Our Services
Boiler Specialists Working Across Bexhill
A large share of our Bexhill work is boilers: replacing tired units with efficient modern combi and system boilers, repairing breakdowns, and carrying out the annual services that keep warranties alive. We are Worcester accredited installers and registered Ideal Connect installers, and we fit Vaillant too, so you get a properly installed, properly registered boiler from a brand that will still be supported in twenty years.
An ageing boiler does not just risk a breakdown. It quietly wastes money every day it runs. If yours is over twelve to fifteen years old, a free quote will tell you exactly what a replacement would cost and save.

Hastings & East Sussex
From Edwardian Terraces to Bungalows
Bexhill's housing runs from Edwardian and early twentieth-century homes through to the bungalows the town is well known for, plus plenty of newer builds. Each type asks different questions of a heating system. Bungalows often suit a combi with everything on one level, while larger period houses may need a system boiler and cylinder to feed multiple bathrooms.
We survey properly before recommending anything, and because we work in Bexhill regularly, the local property types are familiar territory rather than guesswork.

Help & Advice
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you really cover Bexhill-on-Sea from Hastings?
Yes, Bexhill is a short drive along the coast from our base and we are in the town most weeks. There is no travel surcharge, and response times for emergencies remain quick. We cover the whole town and its surrounding streets.
What would a replacement boiler cost me in Bexhill?
Most straightforward combi replacements come in at the low-to-mid four-figure mark, with system boilers and cylinder setups above that. The honest answer for your home comes from a free survey and written quote, which commits you to nothing.
Is a combi boiler right for a bungalow?
Very often, yes. With one bathroom and everything on a single level, a well-sized combi keeps things simple and frees up cupboard space by removing tanks and cylinders. If your household uses a lot of hot water at once, we might suggest otherwise, and we will explain why.
Can you service my boiler even if you did not install it?
Absolutely. We service and repair all major brands across Bexhill regardless of who fitted them. An annual service keeps the manufacturer's warranty valid on newer boilers and keeps older ones safe and efficient.
Do you offer emergency boiler repairs in Bexhill?
Yes. No heating or hot water is treated as a priority, especially in winter. Phone us on 07525 024973 rather than emailing and we will get an engineer to you as soon as possible.
Can you fit an accessible bathroom or walk-in shower?
Yes, accessible bathrooms are a service we are often asked for in Bexhill. Walk-in showers, level-access trays, grab rails and easy-use taps can all be designed in, whether as a single change or a full refit.
Who do you use for boiler brands, and why does it matter?
We mainly install Worcester Bosch, Vaillant and Ideal. These are brands with strong reliability records and proper parts support, and our accreditations with Worcester and Ideal mean the installation meets the manufacturer's own standards.
My radiators take ages to warm up. What is wrong?
Slow-warming radiators in an older system usually mean sludge build-up restricting circulation. A power flush clears it, and the difference is often dramatic. We can assess your system honestly first, because occasionally the fix is simpler and cheaper than a flush.
I rent out a property in Bexhill. Can you do the annual gas certificate?
Yes. We carry out CP12 landlord gas safety inspections across Bexhill with fast certificate delivery, and many landlords combine the CP12 with a boiler service in one visit to keep costs down.
How long does a boiler installation take?
A like-for-like combi swap is usually completed in a day. Converting from a system boiler to a combi, or relocating the boiler, typically takes two to three days. We confirm the timescale in your quote and stick to it.
Do you handle small plumbing jobs in Bexhill too?
Yes. Dripping taps, replacement radiators, towel rails, ball valves, leaks under the sink - none of it is too small. Many of our Bexhill boiler customers first called us for exactly these jobs.
