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 Great Barr
Great Barr is overwhelmingly post-war and 1960s semi-detached and detached housing, much of it with heating systems that have been upgraded piecemeal over decades — a newer boiler on old pipework, mixed radiator sizes, no inhibitor and no filter. That combination is exactly what produces cold radiators, kettling boilers and repeated pump failures, and it is why we do a lot of power flushing and magnetic filter work in B43.
Where a homeowner is planning a new boiler on a system like this, we always price a flush alongside it rather than let a warranty claim be refused down the line.
Recent work in Great Barr
A Great Barr home whose old boiler had reached the point where repair no longer made sense: old appliance out, modern replacement in, system tested and commissioned the same day.
A Queslett semi had a boiler replaced three years ago that was already kettling. The old pipework had never been flushed, so the new boiler was fighting sludge from day one — a flush and filter fitted after the fact resolved it, though we'd have priced it in from the start given the chance.
A Pheasey homeowner mentioned two radiators had always been a bit cool. Rebalancing and a filter fixed both in a single visit.

Homes and heating in Great Barr
Great Barr is almost entirely semi-detached housing built between 1930 and 1960, split between three councils but one style of house. The classic Great Barr semi has a combi in the kitchen replacing an old floor-standing boiler, a cylinder cupboard that was never removed, and microbore or original steel pipework upstairs. Cold bedrooms with a warm landing is the usual complaint, and it is normally balancing and sludge rather than the boiler.
Great Barr borders our base in Handsworth Wood, so it is one of the nearest areas we cover for a breakdown. The Pheasey and Hamstead estates have a lot of ex-council houses now privately let, and we do a good deal of landlord work there: CP12 certificates, boiler services and the occasional cooker change between tenants.
