We cover the town along with the surrounding PE8 villages — Barnwell, Ashton, Cotterstock, Tansor, Fotheringhay, Warmington and Nassington among them. The town is largely stone-built and much of its centre is a conservation area, with substantial period houses along West Street, North Street and the Market Place, plus a good deal of Victorian and twentieth-century housing beyond the core and modern development on the outskirts. Many of the larger houses have accumulated bathrooms over the decades without the heating and hot water system ever being reconsidered as a whole. We are Gas Safe registered under 540834, G3 qualified for unvented hot water cylinders and have run as a family firm of four since 2012. In Oundle, more often than in the newer areas we cover, the right recommendation is a system boiler with a properly sized unvented cylinder rather than the combi that a smaller property would take. ### Oundle at a glance - Oundle and the PE8 villages The town plus Barnwell, Ashton, Cotterstock, Tansor, Fotheringhay, Warmington, Nassington and the surrounding Nene valley addresses. - Twenty minutes from base A short run west.

Read about Gas Checks & Capping Old Gas Supplies Why us ## Why Oundle properties need a considered approach ### System design, not just boiler swapping In a large stone house the important decision is the system type, not the badge on the boiler. We work out what the property and household actually need before quoting. ### G3 qualified for unvented hot water Mains-pressure hot water to several bathrooms at once needs a correctly sized unvented cylinder, which we are qualified to install and certify. ### One team through the whole job Gas work, heating, cylinders and bathroom tiling all in-house from a four-person family firm trading since 2012, with 76 Checkatrade reviews. ### Insured and guaranteed Gas Safe 540834, City & Guilds / NVQ qualified team, £5m public and £10m employers' liability insurance, and a 1-year workmanship guarantee. Local property issues ## Common heating problems in Oundle houses Stone construction, tall rooms and decades of alterations produce a distinct set of issues in this part of the Nene valley. ### Hot water failing under simultaneous demand Larger Oundle houses gained bathrooms one at a time, usually without upgrading the hot water source. A single combi that was adequate for one bathroom becomes visibly inadequate the moment two outlets run together. ### Solid limestone walls and tall ceilings Stone walls hold cold and high rooms hold volume. Radiators sized on floor area alone leave rooms permanently short of temperature, however long the heating runs. ### Flue and boiler siting in conservation areas Where a flue can terminate on a stone elevation in a conservation area is genuinely restricted, and an installation planned without checking that ends in an expensive change of approach mid-job. ### Hard water scaling cylinders and valves The supply is hard here, and scale steadily reduces cylinder recovery, blocks thermostatic shower valves and shortens the life of heat exchangers in properties without regular servicing. Our process ## How a job in Oundle runs 01 ### Call or send details Tell us the property, the postcode and what is wrong. Matthew or one of the team picks it up — you are not routed through a call centre. 02 ### Free quote, usually within 1 working day Quotes are free. Most are turned around within one working day, either over the phone for straightforward work or after a visit for boilers and bathrooms. 03 ### Fixed price agreed up front You get the price before anyone starts. Larger jobs are fixed-priced, so the figure you agree is the figure you pay unless you ask us to change the scope. 04 ### Booked around you We agree a date and an arrival window that suits the property, whether that is a tenanted flat, an occupied family home or a place you are selling. 05 ### Work done, tested and tidied Gas Safe registered engineers do the work, test it, talk you through it and clear up. It is backed by our 1-year workmanship guarantee. In detail ## Plumbing and heating in Oundle in detail ### Choosing the right system for a large property The most valuable part of an Oundle quote is usually the system decision. Where a house has two or three bathrooms in regular use, a system boiler paired with a correctly sized unvented cylinder will deliver mains-pressure hot water to more than one outlet at a time — something a single combi in a large stone property cannot do reliably. We are G3 qualified, so the cylinder work and its certification are ours as well as the boiler. Installations start from £1,600 + VAT and are fixed before work begins; the figure for a full system and cylinder installation is naturally higher and is set out in the free quote, with warranties of up to 10 years available depending on the boiler. ### Radiators, heat loss and balancing Cold rooms in Oundle houses are typically an output and balancing problem. Solid limestone walls, older glazing and ceiling heights above modern standard all raise the heat requirement well beyond what a floor-area estimate would suggest. We calculate room by room, replace or resize radiators where the numbers demand it, and balance the system so the far side of the house heats at a sensible rate. Where old pipework is sludged, power flushing and a magnetic filter are part of the work, not an optional afterthought — new boiler warranties depend on system cleanliness. ### Bathrooms, servicing and rentals in Oundle Bathroom work in Oundle frequently means adding or rebuilding an en-suite in a period house, where floor build-ups, wall thickness and drainage routes all have to be resolved before tiling begins. Handling both the plumbing and the tiling in-house keeps that as one job with one fixed price and one point of accountability. Annual servicing at £80 + VAT keeps warranty cover intact and gives early warning of scale and wear. For landlords in Oundle and the villages, CP12 landlord gas safety certificates are £60 + VAT and issued promptly.

We cover Oundle and the surrounding PE8 villages including Barnwell, Ashton, Cotterstock, Tansor, Fotheringhay, Warmington and Nassington. How quickly can you get to Oundle?Around twenty minutes from our base near Peterborough. Free quotes are usually turned around within one working day, and 24/7 emergency call-outs are available. Why does my hot water fail when two showers run?Usually because a single combi is being asked to supply more bathrooms than it was ever sized for, which is common in larger Oundle houses. A system boiler with a correctly sized unvented cylinder is normally the answer, and we are G3 qualified to install one. Do you charge extra because Oundle is in Northamptonshire?No. Servicing is £80 + VAT and CP12 certificates are £60 + VAT across our whole coverage area, county borders included. Can you work on period and conservation-area properties?Yes. Boiler siting, flue termination and pipe routing are worked out at quoting stage so the fixed price reflects what the building actually allows. Any listed building consent for external alterations is obtained separately by the owner. Are you available for emergencies in Oundle?Yes, 24/7 for genuine emergencies such as an uncontrolled leak or a complete heating failure. Call 07863 776312, and if you smell gas ring 0800 111 999 first. Are you Gas Safe registered and insured?Yes.

Can you add an en-suite in an older Oundle house?Yes. We handle the plumbing, drainage routing, tiling and finishing ourselves, which matters in period properties where floor build-ups and wall construction complicate the job.
