We work on heating and gas across Wimbledon, from the Village and the conservation streets down through Wimbledon Park, Raynes Park and South Wimbledon. A great many of the houses here are large Victorian and Edwardian properties that have been extended at least once, and heating them evenly is harder than it looks from the outside.
The usual pattern is a house where a loft conversion or a rear extension has added radiators to a circuit that was never designed to carry them. The far end of the system then never really warms up, and turning the boiler up simply overheats the rooms nearest to it.
We cover the full range of heating work in Wimbledon: boiler installations, boiler repairs, boiler servicing and central heating. You can also read more about our heating services across Surrey and south west London.
We repair boilers throughout SW19 and SW20, in family houses, converted flats and rented property alike. Where a boiler keeps failing in the same way we look for the underlying reason rather than repeating the repair, because a recurring fault is usually the system telling you something about circulation or water quality.
In a large Wimbledon house a combi is often the wrong choice, and a system boiler with a properly sized cylinder will serve the property far better. We survey the house, look at how the hot water is actually used, and recommend on that basis. In conservation areas we also work within the restrictions that apply to flue positions and external pipework.
We service boilers across Wimbledon and issue gas safety certificates for landlords and letting agents. With a good deal of rented property in the area we are used to arranging access with tenants directly and returning the certificate quickly once the check is done.
For a big or extended house, zoning is usually the answer to uneven heating. Splitting the property into separately controlled areas means you heat the rooms in use rather than the whole house, and it fixes the cold-far-end problem properly. We also rebalance existing circuits, power flush where the system needs it, and add radiators where an extension has been left short.
Our emergency engineers cover Wimbledon 24 hours a day. In older properties a heating leak can travel a long way through the structure before anyone notices it, so if you can see damp appearing near pipework it is worth calling straight away. See our 24 hour emergency plumber page for what we cover out of hours.
