There is also a large rental market linked to the university.

Common issues
Heating problems we see in Durham homes
Period and conservation properties
Older city-centre homes often have restrictions on where flues and pipework can go. Planning the boiler position and flue route carefully is essential.
Student and rental homes
Rented properties need annual gas safety checks, and boilers in shared houses work hard. Regular servicing keeps them reliable.
Off-grid village homes
Some rural homes around Durham are not on mains gas. We are LPG registered and accredited for air source heat pumps.
Older colliery-village systems
Heating in former mining villages has often been extended over decades, leading to sludge and cold rooms that a powerflush or upgrade can fix.
Choosing a boiler
Which boiler suits your Durham home?
No single boiler is right for every home in Durham. The right choice depends on the size of the property, how many bathrooms it has, your mains water pressure and where the boiler can go. We check all of this on the survey before recommending anything.
Combi boilers
Combis heat water on demand straight from the mains, so you do not need a cylinder or loft tank. They suit flats and small-to-medium homes in Durham with one main bathroom and good water pressure, and they free up cupboard space.
System boilers with an unvented cylinder
For larger Durham homes with two or more bathrooms, a system boiler heating an unvented cylinder supplies several taps and showers at once at mains pressure. Our engineers are G3 certified to install them.
Regular boilers
Many older properties around Durham still have a regular boiler with a cylinder and a loft tank. Replacing it like-for-like can be the simplest option when the existing pipework is designed around it.
LPG boilers and heat pumps
For homes near Durham that are off the gas grid, we are LPG registered and an accredited air source heat pump installer, so we can compare both options honestly.
We are an accredited installer with Baxi, Worcester Bosch, Ideal and Vaillant, so you get a straight comparison between leading brands rather than one manufacturer's range. We clean the system where needed, fit good controls, and register the manufacturer's warranty on every boiler we install in Durham, alongside our own 12-month warranty on the work.
