Boilers and heating in Blackfen

Across Blackfen (DA15) it is mostly boiler installs, powerflushing and lighting work in thirties semis and bungalows, plus air conditioning, gas safety certificates and the electrical work that goes with all of it. Blackfen is mostly interwar semis and detached houses, which means a boiler in a kitchen or a garage, microbore or early copper pipework under the floor, and a consumer unit that was modern in 1985. Every job starts with a look at the system rather than a price guessed over the phone.

No. Blackfen is on the doorstep, so there is no travel charge and a breakdown there can usually be seen the same day.

Yes. Blackfen is a short hop from the yard and is mostly thirties semis and bungalows on the same few streets. Give us a ring and we will tell you what we normally find on systems around Blackfen Road and what yours is likely to need.

It does. Most of Blackfen is thirties semi detached housing, so the pattern is familiar: boiler in the kitchen or the garage, pipework that is often microbore under a suspended floor, and radiators that were sized for a house with single glazing and no loft insulation. That usually means the radiators can be smaller than you expect once the house is insulated, but it also means the pipework has to be checked for sludge before a new boiler goes anywhere near it. The consumer units in these houses are frequently the original board with rewireable fuses, which is worth changing at the same time as the boiler while the floor is already up.

Yes, and that is the reason most people call us rather than two separate firms. The gas work, the heating, the air conditioning and the electrical side are all done by the same team, so a fuse board that cannot take a new circuit or a spur that needs moving for a boiler gets handled on the same visit in Blackfen instead of waiting for another trade to fit you in.

Blackfen is around 2 miles from the Bexley base, so no heat or no hot water there is usually a same day or next day visit. Ring rather than use the form if it is urgent, and say if there is a young child or an elderly resident in the house.
