Heating and hot water

Sureserve delivers our heating repairs and servicing as well as new heating installations and electrical testing.

We know it’s important that your central heating or hot water system works and, when it doesn’t, it can be a major frustration and inconvenience.

There could be several reasons why these systems aren’t working, but, fortunately, there are a few checks and quick fixes that you can do at home to sort the problem before having to arrange for an engineer to visit.


Mould and condensation

We appreciate that extreme cases of damp and mould are harder to manage, and we’d always encourage customers to report these to us so that we can address them.

You can help us by ensuring you do everything you can to help keep your home free from condensation and mould. Here is some advice and guidance on how to deal with condensation-related mould in your home.


Improvements to your home

We know you may want to make alterations to your home, whether it be internal, external or just adapting it to maintain your independence. You might need our permission or help to do this, but we’re here to help.
