Water pressure and hot-water issues
Low water pressure, inconsistent hot water or poor shower performance can be frustrating. These issues can have several possible causes, including the incoming water supply, plumbing layout, faulty valves, limescale, an undersized hot-water system or problems with the boiler or cylinder.
We can investigate the cause and recommend a suitable solution. This may involve repairs, pipework alterations, controls adjustments, pump installation or a wider upgrade to the heating and hot-water system.
Heating services in Essex
A reliable heating system is essential for comfort, particularly during colder months. Our heating engineers provide a full range of services to help keep your home or business warm, efficient and safe.
Boiler installation and replacement
If your boiler is old, unreliable or expensive to repair, a replacement may be the most sensible long-term option.
We install modern, high-efficiency boilers designed around the needs of your property. The right boiler depends on factors such as the number of bathrooms, hot-water demand, radiator system, available space and budget.
- We can advise on:
- Combi boilers
- System boilers
- Regular boilers
- Boiler upgrades
- Boiler relocations
- Smart heating controls
- Magnetic filters
- Scale reducers
- System flushing
- Heating-system upgrades
A new boiler should not simply be selected based on its output rating. It should be correctly matched to the property and installed with appropriate controls and system protection. We take the time to explain the options so that you can make an informed choice.
For ongoing care after installation, visit our Boiler Service Essex page.
Boiler repairs and breakdowns
A boiler breakdown can mean no heating, no hot water or both. We provide boiler fault-finding and repair services for a wide range of common problems.
Typical boiler issues include:
- No heating or hot water
- Boiler pressure dropping
- Error codes
- Leaking boilers
- Noisy boilers
- Frozen condensate pipes
- Faulty pumps or valves
- Ignition problems
- Thermostat and controls faults
- Radiators not heating correctly
We will investigate the fault and explain the likely cause before recommending a repair. If the boiler is beyond economical repair, we can also provide clear replacement options.
Boiler servicing and maintenance
Annual boiler servicing is an important part of keeping a gas boiler safe, efficient and reliable. It can help identify issues before they become major faults and may also be required to maintain the manufacturer warranty.
Our Gas Safe registered engineers provide boiler servicing for homeowners, landlords and property managers throughout Essex.

Radiators, heating controls and system upgrades
The boiler is only one part of a heating system. Radiators, valves, pumps, controls and pipework all affect how well your home heats up.
We can help improve heating performance with:
- Radiator replacements
- Thermostatic radiator valves
- Smart thermostats
- Zoned heating controls
- Heating-pump replacements
- Power flushing
- Magnetic filter installation
- System balancing
- Expansion-vessel checks
- Pipework upgrades
If some rooms are too cold while others are too warm, or if your heating takes a long time to respond, we can assess the system and recommend practical improvements.
Renewable heating and heat pumps
For homeowners who want to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels, renewable heating can be an excellent option.
West Essex Heating designs and installs air source heat pumps and supporting heating-systemupgrades. A heat pump can provide space heating and domestic hot water using energy taken from the outside air.
A successful heat-pump installation depends on careful planning. We assess the property’s heat loss, existing radiators, hot-water demand, insulation levels, controls and pipework before recommending a system.
Renewable heating may be suitable for homeowners who are replacing gas, oil or LPG systems, renovating a property or planning a new build.
Visit our Renewable Heating Systems Essex page to find out more about air source heat pumps, low-temperature heating design and potential grant support.
Air conditioning installation in Essex
Modern air conditioning systems can provide cooling in summer and efficient heating in cooler months. They are particularly popular for bedrooms, loft conversions, home offices, living spaces, garden rooms and commercial premises.
We install air-to-air heat pump systems for domestic and commercial customers. These systems can provide responsive temperature control and improve comfort throughout the year.
Our air-conditioning services include:
- Single-room air conditioning
- Multi-room air conditioning
- Bedroom air conditioning
- Loft-conversion cooling
- Home-office cooling and heating
- Office air conditioning
