Boilers & Plumbing in Headingley
Headingley's trusted plumber
More than anywhere else in our patch, Headingley is defined by landlord work. The Victorian and Edwardian terraces on Brudenell Road, Hartley Avenue, and the streets running off Cardigan Road have been carved up into HMOs and student lets for decades, and keeping them Gas Safe is a year-round job. High tenant turnover means certificates always need renewing, and ageing pipe runs in properties that have never had a full heating overhaul mean we are called out to emergencies here regularly.
The terraces on streets like Delph Lane and the Hyde Park triangle date from roughly 1880 to 1910. Many retain original cast-iron soil stacks and galvanised cylinders well past their service life. When these fail they tend to do so dramatically - students discovering they have no hot water at 11pm on a Sunday is a common scenario, and we are set up to deal with it.
Back boilers behind gas fires are still more common here than anywhere else we work. Parts are scarce and the units are running on borrowed time. When they give up, we remove the fire surround and the unit together and fit a modern combi, which frees up significant space in a room that was never designed to have a boiler cupboard.
Landlords with multiple LS6 properties often use us to batch their CP12 inspections in a single day. We can move between addresses, coordinate with tenants, and have all certificates issued the same day - which saves everyone the admin of managing separate appointments.
One practical note: match days at Headingley stadium cause significant parking restrictions on nearby streets. We check the fixture list before booking visits so parts and tools are on the doorstep rather than three streets away.

Common questions about boilers & plumbing in Headingley
My landlord needs a gas safety certificate - how quickly can you do it in Headingley?+−
We carry out CP12 landlord gas safety inspections across LS6 and can usually book within a few days. If you have a tenancy change coming up we can often work around the tenant's schedule to avoid an empty-property day. We issue the certificate the same day.
The boiler in my rented house on Brudenell Road has stopped working - can you help tonight?+−
Yes. We offer 24-hour emergency cover across Headingley and the wider LS6 area. No call-out charge. Ring us and we'll aim to be with you within the hour wherever possible.
My Victorian terrace still has a back boiler behind the gas fire. Should I replace it?+−
Back boilers are no longer manufactured and parts are scarce. If yours is failing or you want a more efficient system, we can remove the old unit and fire surround and install a modern combi or system boiler. It frees up useful space in the living room and the new boiler will be covered by a manufacturer warranty.
The radiators upstairs in my Headingley house are stone cold but the downstairs ones are fine. What is wrong?+−
In a Victorian terrace this is often an air-lock in the upstairs circuit, sludge buildup restricting flow through the smaller-bore pipework, or a pump that is struggling. A power flush usually resolves the sludge issue. We can diagnose on the visit and advise the most cost-effective fix.
