What customers say

Great and quick communication. Clean and professional work. Had an outdoor tap fitted for the garden. Responses to the enquiry was quick and helpful. Arrived on time and the job was done friendly and professionally. Would very much recommend.

Steven responded immediately when my boiler was leaking. He found the fault replaced parts from stock in his van and got it working great. He checked all my radiators and the whole system is working better. He is friendly, professional and I recommend him.

I had Steven visit today to service my boiler, absolutely fantastic, efficient and even helped me diagnose a couple of other niggling issues without any further charge. I would highly recommend if anyone is looking for a reliable, knowledgeable and skilled plumber.

I contacted Steven and he came around first thing the following day and sorted the problem promptly, clearly explaining the issue, the work required and his fee. He was very courteous and left no mess. I will recommend him to anyone.

Very quick response to my email enquiry, then the two radiators were replaced within days. They looked great and the work was undertaken with care. I would highly recommend and would definitely use the company again if I had any plumbing or heating needs.

Contacted Steven via email about a leak we had on our toilet. Had a prompt reply and arranged a date/time to visit. He arrived on time, managed to fix the issue within a couple of hours and left everything clean and tidy. Very professional and would highly recommend.

I had problems with my toilet flushing for 2 years of living in my flat, I had other plumbers look at it but was told to replace the full toilet. Steve came out the same day and replaced a valve in less than an hour and got the toilet working like new, full flush every time 🙂

FAQs

How much does a thermostat installation cost?

Thermostat installation costs depend entirely on the type of control being fitted and whether the parts are supplied or bought independently. HouseWarm prices across Newcastle and the surrounding areas start at £60 labour to install a standard room stat or a single thermostatic radiator valve, rising to £80 for a smart control when the unit is already supplied. Fully comprehensive supply and fit packages for Hive systems range between £220 and £250, which include the thermostat, receiver, and hub – often upgraded during a professional boiler installation to maximise home energy efficiency.

How long does a thermostat installation take?

A straightforward smart thermostat or heating control installation usually takes between 30 and 60 minutes. This timeframe covers wiring the new receiver to the boiler and configuring the wireless connection. However, if thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) are being fitted, a section or the full heating system might need to be drained down, meaning replacing all the valves across a property could take a lot longer.

What are the benefits of using TRVs?

Thermostatic Radiator Valves (TRVs) provide individual control over the temperature of each room. Instead of overheating the entire property based on a single central thermostat, TRVs allow unused spaces, like guest bedrooms or hallways, to be turned down. According to official Energy Saving Trust advice on heating controls, zone-controlling a property with TRVs is one of the most effective ways to lower annual energy bills and improve home efficiency.

Why does my thermostat not reach the temperature I set it to?

If your thermostat isn’t reaching the set temperature, it could be due to poor placement, low battery power, or sensor issues. Another common cause is an undersized heating system, where the radiators or boiler aren’t powerful enough to heat the space properly.

Use our room heating calculator to check if your radiators are correctly sized. If your heating system is the right size but the thermostat still isn’t working, it may need recalibrating or replacing.
