Heating Engineers in Strood, Kent

The streets around Strood town centre, along the High Street corridor and the roads running towards Frindsbury, include Victorian and Edwardian terraced properties that share many of the heating challenges found across Medway’s older housing stock. Compact boiler locations, ageing pipework, and heating systems that have been extended or modified over the years are all common.

We work on these properties regularly. In many cases, the most cost-effective approach is a modern combi boiler installation with targeted upgrades to the most critical parts of the heating system.

The residential areas around Wainscott, Frindsbury Extra, and the streets between Strood Hill and the A228 include a significant number of 1930s to 1960s housing. Semi-detached and terraced homes from this era typically have more generous room sizes than Victorian terraces, which means heating systems need to be specified accordingly.

Many of these homes still run on older system boilers or conventional heating setups with a hot water cylinder and cold water tank. A conversion to a modern combi boiler is often a good option.

Strood has seen considerable new building over the past decade, particularly around the Riverside area and Temple Marsh. These properties are typically built with modern combi boilers installed from new. As these developments mature, the original boilers will begin to reach the end of their working life — typically 10 to 15 years.

A proactive replacement before it breaks down avoids the inconvenience of an emergency call-out and lets you choose the right boiler at the right price.
