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 Perry Barr
The housing here is largely 1930s semis along the Walsall Road corridor plus post-war estates towards Kingstanding. Boilers of fifteen years and older are common, and the single most frequent job is a decision point: repair or replace. We give both numbers and let you choose.
Perry Barr also has a substantial student and shared-house rental market linked to the Birmingham City University campus, which means a lot of landlord gas safety work and multi-appliance properties where a cooker, boiler and sometimes a gas fire all need certifying at once.
Recent work in Perry Barr
Kingstanding, October 2026: a leaking boiler after 10pm. We were on site within 30 minutes, traced the leak to the flow adapter on a Worcester Greenstar's right-hand manifold and, with the part on the van, fixed it the same night. Read the case study, with photos.
An Ideal Logic in Perry Barr kept losing pressure with no visible leak anywhere. The leak turned out to be internal, on the main heat exchanger — we ordered the correct replacement, fitted it and left the boiler holding pressure.
A Walsall Road semi with a fifteen-year-old boiler was quoted a repair that would have cost more than a third of a new combi. We gave both numbers side by side and the owner chose to replace — a decision we're always glad to leave with the customer, not make for them.
A house-share landlord near the BCU campus needed four appliances certified before the new tenancy started in September. We booked it in the same week and had certificates emailed before move-in day.

Homes and heating in Perry Barr
Perry Barr and Kingstanding are dominated by 1930s housing: private semis along the Walsall Road and Perry Beeches, and one of the largest interwar council estates in the country at Kingstanding. Most of these houses have been through a combi conversion at some point, and the age of that conversion is the best predictor of what we will find. A 1990s combi on 1930s steel pipework is the most common setup, and cold radiators, pressure loss and failed pumps are the most common calls.
Perry Barr is next door to our base, so a repair visit here is well inside our standard area, with no travel charge. The area also has a lot of ex-council houses now rented out, so we do plenty of CP12 certificates here, usually with a boiler service on the same visit to save the landlord a second appointment.
