Learn moreWhat makes our heating upgrades work different in Hockerill
Three things Bishop's Stortford customers tell us they value: we turn up when we say we will, we explain things in plain English, and we don't try to sell you anything you don't need.
Power flushes pay for themselves quickly here because of the hard water — we typically pull out a kilo of black sludge from a 10-year-old system.
Everything we do is Gas Safe registered, fully insured, and backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee.

Common questions about heating upgrades in Hockerill
Why don't you publish fixed prices online?▾
Because every job is different. The "from £1,499" you see on national sites almost never includes flue, system flush, controls, or any pipework changes — the bits that always come up.
Will a smart thermostat actually save money?▾
Yes — typically 8–12% off heating bills if you use the scheduling and zone features properly. Hive and Nest both pay back inside two years for most households.
How much does a power flush cost?▾
Typically £450–£750 depending on system size and number of radiators. We give a fixed price after a quick survey.
