We work throughout the village and the surrounding hamlets — Folksworth, Norman Cross, Denton, Caldecote and Haddon among them — on everything from a leaking stopcock to a full heating system replacement. The village is a genuine mix. There are historic stone and brick properties along High Street and around the old coaching inns, many of them in the conservation area, alongside twentieth-century infill housing and newer developments on the village edge. Two houses a hundred yards apart can be two centuries and three heating technologies apart. Reaction Plumbing and Heating LTD has been trading since 2012, is Gas Safe registered under 540834, and is G3 qualified for unvented hot water cylinders — which matters in Stilton's larger period properties, where a cylinder-based system usually outperforms a combi. Quotes are free and normally with you within one working day. ### Stilton at a glance - Stilton and its neighbouring hamlets Stilton village plus Folksworth, Norman Cross, Denton, Caldecote and Haddon — all inside our home PE7 patch. - Ten minutes from our base One of the closest villages we cover.

There is no travel premium, and a Stilton call is as straightforward for us as one in Yaxley or Peterborough. ### Used to older buildings Period properties impose real constraints on flue termination, pipe routes and radiator positions. We resolve those at quoting stage so the fixed price is the real price. ### Whole job under one roof Gas work, heating, unvented cylinders and bathroom tiling are all done by our own four-person team, so there are no gaps between trades. ### Verifiable credentials Gas Safe 540834, G3 unvented qualified, City & Guilds / NVQ team, £5m public and £10m employers' liability insurance, 76 Checkatrade reviews, 1-year workmanship guarantee. Local property issues ## Typical Stilton property problems Old buildings and a hard water supply produce a distinctive pattern of heating and plumbing faults in this village. ### Solid stone and brick walls losing heat Period Stilton properties have no cavity to insulate and often retain original window openings. Rooms need more radiator output than a modern house of the same floor area, and systems sized without allowing for that never quite deliver. ### Flue routing restricted by the building Thick walls, conservation constraints and limited external elevations make boiler siting genuinely difficult in some village houses. It is solvable, but it needs deciding before the boiler is ordered, not after. ### Hard water scaling cylinders and showers The supply here is hard, and scale accumulates in immersion elements, unvented cylinders and shower valves. In houses with older cylinders it shows up as slow reheat times and pressure that fades over the years. ### Long pipe runs through cold voids Cottages and extended village houses often carry pipework through unheated roof spaces, outbuildings and porches. These runs freeze first and lose heat continuously if they were never properly lagged. Our process ## How a job in Stilton 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 Stilton in detail ### Getting the system right in a period property A combi boiler is the default answer in modern housing, but it is often the wrong answer in a larger Stilton property with two bathrooms, solid walls and an appetite for hot water at the same time in more than one place. A system boiler with a correctly sized unvented cylinder generally gives better simultaneous performance, and we are G3 qualified to install and certify that work. Installations start from £1,600 + VAT and are fixed before work begins. In conservation-area properties we confirm boiler position and flue termination at quoting stage, so the price you agree accounts for the real routing rather than an optimistic assumption. ### Radiators, heat loss and cold rooms Cold rooms in Stilton houses are usually an output problem rather than a boiler problem. Where an old radiator was sized for a room that has since been opened up, extended, or simply never assessed properly, no amount of turning the thermostat up will fix it. We calculate what each room actually needs, replace or resize radiators accordingly, and balance the system so the far end of the house heats at the same rate as the near end. Where the pipework is sludged, a power flush and a magnetic filter go in as part of the work rather than being sold separately later. ### Servicing, bathrooms and landlord certificates Annual servicing at £80 + VAT is worth booking early in a village where a January breakdown means a cold house in an exposed rural setting. It also keeps manufacturer warranty cover valid, which on a new installation can run up to 10 years depending on the boiler. Bathrooms in older Stilton houses often need reconfiguring rather than replacing like for like, and because we handle the plumbing and tiling ourselves that is one team and one fixed price. For village landlords, CP12 landlord gas safety certificates are £60 + VAT and issued promptly. Free, no-obligation quote ## Free quote in Stilton Tell us about the property and the problem.

We are also G3 qualified for unvented hot water cylinders, our team holds City & Guilds / NVQ qualifications, and we carry £5m public and £10m employers' liability insurance.

Older bathrooms often benefit from being reconfigured rather than simply refitted.
