Honest, good-value heating from a Gas Safe team that looks after homes across Byker week in, week out. Whether it's a tired boiler that needs replacing, a breakdown that can't wait or a landlord certificate that's due, we give straight advice and a fixed price agreed before we lift a spanner.
This is a part of Newcastle we've come to know well, from the rows of traditional terraced streets running back off Shields Road to the flats and maisonettes of the famous Byker Wall estate and the newer homes tucked in towards the Ouseburn. It's a mix of owner-occupiers and rented properties, and plenty of households here keep a careful eye on what they spend — so good value matters as much as a job done right.
Knowing the area means we turn up ready for what we'll find. The housing round here leans towards older brick-built terraces and flats, often with heating that's been patched up over the years rather than properly looked after. We're used to that, and we'll always tell you honestly whether a repair makes sense or whether your money is better spent on a replacement — no pressure either way.
One trusted team can handle everything your heating and hot water need, which saves you lining up separate trades every time something goes wrong.
We fit A-rated combi, system and conventional boilers from the leading makes, sized properly for your home and covered by warranties of up to ten years. If an old unit is costing you a fortune to run, our boiler installation page runs through the choices in plain English.
Lost your heating or hot water, watching the pressure drop or staring at a fault code? We track down the cause and put most faults right on the first visit. Our boiler repair service covers the breakdowns we see most often.
A yearly service keeps your boiler running safely and efficiently, protects the warranty and flags any wear before it turns into a cold-weather call-out — money well spent on an older appliance.
We also upgrade central heating systems and fit radiators and controls, clear years of sludge with a power flush to bring cold radiators back to life, and carry out gas safety checks and landlord certificates.
Much of the housing here is well into middle age, and that shows up in the heating. The single most common thing we find is a system clogged with sludge — black, gritty water that collects in the radiators and pipework of older terraces and flats over the years. It leaves radiators cold at the bottom, makes the boiler clatter and bang on start-up and pushes up your bills as the pump fights to move the water around. A power flush usually sorts it.
The other frequent caller is an ageing boiler that's reached the end of its life — struggling to hold pressure, cutting out, or simply too thirsty for gas to be worth keeping. On a tight budget that's a hard moment, so we're straight with you about whether a repair will see you through another winter or whether a modern condensing boiler will pay for itself in lower running costs. Whatever we recommend, we explain why.
Working close by means we can usually reach you fast, and that counts for everything when the heating quits on a bitter morning. For breakdowns and emergencies we aim to be with you the same day wherever we possibly can. For planned jobs like a new boiler or a service, we'll book a time that suits you and keep you posted, so you're not sat in waiting half the day wondering where we've got to.
With so many rented houses and flats across the area, a good share of our work is for local landlords and letting agents. We carry out the annual gas safety check, issue your CP12 certificate and put right anything that needs attention to keep appliances safe and legal. We fit the visit around your tenants with the least fuss possible and get the paperwork back to you promptly, so your lettings stay compliant without the hassle.

That's usually sludge built up inside an older system, which is very common in the area's terraces and flats. A power flush clears it out and gets the radiators heating evenly again. We'll confirm the cause before recommending anything.
