is Gas Safe registered, reg. 198984, and a Worcester Bosch accredited installer, so a new Greenstar boiler carries up to a 12-year manufacturer guarantee. He also holds the unvented hot water and LPG qualifications.
Hambrook is a smaller village setting with a good mix of older stone properties, cottages along the lanes, and larger detached houses. Several sit on generous plots away from the main roads.
Some properties on the outskirts are not connected to mains gas and run on LPG instead. Julian is LPG qualified, which rules out a good number of heating engineers before you even start ringing round.
Under two miles from base, so a straight swap is usually a single day.
Properties on the outskirts that are off the mains gas grid are covered too.
Annual servicing keeps your guarantee valid. Landlord CP12 certificates also available.
A straight boiler swap in the same position is usually a single day, so you are rarely without heating or hot water for long. Moving the boiler or converting from a cylinder system to a combi takes longer and is priced after a look.
A full central heating installation takes four to five days depending on the size of the property, covering boiler, radiators, pipework and controls together.
Larger Hambrook houses with two or more bathrooms are usually better served by a system boiler and an unvented cylinder than by a combi that cannot supply two showers at once.
Landlords can book their annual CP12 certificate, and the same legal duty applies on LPG properties as on mains gas. Julian works Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm and weekend mornings, with no emergency or out-of-hours callouts.
Under two miles from Julian’s base in Staple Hill, so it is one of the quickest calls he takes. For a quote he can usually come out within a few days.
Yes. Julian is LPG qualified as well as Gas Safe registered, so properties on the outskirts running on LPG are covered, including installation, replacement and servicing.
Not at all, but it needs proper heat loss calculations. Solid walls lose heat far faster than cavity walls, and radiators sized from a chart come out too small.
A straightforward replacement is usually done in a day. A full central heating system takes four to five days depending on the size of your home.
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.
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.
Solid walls lose heat considerably faster than cavity walls. Getting radiator sizing wrong here is the usual reason a room never feels properly warm, so heat loss is calculated rather than taken from a chart.
Frequently two or more bathrooms, where a combi cannot supply two showers at once. A system boiler with an unvented cylinder is usually the better fit.
Properties set back down the lanes often have long runs between the boiler and the far end of the house, and older systems lose heat along the way. Insulating those runs and rebalancing often does more than replacing the boiler, at a fraction of the cost.
Several properties on the outskirts have never been connected. Julian holds the LPG qualification, which is a separate certification on top of Gas Safe that many engineers simply do not have.
We also cover Frenchay, Winterbourne, Downend, Staple Hill and Bradley Stoke. See all the areas we serve.
For Hambrook the qualification that matters most is LPG. Plenty of the properties down the lanes have never been connected to the mains, and LPG is a separate certification on top of Gas Safe registration that a good many engineers simply do not hold. Julian holds it, along with Gas Safe reg. 198984, the unvented hot water qualification and Worcester Bosch accreditation.
Hambrook is one of the closest places Julian works, which means a service or a repair can usually be fitted in at short notice. For properties down the lanes running on LPG, he is one of relatively few local engineers who can take the job on at all.
Hambrook is where the built up edge of Bristol gives way to the villages, and that boundary matters for heating. Not every property this side of it is on mains gas. Julian holds the LPG qualification as well as Gas Safe registration, which rules out a good number of engineers before you have finished ringing round.
