Stanton Drew is a quiet Chew Valley village best known for its Neolithic stone circles — the second largest in the country — set among working farmland. The housing here is largely older: stone farmhouses and cottages, period properties, and a scattering of newer homes, much of it solid-walled and built long before modern insulation.

Those older stone properties lose heat faster than a modern build and often have bigger, higher rooms, so getting the boiler size right genuinely matters — we do a proper assessment rather than guessing. For a compact cottage a combi is usually the neat choice; for a larger farmhouse with more than one bathroom, a system boiler and cylinder tends to suit better. Some homes 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.

Stanton Drew sits on limestone, so the water is hard and scale is a real factor in boiler lifespan — 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.
