Heating in Merton

Wimbledon and Wimbledon Park are Victorian and Edwardian, with substantial houses on the hill and terraces below it, and a conservation area covering a good deal of the older centre. The work follows the pattern of the stock: multiple bathrooms, loft conversions, and hot water demand that has outgrown whatever is installed. Stored hot water at mains pressure is usually the right answer, sized against the number of outlets and limited by the incoming main, which is why we measure that first rather than quote from a photograph.

South of the district line the borough changes character completely. Morden and much of Mitcham went up between the wars and just after, built out along the Northern line extension, with a large amount of ex-local-authority housing among it. These are smaller, simpler properties where a well-chosen combi is genuinely the right answer, and where the useful spend is on the system rather than the badge: a flush on tired pipework, radiators that are actually the right size, and controls that work.

Raynes Park and Colliers Wood sit between the two, and between them they produce the steadiest kind of work — replacements, services and certificates on systems twenty to thirty years old that are approaching the end of their lives in an orderly way. Merton is one of the boroughs where the honest conversation is most often about timing: a boiler that will get through this winter but not the next is worth planning for in September, not discovering in January.
