As the weather warms up and we finally start using the heating less, spring is the perfect time to get on top of those plumbing and heating jobs you’ve been putting off.

At RJ Heating & Plumbing, as experienced heating engineers, this is one of our busiest times of year for upgrades, servicing, and getting homes ready for the months ahead.

Give Your Boiler Some Attention

If your boiler has worked hard all winter, now’s the time to get it serviced. Regular servicing keeps it running efficiently, helps prevent breakdowns, and keeps your warranty valid.

 

Thinking About Replacing Your Boiler?

If your boiler is getting unreliable or expensive to run, spring is the ideal time to replace it. There’s less disruption without needing constant heating, and you’ll be ready well before winter hits.

We install a wide range of systems, from Worcester Bosch and Vaillant and can recommend the right option based on your home and usage.

 

No Boiler? We’ve Got You Covered

Not every home already has central heating – and if you’re relying on older systems or electric heating, now’s a great time to consider a full boiler installation.

We design and install complete systems from scratch, including pipework, radiators, and everything needed to get your home properly heated. It’s a bigger job, but it can completely transform comfort, efficiency, and even property value.

If you’re not sure where to start, we’re happy to visit, assess your home, and talk you through the best options—no pressure, just honest advice.

 

Improve Your Heating Performance

Noticing cold spots on radiators or slow heating? A powerflush can clear out sludge and restore your system’s efficiency – helping your home heat up quicker and potentially reducing energy bills.

 

Upgrade Your Radiators

Modern radiators aren’t just more efficient—they look better too. If you’re redecorating or improving your home, upgrading your radiators can make a big difference in both comfort and style.

 

Check for Leaks and Wear

Winter can be tough on pipework. Small leaks, worn fittings, or cracked external taps often show up in spring. Catching these early can save you from bigger (and more expensive) issues later.

 

Sort Out Outdoor Plumbing

Planning to spend more time in the garden? Now’s the time to:

Check outdoor taps
Install new external water supplies
Get everything ready for summer use
Clear Blocked Drains

Leaves, dirt, and debris build up over winter and can cause slow drainage or bad smells. A quick check and clean now can prevent bigger blockages down the line.

 

Landlord Safety Checks

If you’re a landlord, don’t forget your annual Gas Safety Certificate (CP12). We carry out inspections and ensure everything is safe, compliant, and up to standard.

 

Considering Greener Heating?

We also install and service air source heat pumps – a great option if you’re looking to reduce energy bills and lower your carbon footprint.
