Local coverage
Market Harborough's local-feel boiler and bathroom specialist
Market Harborough is one of our regular weekly runs from Corby — the A6 puts us in town inside 25 minutes. Coverage spans the LE16 town centre's Georgian and Victorian townhouses, the suburbs of Little Bowden and St Mary's Road, and the surrounding villages of Great Bowden, Lubenham, Foxton and Husbands Bosworth.
The town's older brick stock dominates our heating work — high-ceilinged Victorian terraces with original cast-iron radiators, and 1930s semis that often need a full system upgrade rather than a like-for-like swap. We're equally at home doing a one-day combi swap on a 1980s estate or a full re-pipe and bathroom on a heritage property.
Typical response from booking to engineer-on-site for a Market Harborough emergency is around 75 minutes during working hours; the phone is answered 24/7 for overnight emergencies.

Local property issues
Common plumbing and heating problems in Market Harborough
The local building stock, water hardness and infrastructure all create distinct issues. Here's what we see most often when we attend a Market Harborough property.
Original cast-iron radiators on Victorian terraces
We can keep them (after a flush and bleed) or replace with modern equivalents that match the period look but heat far more efficiently.
Boilers buried in airing cupboards on 1930s semis
Awkward to service, awkward to replace. We relocate to kitchen, garage or utility room as part of a fixed-price install.
Cold radiators after a system upgrade
Often microbore that wasn't flushed properly. Targeted power flush or partial re-pipe — we'll be honest about which is cheaper long-term.
Hard-water scale in LE16
Anglian Water in this area runs hard. Scale reducer fitted on every install, plus descale options on existing combis losing flow.
Bathroom leaks behind tiled walls
Common on 1990s tiled-shower builds. We strip, repair the pipework properly, and have the bathroom watertight again in days, not weeks.
LPG and oil work on Lubenham/Foxton properties
Off-grid villages around LE16 — we cover oil and LPG installs and servicing without needing to call in a separate specialist.
