LPG & Oil Heating in Brighton and Hove

In Brighton and Hove, that covers Kemp Town, Hove, Preston Park, Hanover, Seven Dials, Fiveways, Patcham, Portslade. Brighton and Hove is known for its Regency architecture, extensive Victorian terraced housing, and later 20th-century development, all within a compact coastal city where many properties are in conservation areas and a significant number are listed.

Property styles in Brighton and Hove
Regency squares and terraces are concentrated around Brunswick, Kemp Town and the seafront, with dense Victorian terraced housing across much of the wider city, and later suburban housing further from the centre. Basement conversions, loft conversions and rear extensions are common project types on the terraced stock, subject to conservation area and party wall considerations.
Planning considerations
Brighton & Hove City Council is the local planning authority. The city has one of the highest concentrations of conservation areas of any local authority in the South East, and many properties are listed, particularly in the Regency squares. Basement work also requires careful consideration of structural and drainage issues in a dense urban setting.

FAQs
LPG & Oil Heating in Brighton and Hove: FAQs
Do you provide lpg & oil heating across all of Brighton and Hove?
Yes, we cover the BN1, BN2 and BN3 postcode areas in full, including Kemp Town, Hove, Preston Park, Hanover, Seven Dials, Fiveways, Patcham, Portslade.
Is LPG work covered by Gas Safe registration?
Yes, but under a separate LPG category on the Gas Safe Register — an engineer registered for mains natural gas isn't automatically qualified for LPG. We check and confirm registration for the fuel type involved.
Who is qualified to work on an oil-fired boiler?
OFTEC-registered engineers, rather than Gas Safe, which covers mains and LPG gas only. It's worth checking an engineer's OFTEC registration before any oil heating work goes ahead.
Can I extend a listed Regency property in Brighton?
Alterations to listed buildings require listed building consent in addition to any planning permission, and the historic character of Regency terraces means proposals are considered carefully. We assess feasibility on a case-by-case basis.
