On our workmanship

Local coverage

Hampton is ten minutes from our door

Hampton sits between our PE7 base and Peterborough city centre, which makes it one of the easiest townships for us to reach. We work across Hampton Vale, Hampton Hargate, Hampton Centre, Hampton Water and the newer plots still being handed over, covering everything from a dripping outside tap to a complete boiler replacement.

Hampton is unusual among the places we cover because almost all of it was built from the late 1990s onwards, in phases. That means the housing stock is young, largely combi-boiler heated, and remarkably consistent street by street — but it also means large numbers of properties reached the end of their original boiler warranty and their first serious service interval at roughly the same time.

We are a Gas Safe registered family firm of four, trading since 2012 under registration 540834, and a good share of our Hampton work is second-owner properties: people who bought a ten to twenty year old house, inherited a builder-specified boiler with no service history, and want an honest assessment of whether to maintain it or replace it.

Why us

Why Hampton homeowners and landlords call us

We know the developer specifications

Hampton phases were built with repeating heating layouts. Having worked through many of them, we know where the boiler, filling loop and isolation valves usually are before we arrive.

Honest maintain-or-replace advice

Not every fifteen-year-old combi needs replacing, and not every one is worth repairing. You get the reasoning and the numbers, then you decide — a service is £80 + VAT, an install starts at £1,600 + VAT.

Local, not a national network

A family-run team of four trading since 2012 with 76 Checkatrade reviews. Same engineers, same phone number, no call-centre triage.

Fully credentialled

Gas Safe 540834, G3 unvented qualified, City & Guilds / NVQ qualified team, £5m public and £10m employers' liability insurance, 1-year workmanship guarantee.

Local property issues

What we get called out to in Hampton

Modern estate housing does not fail like Victorian housing. Hampton's problems are the problems of volume-built homes reaching their teens.

Original boilers out of warranty and out of service history

Builder-fitted boilers are specified to a budget and are frequently never serviced after the first year. By year ten to fifteen the fan, diverter valve or PCB starts giving trouble, and without a service record the manufacturer warranty is long gone.

Hard water damaging plate heat exchangers

Peterborough's hard water is unkind to combi boilers. Scale in the plate heat exchanger produces lukewarm showers that run hot and cold, and it is the single most common cause of hot-water complaints we see across Hampton.

Push-fit plumbing and concealed runs

New-build pipework often runs in floor voids and stud walls in plastic push-fit. It works well, but a poorly seated joint hidden under a floor can weep quietly for months before a ceiling stain gives it away.

Cold rooms after loft and garage conversions

Hampton properties are frequently extended into the loft or the garage. Adding heated rooms to a system that was sized precisely for the original layout leaves the new space cold and the rest of the house slower to warm up.

Replacing a builder-fitted boiler

The typical Hampton boiler replacement is a like-for-like combi swap, and where the pipework and flue routes are sound that keeps the job efficient. Where the original was undersized for a household that has grown, or where the property now has two bathrooms in regular use, it is worth sizing the replacement to what the house actually demands rather than what the developer specified.

Installations start from £1,600 + VAT as a fixed price, and we set out what is included — the boiler, the fitting, system cleaning or filter fitment where required, and the commissioning paperwork. Depending on the boiler chosen, manufacturer warranties of up to 10 years are available, which is a genuine asset if you sell the house later.

Servicing, repairs and hot water complaints

If your Hampton home has no service history, an £80 + VAT service is the sensible starting point. It confirms the boiler is safe and burning correctly, flags scale and seal wear early, and re-establishes a record for warranty purposes and for any future sale.

Fluctuating shower temperature, hot water that runs cold after a minute and steadily falling flow are all classic hard-water symptoms in combi-heated estate housing. We diagnose the actual cause — scaled exchanger, failing diverter valve, or a mains supply issue — before quoting, and the price is agreed before the work begins.

Bathrooms, en-suites and rentals

Hampton houses often have a family bathroom, an en-suite and a downstairs cloakroom, all fitted at the same time to the same specification and therefore all wearing out at the same time. We refit them properly — plumbing, tiling and finishing by our own team — so there is one contractor and one fixed price rather than three trades to coordinate.

Hampton also has a large rental market. Landlord gas safety certificates are £60 + VAT, can be combined with an £80 + VAT service in a single visit, and are issued promptly so tenancy paperwork is never held up.

Common questions

Hampton plumbing and heating questions

Which parts of Hampton do you cover?

All of it — Hampton Vale, Hampton Hargate, Hampton Centre, Hampton Water and the newer phases, plus neighbouring Peterborough and Yaxley.

How quickly can you get to Hampton?

Hampton is roughly ten minutes from our base in the PE7 area. Free quotes are usually turned around within one working day, and 24/7 emergency call-outs are available for genuine emergencies.

Why does my Hampton shower run hot then cold?

On combi-heated estate housing that is usually a scaled plate heat exchanger or a failing diverter valve, both common in a hard-water area. We diagnose it first and quote the actual fix rather than replacing parts speculatively.

Do you offer emergency call-outs in Hampton?

Yes, 24/7 for genuine emergencies such as uncontrolled leaks or total loss of heating in cold weather. Call 07921 123669. If you smell gas, ring 0800 111 999 first.

Can you do landlord gas safety certificates in Hampton?

Yes. CP12 certificates are £60 + VAT, issued promptly, and we can arrange access directly with tenants. Combining a CP12 with a service in one visit saves a second appointment.

Are you Gas Safe registered and insured?

Yes. Gas Safe register number 540834, G3 qualified for unvented cylinders, City & Guilds / NVQ qualified team, £5m public liability and £10m employers' liability insurance.

Can you fit an en-suite as well as a main bathroom?

Yes. We handle full bathrooms and en-suites including the tiling, so the whole room is one team's responsibility from strip-out to finish.

Is the work guaranteed?

Our workmanship carries a 1-year guarantee, and new boilers carry manufacturer warranties of up to 10 years depending on the model installed.
