Gas Safe heating engineers in Herne Bay and across Kent

Yes. We're on the Gas Safe Register under number 523949, which you can verify on the Gas Safe Register website. We carry our cards and you're welcome to check them when we arrive.

Our workmanship is guaranteed for twelve months from the date we finish. On top of that, new boilers carry the manufacturer's own warranty, which runs up to ten years depending on the make and model you choose. As accredited Vaillant and Ideal installers we register that warranty for you on the day of the install, so there is nothing for you to fill in afterwards.

It depends on the make and size of boiler, the state of the existing system and how much pipework needs changing, so we quote every job individually. We'll look at the property, talk you through the options and give you a clear fixed price in writing, with no obligation.

If you let out a property in England you are legally required to have every gas appliance, flue and pipework checked every twelve months by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and to give the tenant a copy of the CP12 record within 28 days. We carry out landlord gas safety checks across Herne Bay, Whitstable, Canterbury and Faversham and have completed over 10,000 services and safety certificates, so we can usually fit you in quickly and keep you compliant.

Yes. Plenty of properties across rural Kent sit off the mains gas network and run on LPG instead. We install, service and certify LPG boilers, appliances and pipework to the same standard as natural gas work, and we can advise on whether converting an existing system is worthwhile.

A straight combi swap in the same position is usually a single day. Moving the boiler to a different room, converting from a conventional system with tanks and a cylinder to a combi, or fitting a full central heating system will normally take two to three days. We tell you honestly at the quote stage how long you will be without heating and hot water, and we do not leave a property without hot water overnight unless it is unavoidable and agreed with you first.

We are not a 24 hour callout service, but boiler breakdowns are prioritised over routine work during our normal hours of Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm. Ring us or send a WhatsApp with your postcode, the make of boiler and any fault code showing on the display, and we will tell you straight away when we can get to you.

Usually, yes. Older non-condensing boilers typically run at around 60 to 70 percent efficiency, so roughly a third of the gas you pay for is wasted. A modern A-rated condensing boiler runs at over 90 percent. The saving is larger still if we also balance your radiators, fit a magnetic filter and put decent controls in, because the system then only heats what you actually need.

Over the years sludge and corrosion debris build up inside radiators and pipework, creating cold spots at the bottom of radiators and making the boiler work harder. A powerflush circulates cleaning chemicals at high flow to clear that out. Most manufacturers require the system to be cleaned before a new boiler is fitted, and skipping it can invalidate the warranty, so we will tell you honestly whether yours needs it.

Yes. Alongside domestic heating we handle commercial gas for shops, offices, rented portfolios and other premises across Kent, including tightness testing, meters from U6 to U125 and unvented cylinders under G3. We also carry out gas inspection and audit work for a local authority.

Once a year. It's usually a condition of keeping your manufacturer's warranty valid, and it catches small faults before they turn into winter breakdowns. Ours is a full strip and clean, and we've completed over 10,000 services and safety certificates.

We're based in Herne Bay and cover Whitstable, Canterbury, Faversham and the villages in between, plus Thanet and Sittingbourne. If you're not sure, give us a ring or drop us a WhatsApp with your postcode and we'll tell you straight.

Yes. We guarantee our workmanship for 12 months, and new boilers come with the manufacturer's warranty on top, which runs up to 10 years depending on the make and model you choose. As accredited Vaillant and Ideal installers we register that warranty for you on the day, which a non-accredited fitter cannot do. We explain exactly what is covered before we start.
