St. Thomas has houses from the fifties and brand new Net Zero builds within a few minutes of each other. Two completely different jobs on the same day.
St. Thomas has been building steadily for a long time. Doug Tarry Ltd has been putting up houses there since 1954 and is currently working across four subdivisions in and around the town, and has built more than five hundred Net Zero homes. So the town holds both ends of the spectrum at once.
That is genuinely interesting to work in. In one house I am dealing with a system that has been patched by four different people since the seventies. In the next I am dealing with a very tight, very well built house where the whole comfort question is about ventilation and balance rather than raw heating capacity.
Older St. Thomas houses have often been worked on repeatedly. I look at the whole system, not only the thing that stopped.
In a tight modern house the heating load is small and the ventilation matters more than people expect. Oversizing equipment in a house like that makes it less comfortable, not more.
I will tell you on the phone whether I can get to you and when. I would rather turn a job down than leave somebody waiting.

I do. Ring me and I will tell you honestly when I can be there.
Yes. The heating load is smaller, so equipment should be smaller, and ventilation matters far more. Oversizing a tight house makes it worse.
With a proper look at what is actually there. Houses that age have usually been added to more than once and it pays to understand the whole system first.
Installation, repairs and service on all of it, tested before I leave.
London and the surrounding area. Just outside it? Ring anyway and I will tell you straight whether I can get to you.
