It's what's under the floorboards that counts. Ralf finished the internal pipework for a full heating system upgrade in St Albans, holding to the same standard used across all our installations β€” high-quality soldered copper rather than plastic, integrated with a magnetic system filter to protect the new boiler from day one.

Copper as standard, not an upgrade

We use soldered copper as the default for this kind of work rather than a plastic push-fit alternative. Copper handles the heat and pressure cycles of a working heating system for decades without degrading, and produces a neater, more compact result than bulkier plastic fittings β€” something that matters when pipework will sit behind a wall or cupboard for the working life of the system, with no easy way to adjust it later.

Alongside the pipework, a magnetic system filter was integrated to protect the new boiler from sludge and debris circulating in the system, ensuring it runs efficiently for years rather than accumulating contamination from the first winter of use.

Common Questions

We lead with high-quality soldered copper as standard rather than plastic push-fit because it holds up better over decades of heat and pressure cycles, and produces a cleaner, more compact result than bulkier plastic fittings.

Yes. A magnetic filter integrated into the pipework protects the boiler from sludge and debris circulating in the system, helping it run efficiently for years to come rather than accumulating contamination from day one.
