Central Heating Systems — Design, Installation & Servicing
Advance Plumbing provides complete central heating system services for domestic and commercial properties across the UK. From full system design and installation to radiator upgrades, system power flushing, and annual servicing contracts, our Gas Safe engineers deliver heating solutions built to last.
A well-designed central heating system delivers consistent warmth throughout a property, responds efficiently to thermostat commands, and operates reliably for 15-20 years with proper maintenance.
Advance Plumbing takes a systems-first approach. Before any installation work begins, we carry out a detailed heat loss calculation for every room, design the radiator layout and pipework circuit accordingly, and specify a boiler matched to the calculated demand.
We install all major heating system types including conventional wet central heating, underfloor heating (UFH), zone-controlled systems, and smart thermostat integration. All installation work is covered by our 12-month workmanship guarantee.

Why Advance Plumbing
Central heating systems that fail to heat a property adequately are overwhelmingly the result of poor system design, not inadequate equipment. Advance Plumbing engineers are trained in heat loss calculation methodology and system hydraulic design.
This means our customers receive heating systems that are correctly specified from the outset. Every radiator is sized to the heat loss of its room. The pipework circuit is designed for correct flow rates. The boiler is matched to the total heat demand.
For commercial properties, we design systems to CIBSE guidelines with full documentation of the design calculations, material specifications, and commissioning records.
How It Works
Site Survey and Heat Loss Calculation
A qualified engineer surveys your property, calculates room-by-room heat loss, and designs the system to meet the full heating demand.
System Design and Quote
We produce a full system design including radiator specifications, pipework layout, boiler sizing, and controls schedule. A fixed-price quote is issued.
Installation
Our engineers install the complete system. Installation typically takes 3-5 days for a whole-house system.
Commissioning and Handover
The system is fully commissioned, balanced, and pressure-tested. You receive a full commissioning record and operating instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my central heating system needs replacing?
Indicators include uneven heating between rooms, frequent breakdowns, a boiler over 15 years old, high energy bills, or visible corrosion. We offer free diagnostic visits for systems showing these symptoms.
What is a power flush and does my system need one?
A power flush uses pressurised water and chemical cleaners to remove sludge, scale, and debris. It is recommended before installing a new boiler on an existing system.
Can you install underfloor heating throughout my home?
Yes. We install both wet (hydronic) underfloor heating systems and electric UFH. Wet UFH is typically more cost-effective for whole-house installations.
Do you offer annual servicing contracts?
Yes. Our annual servicing contracts cover boiler servicing, system checks, pressure testing, and magnetic filter cleaning.
Can you integrate smart thermostats with an existing heating system?
Yes. We install Nest, Hive, Drayton Wiser, and other smart thermostat systems compatible with most existing central heating boilers. Installation typically takes 2-3 hours.
