Boiler installation, replacement and central heating in Yate, 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.
Yate sits north east of our base in Staple Hill, an easy run out through Westerleigh. Julian has been fitting and repairing central heating across South Gloucestershire for over forty years.
He is Gas Safe registered, reg. 198984, and a Worcester Bosch accredited installer, so every new Greenstar boiler carries up to a 12-year manufacturer guarantee. He also holds the unvented hot water and LPG qualifications.
Yate grew quickly from the sixties onwards, so much of the housing is postwar and later estate building, with a good deal of newer development towards Yate North and the edges. There are older properties around Yate Rocks and the original village core too.
Boilers fitted in the eighties and nineties are now well past their useful life, and a modern condensing replacement typically pays for a meaningful share of itself through lower gas use over the years that follow.

Properties on the outskirts and out towards the villages are covered too.
Annual servicing keeps your guarantee valid. Landlord CP12 certificates also available.
Boiler replacement is the bulk of the work. A straight swap in the same position is usually a single day, so heating and hot water are back on the same evening. Converting from a cylinder system to a combi takes about two days and frees up the airing cupboard.
A full central heating installation takes four to five days for a typical Yate family home, covering boiler, radiators, pipework and controls designed to work together.
Properties on the outskirts and out towards the surrounding villages are not always on mains gas. Julian is LPG qualified, so those homes are covered, which narrows the field considerably when you are ringing round.
Yate is at the outer edge of Julian’s service area, roughly six miles from base, so it is well within range but worth booking a little ahead rather than expecting same-day attendance.
Landlords can book the annual CP12 certificate. Julian works Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm and weekend mornings, with no emergency or out-of-hours callouts.

One thing that comes up repeatedly in Yate. Estate houses built to the same specification in the same year tend to develop the same faults at the same time, so if a neighbour has just had a heat exchanger fail there is a reasonable chance yours is on borrowed time too. That is not a sales pitch, it is just what happens when a street goes up in eighteen months. Booking a service before the autumn is the cheap way to find out where you stand.
Yate grew quickly, so much of the housing is postwar and later estate development, with newer building towards Yate North. Cavity walls and conventional layouts make these predictable to work on.
The original village core has stone and brick with solid walls, which need heat loss calculating properly rather than taken from a chart.

Properties on the outskirts and out towards the villages are not always on mains gas. Julian is LPG qualified, and covers Yate as standard with no distance surcharge.
We also cover Winterbourne, Emersons Green, Downend, Mangotsfield and Hambrook. See all the areas we serve.
Yate is far enough out that people often ring round several engineers before finding one who will travel. Julian covers it as standard, with no distance surcharge on the quote, and holds the LPG qualification for the properties beyond the estates that never got connected to the mains. Gas Safe reg. 198984, Worcester Bosch accredited.
Yate grew fast enough that whole streets went up in the same few years, which means whole streets are now reaching the point of needing their second boiler at roughly the same time. Booking a survey before the autumn rush is worth doing.
