Gas Safe engineers who design and fit complete central heating systems for Southampton homes. New radiators, pipework, controls and boilers, planned around how you live and fitted by our own team.
Your Local Central Heating Installers
Alford Plumbing & Heating has fitted heating systems in Southampton since 2004. In addition, our founder, David Alford, has more than 30 years in the trade, and every system we install is planned, fitted and commissioned by our own engineers. As a result, we never hand your job to a subcontractor.
What a Southampton Central Heating Installation Includes
A good system is more than a boiler on the wall. For a full central heating installation in Southampton, we take care of:
- A free survey and heat loss check for every room
- Correctly sized radiators, valves and pipework
- A new boiler where needed, from Worcester Bosch, Vaillant or Viessmann
- Smart controls and thermostatic radiator valves
- A system clean, inhibitor and magnetic filter
Gas Safe and Fully Accountable
We are Gas Safe registered (number 218175) and a Which? Trusted Trader. When the job is finished, we register your boiler with the manufacturer and notify Building Control, so you receive a compliance certificate for your records.

Planning Your New Heating System
Every home loses heat differently, so we never guess. During the survey, one of our engineers measures each room, checks your insulation and talks through how you use hot water. Then, from there, we design a system that keeps every room warm without wasting gas.
Radiators Sized for Each Room
Undersized radiators are one of the most common reasons a house never feels warm. So, we work out the output each room needs, then fit modern double panel or designer radiators to suit. Prefer warm floors? We also fit underfloor heating as Nu-Heat registered installers.
Hot Water That Keeps Up
Busy households with more than one bathroom often need a system boiler and a stored hot water tank rather than a combi. Either way, we explain the options honestly and fit the right hot water cylinder if you need one.
Clean Pipework From Day One
When we connect to existing pipes, we power flush or chemically clean the system first. After all, sludge left in old pipework is a leading cause of early boiler faults.
Ask us about a central heating installation in Southampton and we will send you a fixed written price, with no surprises later.
Worcester Bosch Accredited, With Up to 12 Years' Guarantee
As a Worcester Bosch accredited installer, we can offer extended guarantees of up to 12 years on selected boilers fitted as part of your new system. In other words, you get longer cover on parts and labour, with no hidden extras.
Spread the Cost With 0% Finance
A new heating system is a big purchase. To make it easier, we offer boiler finance, including 0% options on selected boilers, subject to status. Then you choose a term that suits your budget.
Brands We Trust
We fit Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Viessmann and Glow-worm boilers, matched with controls that work properly with them. Also, every boiler is registered with the manufacturer, so your warranty starts on day one.

Heating Upgrades and Smart Controls
Not every home needs a complete new system. Sometimes the best value comes from upgrading the parts that are letting you down.
Smarter Heating Controls
Modern heating controls, such as programmable thermostats, smart controls and thermostatic radiator valves, let you heat only the rooms you use. In fact, for many homes, this is the quickest way to cut gas bills without changing anything else.
Replacing Old Radiators and Pipework
Leaking valves, cold spots and noisy pipes usually point to an ageing system. Fortunately, we can replace individual radiators, reroute pipework or add radiators to an extension or loft conversion as part of a wider upgrade.
Looking After Your New System
Once your heating is in, an annual boiler service in Southampton keeps it safe, efficient and within its guarantee. This matters because most manufacturers require a yearly service to keep extended cover valid.
Not sure whether to upgrade or replace? Our engineers will tell you straight. Call 0238 000 1192 for honest, no-pressure advice.

How long does a central heating installation take?
Fitting a new boiler and radiators on your existing pipework usually takes two to three days. By contrast, a full system with new pipework normally takes four to six days, depending on the size of your home. We confirm the timescale in writing with your quote.
How much does a central heating installation in Southampton cost?
Every home is different, so we give you a fixed written price after a free survey. The cost depends on the number of radiators, whether new pipework is needed, the boiler you choose and whether you need a hot water cylinder. 0% finance is available on selected boilers, subject to status.
Can you keep my existing radiators?
Often, yes. For example, if your radiators are the right size and in good condition, we clean them and reuse them. If any are too small or damaged, we show you why and price replacements separately, so you only pay for what makes a difference.
Will there be much mess or disruption?
We protect floors and furniture with dust sheets, lift as few floorboards as possible and tidy up at the end of each day. Also, we keep your heating and hot water running for as much of the job as we can.
Do I need a combi or a system boiler?
A combi suits homes with one bathroom, as it heats water on demand. However, if two people often shower at the same time, a system boiler with a hot water cylinder usually works better. We recommend the right option during your survey, based on how you actually use hot water.
Are you registered to install gas central heating?
Yes. We are Gas Safe registered (number 218175), Worcester Bosch accredited and a Which? Trusted Trader. Every gas installation is registered with Building Control, and you receive a compliance certificate once the work is complete.
