Farmborough is a small village set in the countryside between Bath and the Somer Valley, tucked along the ridge with long views over the fields. It’s a quiet, settled place — a mix of older stone-built cottages and farmhouses with more modern houses added over the decades, the kind of village where people stay for years.

The older solid-walled properties here heat very differently from the newer builds, so sizing the boiler correctly really matters — we do a proper assessment rather than guessing. A compact cottage usually suits a combi; a larger family home with more than one bathroom often works better on a system boiler. Some properties around the village aren’t on the mains gas network. As we specialise in mains gas heating and air source heat pumps, we’ll always give honest advice about whether a heat pump is the right solution — particularly with the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant.

Farmborough sits on limestone, so the water is hard and scale is one of the main reasons boilers fail early here — every install includes a full system flush and a scale-reducing filter as standard. You’ll get a fixed price agreed in writing before we start and tidy work from a local Gas Safe engineer. See our main boiler installation in Bath service, or ask about a repair or annual service.
