Heating & plumbing in Bishopstoke
This is home. RGW has been run out of Bishopstoke since 2009, which means most of the work we do here came from someone down the road recommending us — and that when a Bishopstoke customer calls with a leak, we're minutes away rather than an hour.
Two Bishopstokes, two sorts of heating problem
The village splits fairly neatly. Old Bishopstoke, running down toward the Itchen, still has plenty of 18th and 19th century property — solid walls, awkward pipe runs, high ceilings and rooms that take real output to heat properly. Undersizing a boiler here is a genuine risk, and so is fitting a combi to a house with three bathrooms and a bad mains flow rate.
New Bishopstoke, and the estates east of the village, is a different job entirely: better insulated, more predictable, often a system boiler and cylinder in an airing cupboard that's now fifteen or twenty years old and coming to the end of its life. Straightforward work, usually done in a day.
We quote for the house in front of us rather than a category, which is easier to do when you already know the street.
The bit that matters in a village
The person who prices your job is the person who turns up to do it. No call centre, no subcontracted fitter, and no incentive for us to sell you something you don't need — because we'll still be living here next year, and so will you.
