January often arrives with a sense of gloom. The festive season is over, the days are short and dark, and the excitement of a new year can be overshadowed by cold weather and fatigue on return to work. If you’re suffering from the January blues, you’re certainly not alone. However, there are ways to lift your spirits, and one of the most effective approaches is by focusing on the set-up of your home. A warm, functional, and comfortable living space has a bigger impact on your mood than you might think. At GJS Plumbing and Heating, we’re here to help you maintain the comfort of your home and cast out those January blues.

Plumbing Problems

Nothing adds stress to an already difficult month like plumbing issues. A dripping tap, a clogged drain, or a burst pipe can wreak havoc on your home. Our Gas Safe registered plumbers and heating engineers are equipped to identify and fix those problems, helping to prevent further damage and costly repairs. Attempting to resolve plumbing issues yourself can sometimes lead to more extensive damage or injury.

By calling GJS Plumbing and Heating, you can feel content in knowing the job is done right, saving you stress and money in the long run. We even offer emergency plumbing services with transparent pricing, so you’ll know what to expect before we arrive.

Bathroom Transformations

One way to bring a touch of luxury and comfort to your home is by upgrading your bathroom. A bathroom renovation changes the aesthetic of your home in a way that best suits you, creating a safe and relaxing private area.

Our expert fitters can design and install everything from walk-in showers and wet rooms to complete bathroom suites. We handle every step of the renovation process, including plumbing, tiling, plastering, and carpentry. With multiple options such as heated towel rails and ambient lighting, we can help you create the perfect space to escape the winter chill.

Whether it’s a small upgrade or a complete renovation, a perfect bathroom can be a game-changer for your home and your mood, providing a much-needed retreat during the cold, dark days of January.

Saving Energy

Winter is a time when your heating system works hardest, and it’s important to make sure it’s running efficiently. We offer professional boiler servicing and maintenance to keep your home warm and your energy bills down. Regular servicing not only extends the lifespan of your boiler, but also guarantees it operates safely and quickly.

If your boiler hasn’t been serviced recently, January is the perfect time to schedule a check-up. Our Gas Safe registered engineers provide thorough inspections and maintenance tailored to your boiler, whether it’s a combi, system, or traditional model. We can also recommend upgrades or adjustments, saving you money and reducing your carbon footprint.

Power Flushing

If your radiators are taking too long to warm up, or your central heating system isn’t working as it should, it might be time for a power flush. This deep-cleaning process removes dirt, debris, and sludge from your system, improving its efficiency and reliability. Power flushing can save you money, increase the lifespan of your system by preventing blockages and corrosion, and ensure that your radiators warm up quickly and evenly.

Our team uses specialist equipment to perform power flushes, restoring your heating system to optimal condition. It’s a worthwhile investment that not only protects your home, but also contributes to a more comfortable and cosy living environment.

Caring for your home can be a powerful antidote to the January blues. Start by addressing plumbing issues, upgrading your bathroom, or improving your heating system, so that you can create a space that’s warm, inviting, and stress-free just in time for the New Year.

Embarking on the journey of upgrading your boiler in the UK can feel like navigating through a maze of options and decisions. At GJS Plumbing & Heating, we understand that a new boiler represents a significant investment for any homeowner. That’s why we’re here to guide you through understanding the costs involved, ensuring you make an informed decision that suits your home and budget.

The heart of your home deserves nothing but the best, and when it comes to installing a new boiler, the average cost typically ranges between £2,500 and £3,000. This estimate not only covers the boiler itself but also the professional installation service that comes with it. However, it’s crucial to note that several factors can influence the final price tag.

Choosing the right type of boiler is paramount. Whether it’s a combi boiler, known for its compactness and convenience, a system boiler ideal for homes bustling with the activity of multiple bathrooms, or a conventional boiler that, while less common, offers its unique advantages, each type has its own cost implications.

The size of your castle plays a significant role too. A larger abode requires a more robust boiler to keep every corner cosy, affecting both the cost of the boiler and the installation. On the flip side, smaller homes might find savings with a more compact solution.

Lastly, the question of replacing an existing boiler adds another layer to the cost. If it’s simply a matter of upgrading, you’re looking at the cost of the new unit plus installation. However, if an old boiler is bowing out, remember to consider the disposal of the old guard alongside welcoming the new.

In summary, while the average cost of a new boiler in the UK hovers around £2,500, the specific needs of your home, from its size to the type of boiler and whether you’re replacing an old unit, all play a crucial role in the final investment. At GJS Plumbing & Heating, we’re committed to providing you with transparent, tailored advice, ensuring your home’s warmth is secured without any surprises.
