Do you remember the basin, well our work with this lovely customer didn't stop with the cloakroom. After completing the cloakroom refurbishment, it was time to upgrade the hot water system. The existing cylinder was taking up valuable airing cupboard space and was suffering from leaking components and faulty valves. The solution? A new mains-pressure unvented cylinder perfectly installed in the loft by Dean, freeing up space and providing a more reliable hot water supply for the whole home. And with the new system in place, the property was ready for the next stage of the transformation... major bathroom transformation photos coming soon. www.csheating.org.uk 01227 263473 #CSHeatingAndPlumbing #UnventedCylinder #HotWaterUpgrade #KentHomes
At this time of year our gardens grow quickly but are you checking what is growing around your boiler flue?🏡 Overgrown plants, shrubs and climbing vegetation can restrict airflow around the flue terminal, potentially affecting the safe operation of your boiler. Our engineers regularly find flues completely hidden by foliage, like the one recently seen during a boiler service visit. Keep plants and overgrowth cut back by at least 300mm around the flue terminal to allow proper ventilation and easy inspection. It's a simple job that can help keep your heating system operating safely and efficiently. If you're unsure whether your boiler flue is correctly positioned or accessible, our Gas Safe engineers are always happy to advise. www.csheating.org.uk 01227 263473 #GasSafe #BoilerSafety #Kent

From repeated repairs… to a long-term solution. This project started after the customer had been dealing with ongoing pinhole leaks caused by copper pipework hidden behind tiled walls and beneath the concrete floor. Unfortunately, none of the pipework had been protected against corrosion, leading to repeated issues and repairs over time. Enter Dean and the CS Bathroom team👋 We replaced all pipework back to the point of entry and completely transformed the space, upgrading it from a downstairs shower room into a spacious cloakroom featuring new panelling, tiled flooring and traditional furniture. Just the decorating to complete and this transformation will be finished ✨ www.csheating.org.uk 01227 263473 #PlumbingExperts #CloakroomDesign #KentHomes #CSHeatingAndPlumbing
Have one of these? Have one of these in a cupboard in your home? Most people know their boiler needs servicing... but many don’t realise that unvented hot water cylinders need regular servicing too. These systems work under pressure and an annual service helps to: 🔵 Check important safety valves are working correctly 🔵 Keep the system running efficiently 🔵Spot small issues before they become costly repairs 🔵Help prevent leaks and unnecessary breakdowns Please be aware. Because unvented cylinders are high-pressure systems, servicing should always be carried out by a suitably qualified engineer. The CS team are G3 qualified and experienced in servicing and maintaining these systems safely. Be aware what’s going on behind that cupboard door. Contact us to by phone, email or via our website to find out more and to book your cylinder service. www.csheating.org.uk 01227 263473

Most people think their hot water cylinder is just… a tank. But it’s actually a high-pressure system working hard every day to deliver your hot water safely. A simple way to think about it is it’s like a sealed bottle of fizzy drink under pressure so it needs regular checks to stay safe. That’s why having an annual service on your unvented cylinder tank isn’t just a “nice to have”… it’s essential.

Our Operations Manager Paul is leading a team of 30 volunteers, including parents, staff and friends, taking on the St Nicks 3 Peaks Challenge. They will be climbing the three highest peaks in the UK, Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon, back to back within just 24 hours. That means covering over 23 miles of trekking, more than 3,000 metres of ascent, which is comparable to climbing 30 Big Bens, along with a huge logistical effort travelling across the country. They are raising funds to help transform St Nicholas School’s playground into a sensory-rich, accessible space for over 400 children with profound and complex learning needs. For these students, this is not just a playground. It is an essential outdoor classroom that supports physical therapy, sensory regulation and safe play. If you’d like to support Paul and the team, you can donate here: www.justgiving.com/page/3peaksdeadmon www.justgiving.com/campaign/stnicks3peaks
One of our engineers was called out one evening last week as the customer's boiler had been turned off by a meter installer earlier that day, as they were unable to remove the casing. When our engineer attended, it became clear why. The boiler and flue had been boxed in during a bathroom installation, leaving no access for servicing or maintenance. Our engineer was able to resolve the issue but this is a good reminder of how important it is to use experienced professionals for this type of work, and to ensure the correct clearances are always left around boilers for safe access. www.csheating.org.uk 01227 263473
Regular servicing isn’t just a tick-box, it’s one of the simplest ways to avoid unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs. A small step now can protect your home, your safety, and your wallet.

And if you already have a CS Home Cover Plan, there’s nothing you need to do we’ll be in touch when your annual service is due. www.csheating.org.uk 01227 263473 #BoilerServicing
Sometimes it’s more than just a bathroom upgrade, it’s about making everyday life easier. Jon, one of our bathroom specialists, recently completed this bath-to-shower conversion for a customer whose husband was struggling to get in and out of the bath due to age and illness. This was a tricky installation, with the bath set into an alcove and a shower pump underneath. The team had to: ✔️ Rebuild sections of the wall ✔️ Create a stud wall to support a walk-in glass panel ✔️ Retile the full area for a seamless finish ✔️ Carefully design the layout to maintain easy access to the toilet We also installed two booster pumps, neatly accessed via a discreet hatch on the landing. A thoughtful design, a practical solution and a big difference to daily life. If you’re considering a safer, more accessible bathroom, we’re here to help. www.csheating.org.uk 01227 263473
