Central Heating for Older Gravesend Properties
Many of the older properties in Gravesend — the Victorian terraces in the town centre, the Edwardian streets near the river, the post-war council properties around Riverview Park — were built long before central heating was standard. Some were retrofitted with systems in the 1960s and 1970s that are now decades past their useful life. If you have an ageing system with an old back boiler behind a gas fire, a room-sealed boiler from the 1990s, or a tank-in-the-loft gravity-fed system, we can assess your options and recommend the most practical and cost-effective upgrade path. Modern combi boilers are highly efficient, take up less space, and deliver instant hot water without the cold water tank — which frees up the airing cupboard and loft space that older system boilers need.
Underfloor Heating
We install wet (hydronic) underfloor heating systems — particularly for new bathroom floors during bathroom installations, kitchen extensions, and ground floor renovations. Underfloor heating is increasingly popular in Gravesend's newer properties and extensions as it provides even, efficient heat without the visual impact of radiators. We design and install the pipework loops, connect to your existing or new boiler system, and commission the manifold and thermostatic controls.
How It Works
Free quote
Call 01474 554929 to discuss your heating requirements. For straightforward jobs (adding a radiator, installing a smart thermostat), we can often give you a price over the phone. For full system installations or power flushes, we'll visit the property to assess and provide a written quote.
Planned installation date
We agree a date that suits you. Full system installations and power flushes typically require a full day. Smaller jobs (radiator replacement, TRV fitting) are usually half a day or less.
Professional installation
Our engineers arrive on time, carry out the work with minimal disruption, and leave the property tidy. For larger jobs, we commission and test the full system before leaving.
