Heating and plumbing for Southampton

Working in Southampton

We cover Southampton, particularly the eastern side of the city, including Woolston, Sholing, Bitterne, Thornhill, Hedge End and West End, as well as further into the city for installations and landlord work.

Reaching Southampton

Southampton is reached from Fareham along the M27. We work 7am to 10pm, every day, so appointments can be arranged at convenient times. We don't offer out-of-hours call-outs.

Southampton's homes

Southampton has a wide mix of properties: Victorian terraces around Portswood and Shirley, inter-war semis, post-war council estates in Thornhill and Weston, and large modern developments in areas like Hedge End. Many older homes are converted into flats or shared houses, which creates strong demand for landlord gas safety checks. Post-war estates often have original heating systems ready for replacement.

Southampton requests

Landlord gas safety certificates, boiler replacements and combi conversions, central heating upgrades, radiator replacements and general plumbing.

Heating for Southampton's shared homes

Southampton has a large number of rented and shared homes, and heating systems in these properties work hard. Getting the boiler size and hot water setup right makes a real difference to tenants and running costs. We'll look at occupancy, bathrooms and water pressure, then recommend a system that suits the property, whether that's a high-output combi or a system boiler paired with an unvented cylinder we're G3 qualified to install.

Local issues

Common problems in Southampton homes

Shared houses and HMOs

Student and shared housing puts heavy demand on boilers and hot water, so correctly sized systems matter.

Ageing estate systems

Post-war estates often still run original pipework and radiators that heat unevenly.

Hard water

Limescale is a common issue locally, affecting boiler efficiency and hot water systems.

Low shower pressure

Older gravity-fed systems in terraced homes often give weak showers, which unvented cylinders or combis can solve.

Excellent service from Alex and Jamie. We recently asked them to switch us from a system boiler to a Combi boiler, and re-siting it in the loft. They were clean, professional and their craftsmanship was spot on. Glad I've now found a plumber I can trust. Thanks guys!!

Brilliant job done by Alex of fitting a new shower cubicle in our house. Very tidy and thorough worker who went above and beyond to ensure that we were left with a shower room that we are proud of. Many thanks from a very happy customer. Would thoroughly recommend.
