FAQs
LPG & Oil Heating in Maidstone: FAQs
Do you provide lpg & oil heating across all of Maidstone?
Yes, we cover the ME14, ME15 and ME16 postcode areas in full, including Allington, Barming, Loose, Penenden Heath, Tovil, Weavering, Bearsted.
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.
Does flood risk from the River Medway affect extensions in Maidstone?
For properties in flood risk areas, extension design may need to take flood resilience into account, and a flood risk assessment can be required as part of a planning application. We check the Environment Agency flood mapping for your property during feasibility.
