Local coverage
Hartley Wintney is a twelve-mile run east from the Basingstoke base, straight along the A30 through Hook, which keeps it comfortably inside the regular working patch alongside the rest of RG27. It is a village with a genuinely distinctive housing mix, and that is what dictates the work rather than any generic idea of a Hampshire village.
The conservation area around the High Street and the cricket green holds Georgian and Victorian property, listed frontages and a run of older cottages, many with solid walls, chimney stacks in awkward places and no realistic route for a modern flue on the visible elevation. Behind that sit the twentieth-century additions along Fleet Road and Church Lane, and then substantial detached houses on the edges toward Phoenix Green and Winchfield, several of which run unvented mains-pressure cylinders, multiple bathrooms and heating loads that a small combi was never going to satisfy.
That range means the sensible answer in Hartley Wintney is genuinely property-specific. A system boiler and unvented cylinder is often right for the larger houses, a well-specified combi for the smaller cottages, and air conditioning increasingly makes sense in loft conversions and garden offices where insulation was upgraded without any thought given to summer. All of it comes from one engineer holding both Gas Safe 593588 and F-Gas Refcom REF1025590, which avoids the usual argument between two trades over the same wall.
Hartley Wintney is roughly twelve miles east of the Basingstoke base, a clear run along the A30 through Hook.

Every claim below is something that can be checked before you book: a registration number, an insurance figure, a published price or a written guarantee.
Solid walls, thick chimney breasts and elevations that cannot take a visible flue are normal here. The survey establishes what is actually possible before a price is quoted, rather than discovering it on fitting day.
Larger Hartley Wintney houses need real mains pressure at several outlets at once. Unvented cylinder installation and maintenance is routine work here, not an occasional job.
Qualified since 2011 and running the business independently for eight years. Gas Safe 593588, F-Gas Refcom REF1025590, £2 million public liability.
The survey is free, the written quote is fixed once issued, and the price agreed is the price invoiced — no variations discovered halfway through.
Local conditions
Building age, construction, water and exposure decide what goes wrong and what the honest fix is. These are the patterns that come up here.
On listed and conservation-area property the obvious flue position is frequently the one you are not permitted to use, and the compliant alternative may involve a vertical run, a rear elevation route or relocating the appliance entirely. That decision changes the pipework, the condensate route and the cost, so it is settled at survey stage and written into the quote rather than raised as an extra once the old boiler is out.
Period cottages around the green lose heat through solid masonry at rates a modern SAP calculation never anticipates. Fitting a boiler sized purely on the number of radiators produces a house that is warm nowhere and expensive everywhere. Correct sizing means measuring the actual heat loss, and often means upgrading a few undersized radiators rather than upsizing the boiler and burning gas to compensate.
The larger properties toward Phoenix Green routinely have three or more outlets and an ageing vented cylinder in the loft delivering hot water at little more than gravity pressure. Showers fade the moment a tap opens elsewhere. A correctly sized unvented cylinder on a system boiler solves it properly — provided the incoming mains is measured first for flow and static pressure, which is the step most often skipped.
Many houses here have had a kitchen extension or annexe added with radiators simply teed off the nearest available pipe. The system then never balances: the new rooms steal the flow and the original bedrooms stay cold. Rebalancing, correcting the pump duty and in some cases re-routing a leg is far cheaper and more effective than the new boiler that usually gets suggested first.
Our process
The same five steps on every job, whether it is a CP12 or a full central heating installation.
01
Speak to Beth or Sam on 07825 758511, or send the quote form. You get a straight answer on whether it is a quotable job or an hourly one.
02
The property is looked at properly — flue route, gas supply, mains pressure, system condition — so the price is based on the building, not a guess.
03
A written price covering everything discussed. Once issued it is fixed: the figure agreed is the figure invoiced.
04
Sam carries out the work himself, protects the property, and leaves the site clean. No subcontracted strangers.
05
Paperwork, registration and warranty documents issued, with a one-year workmanship guarantee and up to ten years on a new boiler.
Questions
Anything not covered, call 07825 758511. 8am–5pm, Monday to Friday, with out-of-hours emergency call-outs available.
Yes. Hartley Wintney and the surrounding RG27 villages including Phoenix Green, Winchfield, Elvetham Heath fringes and Mattingley are covered from the Basingstoke base.
It is about twelve miles east of the RG22 base, a straightforward run along the A30 through Hook. Availability depends on the week's diary; normal hours are 8am to 5pm Monday to Friday, with out-of-hours emergency call-outs for no heat, no hot water and leaks.
No. The published rates are the same across the whole coverage area: boilers from £1,900 + VAT, air conditioning from £1,600 + VAT, CP12 at £90 + VAT, £90 + VAT per hour otherwise.
Yes. The practical constraint is usually flue routing and pipework visibility, which is established at the free survey so the quote reflects what is genuinely achievable on that building. Any listed building consent required remains the owner's responsibility to obtain.
Usually a system boiler with a correctly sized unvented cylinder, as a combi cannot supply simultaneous outlets at usable flow. The incoming mains is measured at survey to confirm the cylinder specification before anything is quoted.
Yes, out of hours as well as during the working day, for no heat, no hot water and leaks. Call 07825 758511.
Yes — domestic wall-mounted and multi-split systems from £1,600 + VAT under F-Gas certification Refcom REF1025590, which suits loft conversions, annexes and garden offices particularly well.
£2 million public liability insurance, Gas Safe registration 593588, F-Gas Refcom REF1025590, a one-year workmanship guarantee on all work and up to ten years' manufacturer warranty on a new boiler depending on the appliance.
