Plumbers in Totley, Sheffield
Heat365 are Gas Safe registered plumbers and heating engineers working across Totley, Totley Rise and Totley Brook in S17. Most of our work here is on inter-war and post-war family houses — heating that has been extended, altered and added to over the years, and boilers coming to the end of their life. Call us 24/7.
Heating and plumbing for Totley's inter-war and post-war family homes
Totley sits on the far south-western edge of Sheffield in the S17 postcode, right up against the Derbyshire boundary — beyond the top of the village the road climbs towards Owler Bar and open country on the edge of the Peak District. It was part of Derbyshire until it was taken into Sheffield in the 1930s, and it still has a semi-rural feel where the built-up area runs out.
Alongside the older stone properties in the historic part of the village, a great deal of Totley went up in the twentieth century. Garden-suburb style developments were laid out in the 1930s, and further house building followed after the Second World War, including the Totley Grange estate in the mid-1960s. The result, particularly around Totley Rise and Totley Brook, is a lot of substantial family housing of a broadly similar age.
That is where most of our Totley work comes from. Houses of this vintage have usually been modernised in stages — a rear extension here, a kitchen opened up there, a loft converted, a bathroom moved — and the heating system has been asked to keep up with each change without ever being looked at as a whole. Typically that shows up as rooms that never warm through properly, radiators that are undersized for the space they now heat, pipework of two or three different eras joined together, and a boiler that is working harder than it was ever specified to.
We deal with all of it: boiler replacement and servicing, radiator and system upgrades, heating extended into new or altered rooms, bathroom and kitchen plumbing, and emergency callouts when something fails. Every gas job is carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and we explain what we've found before we start.

“Needed a new boiler installed asap, got in contact with Ricky. Straight away he quoted & fitted me in quickly. The lads stayed for 10 plus hours and returned the next day to ensure I had water and heating. Can't fault the lads at all.”
“Great service, responded quickly and sorted my boiler out so I had heating and hot water back on in this freezing weather. Came out late on a Saturday night to fix. NHS discount too!!”
“Thank you to Rick and the team for fitting our new boiler and radiators. I waited a while before leaving a review, but 6 months down the line it's still working just as good. I would highly recommend.”

Our 1930s house still has some of the original pipework — does all of it need replacing?
Not usually. In houses of this age we normally find several generations of pipework joined together, and only some of it is actually a problem. We check what condition each section is in and how well it flows before recommending anything — often the sensible answer is to replace the poor runs and the joints that are likely to fail, not the whole house.
We're modernising room by room. Should we replace radiators as we go, or do them all at once?
Either can work, but the order matters. If radiators are replaced piecemeal without recalculating what each room now needs, you can end up with a system that is unbalanced and a boiler that short-cycles. We're happy to work through it in stages with you — we'll just size each new radiator for the room as it will finally be, so the system still works as a whole at the end.
The water pressure drops as soon as someone else turns a tap on. What causes that?
It is usually one of three things: the flow rate coming into the property, the type of system you have, or a restriction somewhere in the pipework such as an old stop tap, a partly closed valve or a narrow section of pipe. We measure the incoming flow first rather than assuming, because the fix is completely different depending on which of those it turns out to be.
Our radiators are boxed in behind covers — does that affect the heating?
It can. Enclosing a radiator restricts the airflow it relies on and can also affect a thermostatic valve, which sits in that same trapped pocket of warm air and shuts down earlier than it should. If a boxed-in room is one of the cold ones, that's worth looking at before anything more drastic is considered.
