Oil boiler install & service
OFTEC registered installation, annual servicing and repair of oil-fired boilers, including AGA-style range checks and tank condition advice at the same visit.
Services
Plumbing, heating and electrics, one firm, start to finish.
Every service below is delivered by a Gas Safe and OFTEC registered engineer based in Hexham, with certified domestic electrical work to match. No subcontractor roulette.
1 · Gas boilers
Boiler installation, servicing & repair.
Whether your boiler has given up mid-winter or you're planning ahead, we install modern A-rated boilers sized properly for your home, not just the model that's easiest to fit. Annual servicing keeps your warranty valid and your heating bills honest, and every job is done by a Gas Safe registered engineer in Hexham, not a franchise call centre.
- New boiler installation with honest repair-vs-replace advice first
- Annual boiler servicing for homeowners and landlords
- Breakdown diagnosis and repair, with parts explained in plain English
- Power flushing and system health checks for cold spots and kettling
2 · Bathrooms
Bathroom installations without the trade juggling.
A bathroom refit usually means chasing a plumber, an electrician and a fitter who've never met. Here it's one firm: we handle the strip-out, first and second fix plumbing, the electrics for showers, lighting and extractor fans, and coordinate tiling and finishing, so the job actually flows.
- Full bathroom and en-suite installations, design to handover
- Electric and mixer showers, wired and plumbed by the same team
- Heated towel rails and bathroom radiators
- Accessible and family-friendly layouts for long-term living
3 · Underfloor heating
Underfloor heating that suits old stone and new builds.
Wet underfloor heating runs at lower temperatures than radiators, which makes it a natural partner for heat pumps and modern boilers alike, and it frees your walls entirely. We design and install systems for renovations, extensions and new builds across the Tyne Valley, and we'll tell you honestly where it's worth it and where a radiator upgrade makes more sense.
- Wet underfloor heating installation, zoned room by room
- Retrofit options for renovations and extensions
- Smart thermostat zoning wired in by our own electrician
4 · Oil & LPG, off-grid heating
OFTEC oil boiler servicing across Northumberland.
Rural Tyne Valley homes run on oil and LPG, and they deserve the same standard of service as any town-centre gas job.
LPG systems
Full LPG heating installation and servicing for villages and properties beyond the mains, with safety checks and certification handled properly.
Off-grid planning
Weighing up staying on oil, switching to LPG, or making the jump to a heat pump? We'll lay out the real options for your property, see the comparison below.
Choosing a system
Gas vs. oil vs. heat pump: the honest version.
Every home is different, so treat this as a starting point. We'll give you numbers specific to your property in a free quote.
| What matters | Mains gas boiler | Oil boiler | Air source heat pump |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best suited to | Homes in Hexham, Prudhoe and towns on the gas main | Rural and off-grid properties with space for a tank | Well-insulated homes, renovations and new builds |
| Upfront cost | Lower | Moderate | Higher (grants may apply, ask us) |
| Running cost outlook | Tied to gas prices | Tied to oil prices; buy-ahead helps | Lowest per unit of heat when sized correctly |
| Servicing | Annual, Gas Safe registered | Annual, OFTEC registered | Light annual check |
| Future-proofing | Established, but fossil-fuel dependent | Reliable today; long-term costs uncertain | Strongest long-term position |
| Works off the gas grid | No | Yes | Yes |
5 · Renewables
Air source heat pumps, sized for Northumberland weather.
A heat pump that's sized wrong is a cold house and an expensive lesson, we've seen plenty fitted badly by firms chasing grant volume. We survey properly, insulate-first where it's needed, and install air source heat pump systems that hold their own in a Tyne Valley winter, pairing them with underfloor heating or upgraded radiators where it makes sense.
- Air source heat pump installation with a full heat-loss survey first
- Straight advice on grants and whether your home is ready
- System pairing: underfloor heating, cylinders and smart controls
6 · Electrical
Domestic electrical work & EICR inspections.
The same firm that plumbs your bathroom can wire it, safely and with the certificates to prove it. We handle domestic electrical installations across Hexham and the Tyne Valley, from a single socket to a full rewire, including the EICR safety reports landlords need for their tenancies.
- Full and partial rewires with minimal mess
- Fuse board (consumer unit) upgrades to current regulations
- Sockets, lighting design and outdoor power
- EICR inspections for landlords and home buyers in Hexham & Northumberland
