Bassett is one of Southampton's more established northern suburbs, with a mix of 1930s and post-war detached and semi-detached homes. Many properties along Bassett Avenue, Brownhill Road and the Bassett Green area still have original copper pipework and older conventional heating systems, the kind of work I deal with every week.
If your boiler hasn't been serviced in a few years, or you're getting cold spots on radiators, there's a good chance the system needs attention. Older Bassett properties often have gravity-fed systems and open-vented boilers that require an engineer who understands them, rather than someone used only to modern combis.
I cover the whole Bassett area and can usually attend the same day for urgent callouts. Gas Safe registered (reg. 558654), with transparent pricing and no surprise invoices, you'll know the cost before I start.

“Wes diagnosed and then replaced a faulty valve on my heating system that was leaking. Excellent, reliable and prompt. Finding a local, knowledgeable and dependable heating engineer is something worth knowing about.”
“We were able to book Wes promptly after moving in to a new house to service the two boilers. He was efficient, professional and tidied up after he had finished. Reasonable charge too.”
“We have used Wes on more than one occasion and he has always provided a prompt, efficient service. When Wes says he has fixed a problem, it stays fixed.”
No call centre, no subcontractors. The person reading your WhatsApp is the person who turns up in Bassett and the person who signs off the guarantee. Look for the black Transit.
Yes, I cover the whole of Bassett including Bassett Green, Bassett Avenue, Brownhill Road and all surrounding streets in the north Southampton SO16 postcode area. I'm usually able to attend within a day for non-emergency work, and the same day for urgent heating or plumbing issues.
Absolutely. Gravity-fed and open-vented systems are common in older Bassett properties and I'm very familiar with them. Whether you need a repair, a system flush, or advice on upgrading to a modern combi, I can assess and advise without pushing you toward unnecessary work.
A standard annual boiler service is £85 including a full safety check and efficiency assessment. If your boiler is due a service, it's the single best thing you can do to extend its life and keep it running safely through winter. I carry out services across Bassett throughout the week.
