Heating Engineer & Plumber, Moseley & Kings Heath

B13 and B14 have one of the highest concentrations of converted flats and rented rooms in south Birmingham, which makes landlord gas safety work and multi-appliance checks a large part of what we do here.

Heating work in Moseley & Kings Heath

In converted Victorian villas the recurring issues are shared or ambiguous gas supplies, flues terminating in awkward positions, and boilers fitted years ago in cupboards that no longer meet clearance requirements. We untangle these regularly and document exactly what has been found.

The Edwardian terraces towards Kings Heath high street have solid walls and high ceilings, so radiators specified for a modern equivalent room will not keep up. We calculate heat loss room by room on any radiator or boiler work here.

Recent work in Moseley & Kings Heath

A Baxi E168 in a Kings Heath apartment block — circuit board failure. We sourced the replacement board locally rather than waiting on a courier, and the customer was back up and running the same day.

A converted Victorian villa in B13 had a boiler fitted years ago into a cupboard that no longer met clearance requirements. We documented exactly what we found, moved it, and left the landlord with a clear record for the file.

A Kings Heath terrace with high ceilings had radiators sized as if it were a modern build — they simply couldn't keep up. Room-by-room heat loss calculations put that right.

Homes and heating in Moseley and Kings Heath

Moseley is large Victorian villas, a great many of them converted into flats, and Kings Heath is mostly Edwardian terraces and 1930s semis. The converted villas give us the most involved jobs in south Birmingham: several boilers in one building, shared flues and gas supplies that were never properly documented, and cylinders in cupboards nobody has opened for years. A proper survey before any installation matters more here than almost anywhere else.

The Kings Heath terraces are simpler, mostly combis on original pipework, and the common calls are pressure loss, cold radiators and noisy boilers that turn out to be scale and sludge. There is a big rental market on both sides of the Alcester Road, so CP12 certificates for flats and HMOs are a regular part of our week here.
