Central Heating in Snodland

Central Heating Services in Snodland

Whether you live in one of the older terraced properties on Snodland High Street, a 1960s semi on the residential estates, or a recently built home on one of the newer developments, we provide the full range of central heating services.

Our services include:

• Full central heating installation — designing and fitting complete systems with boiler, radiators, pipework, and controls suited to your property
• System upgrades — replacing old boilers and modernising the heating circuit with new controls, correctly sized radiators, and clean pipework
• Gravity-fed to sealed system conversion — upgrading from old open-vent systems with hot water cylinders to modern sealed systems with combi or system boilers
• Radiator additions and replacements — extending heating to new rooms or swapping old radiators for units with the correct heat output
• Controls upgrades — fitting programmable or smart thermostats, zone valves, and TRVs for better energy management
• Heating repairs — diagnosing and fixing problems with cold radiators, noisy boilers, pump failures, thermostat faults, and system pressure issues

Snodland has seen considerable new housing development in recent years, including riverside properties built on former industrial land. While these homes have modern heating systems, some of the initial installations used builder-grade components that may need upgrading sooner than expected. We can assess any new-build heating system and advise on whether improvements would be beneficial.

Central Heating Across Snodland's Property Types

Snodland's housing stock tells the story of the town's development from an industrial village to a residential commuter town, and the central heating requirements change with each era of building.

The Victorian and Edwardian terraces in the town centre, particularly along the High Street, Holborough Road, and the streets leading down to the river, were built for workers in Snodland's paper mills and cement works. These are compact, solidly built properties with thick brick walls and relatively small rooms. Central heating was retrofitted into these homes during the late twentieth century, and many systems are now decades old. The pipework is often routed through the most accessible path rather than the most efficient one, and the radiators may be undersized for the rooms they serve. A properly planned replacement system can transform the comfort of these homes.

The 1960s and 1970s estates that expanded Snodland beyond its historic core make up a large proportion of the town's housing. These three-bedroom semis and terraces were typically fitted with conventional boilers and gravity-fed hot water when built. After 50 years, these systems are well past their expected lifespan. The boilers are inefficient, the controls are basic, and the pipework has had decades to accumulate internal corrosion and sludge. Replacing these systems with a modern condensing boiler, updated radiators, and smart controls is one of the most cost-effective home improvements available.

The new-build homes on the riverside and former industrial sites have modern heating systems, but even these can benefit from controls upgrades or early boiler replacements if the initial specification was basic. We treat every property on its own merits.
