Plumbing and heating in Southampton

Southampton has the most varied housing stock we work across, and a rental market large enough that a good share of our work here is for landlords and agents rather than owner-occupiers.

The range runs from Victorian terraces in Portswood, Freemantle and Bevois Valley, through 1930s semis in Bitterne and Shirley, to post-war estates and modern apartments at Ocean Village and in the city centre. Each brings a different set of constraints, and there is no single approach that covers them.

The rental sector around the universities means Landlord Gas Safety Records, tight turnarounds between tenancies and houses in multiple occupation with more appliances and more access requirements than a standard let. We are used to working to a changeover date rather than an open-ended timescale.

Apartments are their own discipline. Flue routing is often the limiting factor, plant space is minimal, some blocks run communal systems, and almost all of them need freeholder or managing agent consent before anything changes. We will assess what is physically possible first, so you are not chasing permissions for an installation that was never going to fit.

We cover the city and the surrounding suburbs including Portswood, Highfield, Shirley, Bitterne, Woolston, Bassett, Millbrook and Weston.
