Barnham pipes. Near Thetford.
The beauty of the new installation technologies: 22mm Hep2o barrier flow and return pipework, threaded through joists below a landing floor. Not too many years ago, these joists would have had to be notched, seriously weakening them.
Dangerous cooker. Thetford.
Occasionally a dangerous appliance is discovered during a Gas Safety Inspection. Whether the customer likes it or not, the gas installer has a legal responsibility to shut the appliance down. A more difficult part of an otherwise enjoyable profession!
Dangerous gas cooker. Thetford.
Thankfully a rare sight. This gas cooker could have killed. Surprisingly, the customers needed sone convincing that this was a danger to them!
Boiler Breakdown
HRM Wallstar boilers are one of the best oil appliances on the market and manufactured locally. Their staff are brilliant and could not be more helpful. Like all boilers though, they still require regular servicing and occasionally boiler repairs will be required.

A thorough service of an oil boiler will take at least 45 minutes. This is the view of the inside of the combustion chamber door, before cleaning.

Looking into the part of the boiler which is installed through the wall. This is quite heavily sooted and overdue a service. If left much longer the sooting would contaminate the burner and prevent ignition.

Stanford Rd Thetford
After new plasterboard was installed, the walls were filled. Filler is wet in this picture, but after it had dried it was virtually impossible to see where the wall had been opened up. Then a second coat of filler was installed and the wall was painted with professionally colour matched paint, and it was impossible to tell that the work had taken place.
Heating Repair, Thetford
Large sections of this wall needed to be removed and re-instated to find a blockage in the pipework. When all was finished, it wasn't possible to tell what had happened.
