Bexley keeps something of its old village character — period cottages and Victorian villas around the High Street and Manor Road, with 1930s semis spreading out toward Bexley Village and Crook Log. The older riverside stock tends to have cast-iron pipework and gravity hot-water tanks, while the inter-war houses often still hide back boilers; we handle both, modernising heating sensitively so period features aren't disturbed and the system runs to current Gas Safe standards.

Bexley plumbing & heating FAQs
Our Bexley cottage has old lead pipework — does it need replacing before a new boiler?
Not always, but if the rising main is lead and the cold flow is poor we'd recommend renewing it so a new combi gets the mains pressure it needs. We'll inspect the pipework and show you exactly what must change — and what can stay — before we quote.
Our Bexley home has a cold-water tank in the loft — can we go mains-fed?
Often yes — we remove the gravity tank and run a mains-fed combi or unvented cylinder, giving better pressure and freeing up the loft, provided your incoming DA5 mains flow is adequate (which we test first).
