Plumber & Heating Engineer in Erdington

Erdington has a very different housing profile to Sutton just up the road. The streets around Erdington High Street, Sutton Road and Station Road are dominated by late Victorian two-up two-down terraces, many of which have been through several rounds of central heating upgrades. It is common to open up a cupboard here and find a microbore system fitted in the 1980s running alongside 22mm copper from an earlier installation, which causes balancing headaches and cold radiators upstairs.

Further out towards Stockland Green and Pype Hayes the stock shifts to 1930s bay-fronted semis and post-war council-built houses, many still on their original pipework. A recurring job in these properties is replacing galvanised steel cold feeds that have corroded internally and reduced flow to a trickle. Back-boilers behind gas fires were fitted all over Erdington in the 70s and 80s, and we still regularly decommission these and move customers to a combi in the kitchen or a system boiler in the airing cupboard.

Erdington is close to our usual routes, sitting on the A5127 between the city and Sutton, and we cover it as part of our core Birmingham area. Landmarks like Erdington Abbey and the Swan Centre help with directions, though parking can be tight on the terraced streets behind the High Street so we normally plan longer installations for off-peak hours. J.Avery is Worcester Bosch accredited and we can offer the full 10-year guarantee on new installations in Erdington, which matters when you are investing in a property you plan to keep long term.
