Expansion-era homes
Homes built in the 1970s and 1980s often have their boilers in kitchens or airing cupboards, with original pipework that may contain sludge. When replacing the boiler, engineers often recommend cleaning the system and adding a filter.
Chineham and Hatch Warren have larger family homes where system boilers and cylinders are common, while Old Basing and Oakley have older cottages.
Basingstoke was expanded rapidly as a London overspill town from the 1960s, so much of its housing – in Brighton Hill, Popley, Oakridge and Hatch Warren – was built in a few decades. Many of those homes now need new boilers and updated controls.

The local picture: South East England
Most homes in South East towns are on mains gas, from Victorian terraces to post-war estates and newer developments, so combi and system boiler replacements are the bread and butter of local engineers. Villages and rural properties are more likely to be off the gas grid and rely on oil, LPG or electric heating, which calls for engineers with different registrations.
Gas work is not a DIY job: by law it must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Oil boilers are usually handled by OFTEC-registered technicians, and electrical work by a qualified electrician. How to check an engineer.
