Boiler help in Allendale
Allendale Town sits high in the hills south-west of Hexham, around eight miles from our base. It is one of the more rural places we cover, and we know that when the heating fails up here, the weather does not wait. We help households in Allendale, Catton and the surrounding farms and hamlets with boiler repairs, annual servicing and replacements.
Homes and heating in Allendale
Most homes in and around Allendale are built from local stone – village houses around the square, cottages, farmhouses and converted barns. Thick stone walls, exposed positions and long winters mean heating systems here work harder than most. Pipework in farmhouses and barn conversions can run a long way from the boiler, and outbuildings and garages can be cold enough to freeze pipes in a hard winter.
A well-maintained, correctly sized boiler with good controls makes a real difference to comfort and running costs in homes like these. We look at the whole system – radiators, controls, insulation of pipework and the condensate pipe – rather than just the boiler on the wall.
Gas, oil and LPG
Many homes in the Allen valleys are not on the mains gas network and use oil or LPG for heating. Please tell us your fuel type when you contact us. We will let you know honestly whether it is work we can help with, rather than taking on a job we are not the right people for.
Getting to Allendale
Allendale is roughly eight miles from Hexham in a straight line, up the hill road from the Tyne valley. In winter, weather can affect travel to the higher parts of the dale. When you get in touch, we will tell you honestly when we can be with you and keep you updated if conditions change.
