Hallatrow sits in the old Somerset coalfield just south of Bath, next to High Littleton on the A39. It’s a small village with a mining and railway past, and the housing reflects it — stone-built cottages and older terraces, some converted former railway and industrial buildings, and newer homes added among them.

Those older solid-walled properties can be draughty and heat very differently from a modern build, so we size the boiler properly rather than guessing. A compact cottage usually suits a combi — no tank, hot water on demand; a larger family home with more than one bathroom often works better on a system boiler. Some homes around Hallatrow 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.

The water here is hard, off the limestone, and scale is one of the main reasons boilers fail early — 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.
