Question 1

Do you cover all of Shirley?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Shirley and the surrounding B90 streets are part of standard coverage, including the family avenues and executive estates on the Birmingham–Solihull border. The area’s large 1930s semis and detached homes keep us busy with central heating upgrades, underfloor heating in kitchen-diner extensions, bathroom renovations and unvented system conversions.

Question 2

Can you convert my old open-vented system to unvented?

Accepted Answer

Yes — this is one of our most popular Shirley jobs. We decommission ageing open-vented systems with their loft tanks and install a modern high-pressure unvented hot water cylinder, which delivers stronger, more consistent hot water across multiple bathrooms and frees up loft space. We handle all the G3 certification and building control notification that unvented installations legally require.

Question 3

Do you install underfloor heating in kitchen extensions?

Accepted Answer

Yes — underfloor heating for large kitchen-diner extensions is a frequent Shirley project. We design every system in-house with genuine room-by-room heat-loss calculations that account for your window sizes, insulation and floor finish, then pressure-test before screed and commission each zone to its calculated output — giving even, efficient warmth across an open-plan space without radiators taking up wall room.

Question 4

How quickly can you reach me in an emergency in Shirley?

Accepted Answer

Shirley sits within our service radius, so we aim for fast arrival on burst pipes, leaks and breakdowns across the B90 postcodes. Call our 24/7 line for calm guidance on isolating your mains, and you get an SMS with a live GPS tracking link showing the engineer’s real-time location and ETA.

Question 5

Are you Gas Safe registered and insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Forgewell is Gas Safe registered and carries £5 million public liability and £10 million employers’ liability insurance. Our bathroom and installation work is also covered by a 24-month workmanship guarantee, and we use only our own directly employed in-house team across Shirley, never subcontractors.
