FAQs
LPG & Oil Heating in Dorking: FAQs
Do you provide lpg & oil heating across all of Dorking?
Yes, we cover the RH4 and RH5 postcode areas in full, including Westcott, Milton Heath, Pixham, Ranmore, North Holmwood, Betchworth.
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 barns near Dorking be converted to residential use?
It depends on the specific planning history and policy for the building, including whether Class Q permitted development rights apply. This is assessed individually for each building.
