Plumbing, Gas & Heating Engineersin Erith A short run from our SE18 yard

Why Erith customers keep calling us back.
Erith's housing is a genuine mix: Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the river, sizeable inter-war and post-war stock inland, plus the newer developments spreading out towards Slade Green and Northumberland Heath. That variety keeps the work interesting. The through-line is that Erith customers, like our SE18 customers, want a straight answer and a fair price rather than a script.
About 4 miles from our Plumstead base · approx 15 minutes on a normal traffic day.

What we get called out for in Erith.
The jobs below make up the bulk of our week inside DA8. Every one is priced in writing, Gas Safe compliant.
Boiler Repairs
Cold radiators, no hot water, an F1, F22 or E133 lockout code, we've seen every fault on every major boiler over the last 30+ years. Fixed-price diagnostic, honest recommendation on repair versus replace, no upsell.
Boiler Installation
A quiet, efficient, A-rated boiler installed by a Gas Safe engineer with over 30 years on South East London homes, lower bills, hotter showers, and the manufacturer warranty registered in your name before we leave.
Central Heating Installation
A complete central heating system designed around your home, from heat loss calculation and boiler sizing through radiators, zoning, controls and commissioning. One team, one accountable install, warrantied in writing.
Bathroom Installation
A new bathroom without the six-trades chaos. Danny sits with you, sketches the layout, sources fittings, then plumbs, tiles and finishes with a small trusted team, clean site, agreed timeline, one point of accountability from first sketch to final silicone bead.
Landlord Gas Safety (CP12)
Statutory annual gas safety inspection carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer, certificate emailed to tenant and agent within hours, records retained for 10 years, everything you need to stay legally compliant as a landlord in South East London.
Power Flushing
A proper high-flow reverse flush that strips a decade of magnetite sludge out of your radiators and pipework, restoring flow, quieting the boiler, cutting gas bills, and unlocking manufacturer warranty on any new install.
Concrete reasons, not marketing lines.
Every fact below comes from how we actually run the business, over 30 years continuously trading from the same Plumstead yard, one Gas Safe registration.

The problems we see again and again in Erith.
Local heating and plumbing issues are rarely random. They follow the era of the property, the pipework, the water conditions and the way the house has been extended. Here is what our diary in DA8 actually looks like.
Riverside damp and cold external walls
Erith's riverside properties often have colder external walls and higher humidity than inland stock. Under-specified boilers and undersized radiators leave rooms that never quite warm up. We size correctly at survey.
Sludged systems in older semis
Inter-war and post-war Erith semis frequently have 20+ years of magnetite sludge in the radiators. Power flushing plus a magnetic filter usually restores full output at a fraction of the cost of a new boiler.
Ex-council maisonettes
Original combis in DA8 ex-council stock are typically past economical repair. We give a clear, numbers-based repair-versus-replace answer.
Slade Green-side newer estates
Newer estates use compact combis with tight utility-cupboard access. We plan flue runs and clearances carefully so a boiler swap does not need destructive work.
Landlord rental turnover
Erith has a busy rental market. We can turn CP12s around within a day or two, and batch annual services to keep a portfolio compliant without last-minute panic.
