From new boilers to full central heating systems, J K Morgan covers all your heating needs across Bristol, Gas Safe registered and Worcester Bosch accredited, with honest advice and up to a 12-year guarantee.
Almost all of Julian's work comes from repeat customers and recommendations. Over forty years, that is the only measure that means anything.
J K Morgan covers heating, boilers and gas work across Bristol. Julian is Gas Safe registered under reg. 198984, a Worcester Bosch accredited installer, and qualified for unvented hot water and LPG. Everything below is work he carries out himself.
Boiler installation and boiler replacement make up the bulk of the work. As an accredited installer, Julian fits Worcester Bosch Greenstar boilers with up to a 12-year manufacturer guarantee.
That takes in combi boiler installation for homes wanting instant hot water and no cylinder, and system boilers paired with an unvented hot water cylinder where two or more bathrooms need serving at once.
Annual boiler servicing covers every make and keeps your guarantee valid. Boiler repairs are Worcester Bosch only, which is a deliberate choice rather than a limitation.
Full central heating installation covers the boiler, radiators, pipework and controls designed as one system. Central heating work also includes upgrades, system conversions and putting right systems that have never been properly balanced.
Radiator installation covers replacements, additions and relocations, sized to the room rather than the wall space available.
As a gas engineer, Julian carries out gas safety inspections on every appliance in a property, and issues landlord gas safety certificates for rented homes.
Gas cooker and hob installation is covered, including the bayonet point and stability bracket. Gas leak detection traces escapes on pipework, joints and appliances.
For properties off the mains gas grid, LPG boiler installation, replacement and servicing are all available.
No general plumbing, bathrooms, toilets or taps. No water leaks. No power flushing as a standalone service, no boiler finance, and no emergency or out-of-hours callouts. Julian would rather turn a job down than take it on outside what he knows properly.
All work is carried out across Bristol and roughly ten miles around Staple Hill. See the areas we serve for the full list.

Whichever route suits, the starting point is the same. Call Julian on 07831 718509 for a free survey and a fixed quote with no obligation. He covers Bristol and roughly ten miles around Staple Hill, Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm and weekend mornings.
Julian comes out, looks at the property, the existing system, your mains water pressure and how the household actually uses hot water, then sets out the options honestly.
Covering everything: the boiler, all labour, the system flush, a magnetic filter, removal and disposal of the old unit, commissioning, Gas Safe notification and registration of the manufacturer guarantee. Nothing is added afterwards.
Plenty of customers take a quote, think about it for a few months and come back when they are ready. That is fine, and it is how most of this business has been built.
Dust sheets go down before anything is touched. A straight boiler swap is usually a single day, a full system four to five. The old boiler and any redundant cylinder or tanks are taken away, and the house is left clean.
The controls are set up and explained properly rather than left with a manual on the side. Julian stands behind his own workmanship as well as the manufacturer warranty, and will come back if anything needs putting right.
Cash or bank transfer on completion. Julian does not offer boiler finance or credit, which keeps things simple and means there is no commission built into the price you are quoted.
If it is a Worcester Bosch, start with a repair. Julian will diagnose the actual fault and tell you honestly whether fixing it makes sense, rather than reaching for a replacement quote.
The problem is usually radiators or balancing rather than the boiler. Radiator work often transforms an older property for a fraction of the cost of a new system.
If two showers cannot run at once, the answer is a change of system type rather than a bigger boiler. That means a system boiler and an unvented cylinder.
A full central heating installation is the honest answer. Julian will say so, and equally will say when it is not necessary.
If nothing is wrong but you want to keep it that way, that is annual servicing. It also keeps most manufacturer guarantees valid, which matters more than people expect when a fault appears in year eight.
If you let the property out, you additionally need a landlord gas safety certificate. It is a different document covering different ground, and it is a legal requirement every twelve months.
Julian will regularly recommend the smaller job. If new radiators and a proper balance will transform your house for a fraction of what a full system costs, he will say so rather than quoting the bigger piece of work. That is why the business runs on repeat customers rather than advertising.
Boiler quotes are notoriously hard to compare because two prices for the same unit can cover very different amounts of work. Everything below is inside the price rather than added afterwards, which is worth checking line by line against anything else you have been quoted.
Years of sludge and corrosion debris sit in an older system. Putting a new boiler onto a dirty system is the quickest way to block a heat exchanger, and most manufacturers will decline a guarantee claim where no filter was fitted. Both are standard here.
The old boiler goes, along with any redundant cylinder, feed tank and expansion tank in the loft where a conversion is involved. Taking those away is part of the job rather than something left for you to arrange.
The boiler is commissioned to the manufacturer's procedure, the installation is notified to Gas Safe, and the guarantee is registered with Worcester on your behalf. You receive the paperwork rather than a promise to send it on.
Timers and thermostats are configured before Julian leaves, and explained properly rather than left with a manual on the worktop. A well set up control does more for a heating bill than most people expect.
Boilers overwhelmingly fail in the first genuinely cold week of the year, because that is the first time all winter the system is asked to work hard. Every engineer in Bristol is busy in that week, which is the worst possible moment to be choosing a replacement under pressure.
If a boiler is limping rather than dead, or if it has needed two repairs in the same year, late summer and early autumn are the sensible time to deal with it. Availability is better, you are not making a decision in a cold house, and there is time to consider whether a different system type would suit the household better rather than simply replacing like with like.
The services below are grouped into four sections. Pick the one closest to your problem and it will take you to the individual jobs underneath it.
Boiler installation, replacement, servicing and breakdown repair. Combi, system and conventional, sized from a survey rather than a chart.
Full systems, radiator work and unvented hot water cylinders. Also where to look if one room never quite warms up.
Safety inspections, landlord certificates, gas cookers, LPG and gas leak detection. Gas Safe registered under 198984.
Water heaters, cylinder replacement, immersion heaters and hot water faults. No bathrooms, taps or toilets.
