Kirkby-in-Ashfield sits about five miles south west of us, just off junction 27 of the M1, and the whole of the NG17 side of the town is well inside our patch.

Like Mansfield and Sutton, Kirkby is a former mining town and the housing stock reads that way. Terraced rows from the colliery years around the older parts of the town, big inter-war and post-war estates, and then a lot of newer building out towards the M1 and around Kirkby Woodhouse and Nuncargate. Each brings its own heating job. The older terraces commonly have an undersized gas run that was never upgraded when the back boiler came out, which is the single most common reason a new boiler locks out on a cold morning: the appliance is drawing more gas than the pipe can deliver. We check the supply and size it properly rather than fitting the boiler and hoping.

The newer estates are usually clean combi work, but a fair number were built with the smallest compliant boiler and no system filter at all. Adding a magnetic filter and giving the system a proper clean is often the cheapest thing you can do to make a ten year old boiler behave, and it is a fraction of the cost of replacing it.

We cover Kirkby town, Kirkby Woodhouse, Nuncargate, Annesley, Annesley Woodhouse and the streets around Kingsway. Eight to five, Monday to Friday.

Frequently asked questions

Which parts of Kirkby-in-Ashfield do you cover?

Kirkby town, Kirkby Woodhouse, Nuncargate, Annesley and Annesley Woodhouse, plus the streets around Kingsway and out towards junction 27. Ring 01623 354 884 if your road is not obviously on that list.

My new boiler keeps locking out. What causes that?

In the older Kirkby terraces it is very often the gas supply rather than the boiler. When a back boiler comes out and a modern combi goes in, the new appliance frequently draws more gas than the existing pipe run can deliver, and it shuts down under load on a cold morning. We check and size the supply as part of any installation.

How much is a boiler service?

£80 including VAT for a combi. A landlord gas safety certificate including the service is £120. Both are on our published price list, which is on the site.

Is it worth adding a filter to an existing boiler?

Frequently yes, and it is one of the cheapest useful things you can do. A lot of the newer estate housing round here was built with no system filter at all. A magnetic filter and a proper clean will often settle a boiler that has been playing up, for a fraction of the cost of replacing it.

Do you install heat pumps in Kirkby?

Yes, and we service them. Whether your house suits one depends on how well it holds heat and how big the radiators are rather than on where it is. We do a room by room heat loss calculation and give you a straight answer, including the answer that you would be better off insulating first.

Do you charge more for coming out to Kirkby?

No. We do not price by postcode. The published prices are the same wherever we work.
