Marksbury is a small rural village on the ridge between Bath and Keynsham, looking out over open farmland in the Chew and Somer valleys. It’s a quiet, settled place — older stone-built cottages and farmhouses, period properties, and a scattering of newer homes, much of it solid-walled and built well before modern insulation.

Those older properties lose heat faster than a modern build and often have bigger rooms, so sizing the boiler correctly genuinely matters — we do a proper assessment rather than guessing. A compact cottage usually suits a combi; a larger farmhouse or family home with more than one bathroom often works better on a system boiler. Being a rural village, some homes here 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.

Marksbury 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.
