Plumbing and heating in Basingstoke

Basingstoke is the largest of Hampshire's expanded towns, and the scale of 1960s to 1980s housing here means a steady stream of systems reaching the end of their working life at the same time.

Popley, South Ham, Brighton Hill and Chineham were built out across those decades, and the housing is now at the point where the original pipework and a second-generation boiler are both near the end together. We commonly find sludge through the system, radiators sized for a draughtier version of the house, and alterations made over the years without anyone redesigning the whole thing.

Our preference in that situation is to correct the system rather than bolt a new boiler onto an old one. A new appliance on an unbalanced, silted system will not deliver what the efficiency rating promises, and it will not last as long as it should either.

Basingstoke also has more commercial work than most of the towns we cover, with the business parks, offices and industrial units around the town. We handle commercial installation, upgrades and ongoing maintenance alongside the domestic side.

Newer housing at Beggarwood, Kempshott and Lychpit is better insulated and worth assessing for a heat pump. We cover Basingstoke along with Chineham, Old Basing, Oakley, Overton and Sherfield on Loddon.
