Chard sits right on the border between Somerset and Devon, which means it falls comfortably within reach from our Dorchester base via the A30 and A358. A lot of the properties out here are rural or semi-rural: farmhouses, older cottages, places that were built before mains gas arrived and are still running oil systems. That matters, because oil boilers require a different skill set from gas, and not every plumber offers both.
Boiler repairs and honest advice
We get called out to boilers that other firms have looked at and recommended replacing. Sometimes replacement is the right call. Sometimes it isn't, and a repair costing a fraction of the price will give the boiler several more years of reliable use. We give you an honest assessment either way, because the alternative is the kind of business that doesn't get repeat customers or recommendations.
We're Gas Safe registered for gas boiler work, and we also cover oil boiler repairs, servicing and replacement for the properties around Chard that aren't on the gas network. Annual servicing is available for both fuel types.
Oil tank installation and maintenance
If your oil tank is getting old, corroded, or showing signs of leaking, it needs addressing before it becomes a much bigger problem. We install new bunded tanks on proper concrete bases, handle the decommissioning of old tanks safely, and connect everything correctly to the boiler and fuel supply. Good tank work is straightforward if it's done properly from the start.
General plumbing
Leaking pipes, radiator problems, low water pressure, tap repairs, cold water storage issues. We cover Chard and the surrounding area for the full range of plumbing work. Heating systems that aren't balanced, radiators that won't get hot, systems that are slow to warm up: we diagnose these properly rather than guessing. A powerflush and inhibitor dose solves a lot of slow-running systems at a reasonable cost.
What a Chard customer says
"Replaced an old boiler that other firms wanted to write off. Explained everything clearly, honest about what needed doing and what didn't. Genuine local trade business."
