About Spellbrook

Tiny rural settlement between Sawbridgeworth and Bishop's Stortford — primarily detached rural housing.

Mix of period high-street properties, Victorian/Edwardian terraces, and modern executive estates around the station.

  • Conservation area restrictions affect external flue siting on period properties
  • Some streets have shared chimney stacks where flue routing needs coordination
  • High Wych and rural fringes occasionally on LPG rather than mains gas

Local, honest heating upgrades for Spellbrook homes

We've been doing heating upgrades in Sawbridgeworth long enough to know which streets have shared chimneys, which estates have undersized gas supplies, and which boilers tend to fail first.

That experience means we get the spec right at the survey, not halfway through the install.

And we don't cut corners on the bits you can't see — proper pipework, magnetic filter, full system flush where needed.

Sometimes it's a £150 magnetic filter, sometimes a £600 power flush, sometimes new radiators. We'll be straight with you.

Floors covered, water drained properly, no mess left behind.

Show the before/after

Pressure readings, radiator temps, and inhibitor levels all logged so you can see the difference.

Frequently asked questions — heating upgrades, Spellbrook

Do you charge more on weekends?

Saturdays are charged at our standard day rate. Sunday emergency callouts carry a small uplift — we'll tell you the exact figure before you commit.

Can I book a routine service for a Saturday?

Yes — Saturdays are popular for services and CP12s, so book a couple of weeks ahead if you can.

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.

Do I really need a power flush?

If radiators have cold patches, your boiler is noisy, or you're fitting a new boiler to an older system, yes. Otherwise a chemical flush and magnetic filter is often enough.

What you get when you book us

  • BTU sizing calculations for radiator changes
  • Smart thermostat brand-agnostic — Hive, Nest, Tado, Honeywell, Drayton
