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 Handsworth Wood
Handsworth Wood is dominated by large interwar semis and substantial Edwardian villas along Hamstead Road and Church Lane, many of them converted into flats or run as HMOs. Two patterns follow from that. First, a lot of these houses still have original open-vent systems with a cylinder in the airing cupboard and a tank in the loft — prime candidates for a combi conversion. Second, the density of rented and multi-occupied property means a steady stream of CP12 certificates and multi-appliance checks.
The larger villas often need more boiler output than owners expect. We size on heat loss rather than bedroom count, which matters a great deal in a solid-walled house of that age.
Recent work in Handsworth Wood
Handsworth, October 2026: an H09 fault on a Worcester Greenstar 30i ErP. We diagnosed a faulty circuit board and, with the board on the van, had the customer back up and running in one visit. Read the case study, with photos.
An emergency installation in Handsworth Wood: the old boiler was beyond repair, so we removed it and installed a new Worcester Bosch, tested and commissioned, restoring heating and hot water without the family waiting days.
A Glow-worm in Handsworth showing F75 — the pressure sensor had failed. The replacement was already on the van, fitted and tested in one visit.
A Hamstead Road villa split into three flats had one tenant with no hot water while the other two were fine. It turned out to be an isolated fault on one branch of a shared system — we traced it without disturbing the other flats.
A landlord with four HMOs across B20 asked us to bring every CP12 onto the same renewal date. We staggered the visits over a fortnight, and now the whole portfolio renews together each year.

Homes and heating in Handsworth Wood
Handsworth Wood is where we are based, at 1 Coopers Road, B20 2JS, so it is the area closest to us. The housing is a mix of large 1920s and 1930s semis and detached houses along Handsworth Wood Road and Church Lane, and older Victorian terraces closer to Soho Road and Holyhead Road. The bigger houses tend to have system boilers and cylinders with a lot of radiators; the terraces are almost all combis.
Handsworth has one of the highest concentrations of privately rented houses and HMOs in Birmingham, so landlord gas safety certificates are a large part of our local work, often bundled with a boiler service on the same visit. Being local also means we are the ones people ring when a previous engineer has condemned a boiler and they want a second opinion before spending two thousand pounds.
