What have we been up to this week?
Our regular services and repairs (click on each picture to expand)
| | With winter seeming to come quicker and quicker each year, everyone is beginning to put their heating on for the first time since the beginning of the year. Unfortunately, this is the time you are most likely to discover your boiler has developed a fault whilst it's been sleeping through the summer! We have had no end of calls from our loyal customers asking for our help, and we try to give each and every one of you our fullest attention. |
while a fault is no good for you, they are certainly helping with the training of our apprentice. Once she is fully trained, we will have an extra member of staff on hand so we will be able to get out to more calls with an even faster response rate!
New heating and hot water system at Gorran Haven
 Our apprentice working hard to pump the system up to 10 bar of pressure |  The pressure gauge, exactly where we want it! |  Over 2 hours of hard work and dedication to ensure everything is right |
We have now completed all the pipe work at the renovation project in Gorran Haven. The next step of the process is to pump water into the system up to 10 bar of pressure. The MAXIMUM your system would ever run at of its own accord is 3 bar of pressure, so if there was any fault in our pipework we would certainly know about it now!
If you would like to read a bit more on water pressure in a heating system, you can do so on the Baxi website -> HERE <-
This is a very important stage of the project as we need to be positive that there are no faults, not only for our peace of mind, but yours too! All of the pipework at this project is currently exposed so we can check that our work is perfect before the floor is put in place at the project.

Just a little bit of space to squeeze in the installation of a toilet, shower and basin.
| A house in Ashton near Penzance has recently undergone extensive renovation, converting a bungalow into a 2 story house. The company carrying out this renovation is one we work closely with on a regular basis- Prestige Property Services. This week we completed our work on this project by completing the finishing touches on the bathroom by installing the toilet, shower and basin, then neatly sealing the gaps with silicone. Unfortunately we forgot to get a picture of the finished product, however here are some pictures of our work in progress to enjoy. |  Fitting the toilet to sit neatly inside the unit |
 Drilling a hole in the unit to fit the toilet bowl |  Attaching the wall fixings to the tiles for the shower |  The finished shower |
Progress on our chimney
| Last weekend we made even more progress on the rebuilding of our chimney at our own home. It may not be finished yet, but it is certainly coming along nicely. The brick work is now half completed and the slates have been replaced along the front elevation where the old chimney used to extend to. |  |
