Eltham mixes Tudor history with 1930s suburbia — the period buildings around the High Street and Well Hall, the large inter-war semis off Court Road, and the post-war estates toward Mottingham. Most of our Eltham work is on the inter-war stock: removing the back boilers and gravity hot-water systems those houses were built with, and replacing them with modern combis and balanced, thermostatically-controlled heating that suits the rooms.

Eltham plumbing & heating FAQs
Our Eltham semi has a back boiler and the hot water keeps running cold — what's wrong?
It's usually either the back-boiler's three-way valve or the gravity hot-water controls failing — both age-related faults on inter-war set-ups. We diagnose the cause and, if the boiler itself is end-of-life, we'll quote a combi conversion that gives mains-pressure hot water and stops the problem for good.
We're in Eltham and our radiators need bleeding every week — what's causing it?
Frequent re-bleeding points to air getting in — often a minor leak or a failing pump on the older SE9 systems. We pressure-test, find the source and stop the air ingress rather than just topping up repeatedly.
