Common questions
Common Questions About Our Work in Canterbury
Can you install central heating in a Canterbury property that does not currently have it?
Yes, our approved engineers carry out full central heating installations in Canterbury properties that currently rely on electric heating, storage heaters, or no fixed system. This includes selecting and installing a gas boiler, laying all the pipework, fitting radiators in every required room, and commissioning the system fully. Our approved engineers are Gas Safe registered and cover all of Canterbury.
How long does a central heating installation take in Canterbury?
A full central heating installation in a typical Canterbury home takes between three and seven days, depending on the size of the property, the number of radiators required, and whether any structural work is involved in running the pipework. We will give you a clear programme of work before work starts.
Do I need planning permission to have central heating installed in Canterbury?
In most cases, installing central heating in a Canterbury home does not require planning permission, as it is considered permitted development. However, if you live in a listed building or a property in a conservation area, there may be restrictions on certain types of installation or flue positions. We can advise on any constraints that apply to your specific property.
What size boiler do I need for my Canterbury home?
The right boiler size depends on the number of radiators, the hot water demand, and the size of the property. A boiler that is too small will struggle to heat the house efficiently; one that is too large will short-cycle and wear out faster. Our approved engineers will calculate the correct output for your Canterbury property and recommend accordingly, rather than fitting a standard size without assessment.
Can you add underfloor heating as part of a central heating installation in Canterbury?
Yes, underfloor heating can be incorporated into a new central heating installation in Canterbury, particularly in ground floor rooms where a new floor build-up is planned. A wet underfloor heating system runs from the same boiler as the radiators, using lower water temperatures for better efficiency. We can design the system to include both radiators and underfloor zones if that suits your property.
Can you clear blocked drains in Canterbury on the same day?
In most cases, yes. Drainage callouts are prioritised across Canterbury and can usually attend on the same day for urgent blockages. If you have standing water, an overflowing drain, or a toilet that will not flush, call us and we will aim to get someone to you as quickly as possible.
What causes blocked drains in Canterbury homes?
The most common causes of blocked drains in Canterbury properties are a build-up of grease and food debris in kitchen pipes, hair and soap in bathroom waste pipes, and in external drains, a combination of leaves, silt, and in older properties, tree root intrusion. Our approved engineers diagnose the cause properly before clearing the blockage.
Do you use high-pressure water jetting to clear drains in Canterbury?
Yes, high-pressure jetting is our primary method for clearing stubborn blockages and cleaning drain pipes thoroughly. It is effective on grease, silt, roots, and compacted debris, and leaves the pipe in a cleaner state than mechanical rodding alone. We use it safely and appropriately based on the condition of the drainage.
How can I tell if my drain is blocked rather than just slow?
A slow drain that takes a few seconds to clear is often a partial blockage or a build-up that will worsen over time. Signs of a more significant blockage include gurgling noises from other outlets when water is draining, unpleasant smells coming from the drain, or water backing up. If you notice any of these in your Canterbury property, it is worth getting it checked.
Do you offer CCTV drain surveys in Canterbury?
Yes, where the cause of a blockage is not immediately obvious, or where we want to check the condition of the drain pipe after clearing, we can carry out a CCTV drain survey. This lets us see exactly what is happening inside the pipe and identify any structural issues such as cracks, root ingress, or collapsed sections in your Canterbury drainage system.
