Heating Engineer
For West Sussex
We cover North and Mid West Sussex regularly — Crawley, Horsham, Haywards Heath and Burgess Hill — for boiler installation, repair, servicing, CP12 landlord certificates and complete central heating upgrades.
Working in West Sussex,
not just passing through.
West Sussex's northern belt — Crawley, Horsham, Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill — sits within a comfortable drive from our Covent Garden base and is on our route for scheduled installations and servicing.
The housing profile mixes newer estate homes (particularly around Crawley and Burgess Hill) with substantial family properties in Horsham and Haywards Heath and true period cottages in the surrounding villages.
Same standard as everywhere else we work: Ian personally attends, Gas Safe 952303, and the paperwork is issued the same day.

What we see
most often in West Sussex.
West Sussex properties present a distinctive set of heating faults tied to property age, exposure and water hardness.
Under-sized combis on estate housing
Newer estate homes around Crawley and Burgess Hill often have combis specced for the smallest layout. Extensions or additional bathrooms tip them over their capacity. A correctly sized replacement transforms hot-water performance.
System boilers and unvented cylinders in family homes
Larger Horsham and Haywards Heath family homes usually need system-boiler-plus-unvented-cylinder configurations rather than combis. G3 qualified installation and annual servicing are essential.
Rural properties with external pipework
Village properties across Mid-Sussex with external condensate runs and outbuilding pipework need proper cold-weather protection to avoid January boiler lockouts.
Older cylinders reaching end of life
Cylinders installed 15+ years ago often develop pinhole leaks, poor recovery, or expansion vessel failure. Planned replacement avoids the emergency call.
Cold conservatories and orangeries
Glazed extensions across the county lose heat far faster than most existing systems can replace. We calculate heat loss properly and specify the right solution.

What does a boiler installation typically cost in West Sussex?
Boiler installations in West Sussex are quoted in writing after an on-site assessment — we don't give phone-quote figures because the flue route, gas-supply size, controls, filter and cylinder work all affect price.

Always. For installations and larger jobs we assess on site, then send a written fixed-price estimate. Nothing starts until you've accepted it in writing.
