Quick answer
We cover Harborne and B17 for boiler repair, replacement, servicing and gas safety certificates. Edwardian terraces and semis here often benefit most from a combi conversion, priced from £2,699 fitted.
Harborne is dense Edwardian and interwar family housing, and a very high proportion still runs a hot water cylinder and loft tank. Reclaiming an airing cupboard and a loft is often as much of a draw here as the running-cost saving.

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 Harborne
Combi conversions are our most common Harborne job — removing the cylinder and cold water tank, re-running pipework and rebalancing the system. It is a two-day job and it changes how a house works, so we walk through it properly before quoting.
Where a family runs two bathrooms, we will steer you away from a combi. Being honest about that at the survey saves an expensive disappointment.
Recent work in Harborne
Quinton, September 2026: a boiler held together with duct tape. An online booking for a Worcester Greenstar 30Si Compact whose control panel had dropped. A snapped hinge clip, a common fault we carry the part for, so both clips were replaced on the spot and the customer reassured they did not need a new boiler. Read the case study, with photos.
A Baxi E110 weekend call-out in Harborne: the plate heat exchanger had failed on a contaminated system. We fitted the new exchanger, chemically flushed the system and added a magnetic filter so the replacement lasts.
A Glow-worm Betacom in Quinton, B32, showing F28: the circuit board had failed. Correct PCB ordered, fitted and tested — heating and hot water restored.
An Edwardian terrace off Harborne High Street had a cylinder in the airing cupboard and a tank in the loft. The combi conversion took two days and gave the family back both spaces — as much the reason they went ahead as the running-cost saving.
A B17 family with two bathrooms asked for a combi quote. We talked them out of it at survey and fitted a system boiler instead, which was the right call for how they actually use hot water.

Homes and heating in Harborne
Harborne itself is Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semis around the High Street, usually well kept and usually on their third or fourth boiler. Quinton and Bartley Green, which we cover from the same page, are mostly interwar semis and post-war council housing, and the calls from there are more often breakdowns on older combis than new installations.
One of our favourite written-up jobs is from Quinton: a Worcester Greenstar 30Si Compact held together with duct tape that needed two hinge clips from the van, not the new boiler the customer feared. That is a fair picture of how we work here: diagnose properly, carry the small parts, and only recommend a replacement when the numbers genuinely say so.
