Quick answer
We cover Edgbaston, B15 and B16, including the Calthorpe Estate and the apartment blocks along Hagley Road. Period villas here usually need system boilers and properly sized radiators rather than a combi.
Edgbaston's large Victorian villas and conservation-area rules make it one of the more technically demanding parts of the city to heat well — flue positions, external pipework and radiator sizing all need thinking about rather than defaulting.

Smell gas now? Do not use this form or wait for a reply. Call the National Gas Emergency Service free on 0800 111 999 (24 hours). If you are using a mobile, make the call from outside. Open doors and windows, do not switch electrics on or off, do not smoke or use naked flames, and turn the gas off at the meter if it is safe to do so, unless the meter is in a cellar or basement. Once the supply has been made safe, we can trace and repair the fault.
Heating work in Edgbaston
In the big Calthorpe Estate houses a single combi is almost never the right answer. High simultaneous hot water demand, long pipe runs and considerable heat loss point to a system boiler with a properly sized unvented cylinder. We survey and calculate rather than working from bedroom count.
The Hagley Road apartment blocks are a different job again: flue termination points, access, and landlord or management company permissions all shape what is possible. We have worked in most of them and know what tends to be approved.
Recent work in Edgbaston
October 2026: an emergency gas leak, sorted the same day. Existing customers smelt gas upstairs and Cadent capped their supply after a 20 mbar drop on the internal pipework. We traced the leak to old steel gas pipe, capped it off, tightness tested and had their heating and hot water back the same day. Read the case study, with photos.
September 2026: a Vitodens strip-down and cylinder service. Full strip-down on an ageing Viessmann Vitodens 100-W, heat exchanger cleaned, plus the annual service on the unvented cylinder we fitted last year, both on one visit. Read the case study, with photos.
A landlord's gas hob replaced, June 2026. A worn-out five-burner hob in an Edgbaston rental kitchen swapped for a new one: disconnected, fitted into the existing cut-out, connected in copper, tightness tested and every burner checked in one visit. Read the case study, with photos.
An Ideal Logic L2 fault in Edgbaston turned out to be more than a lockout: combustion readings showed dangerous carbon monoxide levels. We made the boiler safe immediately, traced the fault to the gas valve and injector, fitted replacements and fully recommissioned it — exactly why a proper analyser matters on every boiler repair.
A leaking 300-litre unvented cylinder in Edgbaston had corroded internally beyond economic repair. We sourced a matching 300L replacement, swapped it over and had hot water back the same weekend.
A Calthorpe Estate villa needed a boiler that could cope with three bathrooms running at once — no combi on the market does that reliably. A full survey led to a system boiler and a properly sized unvented cylinder instead.
A Hagley Road apartment needed management company sign-off before any flue work could go ahead. We put together the technical drawings they asked for and the job went ahead without delay.

Homes and heating in Edgbaston
Edgbaston is unlike the rest of Birmingham for heating. Large Victorian and Edwardian villas, many divided into flats, mean system boilers with hot water cylinders, long pipe runs, radiators on three or four floors, and often more than one boiler in the same building. Balancing and controls matter more here than anywhere else we work, and an unvented cylinder that is past its best is a common reason we are called to a Calthorpe Estate house. See hot water cylinder repairs.
Along the Hagley Road and around Five Ways the stock is purpose-built apartment blocks and converted houses let to professionals and students, so much of our Edgbaston work is for landlords: CP12 certificates, hob and cooker changes between tenancies like the Edgbaston gas hob replacement we wrote up, and repairs when a tenant reports no hot water.
