It is the furthest town covered as standard, and it is covered deliberately: Andover shares Basingstoke's history as a London overspill town, which means the housing, the heating systems and consequently the faults are strikingly familiar territory. The expansion estates at Cricketers Way, Roman Way, Saxon Fields and Picket Twenty went up in successive waves from the 1960s to the present day, and each wave brought its own heating convention — heat-only boilers and cylinders early on, first-generation combis in the middle, and sealed high-efficiency systems with mechanical ventilation in the newest phases. Around the town centre sit older terraces and Georgian frontages along the High Street and Bridge Street, and beyond the bypass the SP11 villages: Weyhill, Abbotts Ann, Upper Clatford, Goodworth Clatford and Enham Alamein, several of which sit off the gas grid or at the end of long, exposed supply runs. That spread means Andover work covers the full range — full central heating installations in older village property, straightforward combi swaps on the estates, unvented cylinders in the larger houses out toward the Clatfords, and an increasing amount of domestic air conditioning in the newest Picket Twenty and Augusta Park homes, which are airtight to a standard that makes summer bedrooms genuinely uncomfortable. Andover is about eighteen miles west of the Basingstoke base along the A303 corridor — the furthest regular town on the patch, and still a single clear run. ### Property types in Andover - 1960s–1980s overspill estate housing at Cricketers Way, Roman Way and Saxon Fields - Recent high-airtightness developments at Picket Twenty and Augusta Park - Georgian and Victorian property around the High Street and Bridge Street - SP11 village housing at Abbotts Ann, Upper Clatford, Weyhill and Enham Alamein - Larger detached homes on the town's rural fringes running unvented cylinders ### What we are usually called out for here - Boiler replacements across the overspill estates, from £1,900 + VAT - Air conditioning for airtight new-build bedrooms and home offices - Full central heating installations in older village property - Powerflushing and system cleaning on long-neglected estate systems - Unvented cylinder installation for multi-bathroom homes - Landlord CP12 certificates and annual servicing across SP10 and SP11 Services ## Every service, available in Andover The full range is offered across SP10, SP11 at the same published prices as Basingstoke — there is no separate charge for coming to Andover.

Read more Why us ## Why choose SFB in Andover Every claim below is something that can be checked before you book: a registration number, an insurance figure, a published price or a written guarantee. ### The same estate systems, already understood Andover and Basingstoke expanded the same way in the same decades. The microbore, the back boilers and the airing-cupboard cylinders are the same designs seen daily on the home patch. ### Genuinely both trades Gas Safe 593588 and F-Gas Refcom REF1025590 held by the same engineer, so heating in winter and cooling in summer come from one point of contact and one guarantee. ### Planned properly for the distance Andover is eighteen miles out, so jobs are surveyed thoroughly and parts confirmed before the fitting date. Fewer return trips means less disruption for you. ### Published, fixed pricing No distance surcharge. Boilers from £1,900 + VAT, air conditioning from £1,600 + VAT, CP12 £90 + VAT, £90 + VAT per hour otherwise, quoted free and fixed once given. Local conditions ## The problems Andover properties actually have Building age, construction, water and exposure decide what goes wrong and what the honest fix is. These are the patterns that come up here. ### Overspill-era microbore, same as Basingstoke The 1960s and 70s Andover estates were plumbed in microbore on the same rationale as Basingstoke's — cheap and quick. Fifty years of untreated water later, the 8mm and 10mm runs are partially blocked with magnetite and the downstairs radiators sit lukewarm while the boiler cycles. Powerflushing with the correct pump pressure for microbore, followed by inhibitor and a magnetic filter, is the fix; brute force on small-bore pipe does more harm than good. ### Airtight new builds with nowhere for heat to go Picket Twenty and Augusta Park properties are built to modern airtightness standards with mechanical ventilation, and they hold summer heat exceptionally well. South-facing bedrooms regularly become unusable in July. Air conditioning is the practical answer, but external unit siting on these tight plots needs planning around boundaries, neighbouring windows and the estate's own restrictions — which is a survey conversation, not an afterthought. ### Exposed rural supply runs in the SP11 villages Out at Abbotts Ann, Weyhill and the Clatfords, pipework frequently runs through unheated outbuildings, crawl spaces and long external sections. Those are the pipes that freeze and split in a cold snap, and the condensate discharges that lock the boiler out overnight. Proper lagging, sensible re-routing and frost protection on the vulnerable sections prevent a January emergency that costs many times more than the preventative work. ### Hard chalk water shortening appliance life Andover shares the Hampshire chalk aquifer, so mains water is hard. Combi plate heat exchangers scale up, hot water temperature starts fluctuating, and unvented cylinder immersions fail early. Recognising scale as the cause rather than replacing components repeatedly saves money, and specifying appropriate scale protection at installation extends the appliance's working life considerably.

Questions ## Andoverquestions answered Anything not covered, call 07868 288452. 8am–5pm, Monday to Friday, with out-of-hours emergency call-outs available. Do you cover Andover?Yes. Andover SP10 and the surrounding SP11 villages are part of the regular coverage area, including Abbotts Ann, Upper and Goodworth Clatford, Weyhill, Enham Alamein and Charlton. How quickly can you get to Andover?Andover is about eighteen miles west of the Basingstoke base along the A303 corridor, so it is the longest regular run on the patch but a direct one. Booking depends on the week's diary; hours are 8am to 5pm Monday to Friday, with out-of-hours emergency call-outs for no heat, no hot water and leaks. Do you charge extra for Andover because of the distance?No. The published rates apply across the whole coverage area: boilers from £1,900 + VAT, air conditioning from £1,600 + VAT, CP12 at £90 + VAT and £90 + VAT per hour. Are emergency call-outs available in Andover?Yes, including out of hours, for no heat, no hot water and leaks. Call 07868 288452. Can you install air conditioning in a new build at Picket Twenty or Augusta Park?Yes. Systems are installed under F-Gas certification Refcom REF1025590 from £1,600 + VAT. On tight modern plots the outdoor unit position and condensate route are agreed at survey so there are no surprises on installation day. My village property is at the end of a long pipe run and freezes every winter — can you help?Yes. Vulnerable runs and condensate discharges are identified, re-routed where the building allows, and lagged and frost-protected where they cannot be moved. It is far cheaper than the emergency call it prevents. Do you handle full central heating installations in Andover?Yes — boiler, pipework, radiators and controls designed and fitted end to end, which is often the right answer in older village property where the existing system was never designed as a whole. What guarantees apply?A one-year workmanship guarantee on all work, manufacturer warranty on the appliance of up to ten years on a new boiler, £2 million public liability insurance, Gas Safe 593588 and F-Gas Refcom REF1025590.
