Buckingham is a market town about 12 miles west of Milton Keynes, straight out along the A421 from our base at Grange Farm. It has its own town council but the district council is Buckinghamshire Council, not Milton Keynes. The town sits in a loop of the River Great Ouse, with Bourton Park and Chandos Park running along the river and the old railway line now a footpath called the Railway Walk. The University of Buckingham occupies the Hunter Street area at the top of the river loop. The town centre is a conservation area. A fire in 1725 destroyed much of Castle Street, Castle Hill and Market Hill, so what stands there now is largely Georgian, in red brick and the local pale limestone, with the Old Gaol of 1748 and the Town Hall in the Market Square. Bourtonville on the London Road side was built after the First World War, and Westfields and Bath Lane are mid-twentieth century. From 1971 the Buckingham Development Company pushed the town out to the south and east and the bypass followed in the 1980s. Linden Village, Badgers and Lace Hill to the south-east and Mount Pleasant to the south are all modern estates, and building has carried on at Tingewick Road and St Rumbold's Fields on the west side. Mains water here comes from Anglian Water and is hard. That matters for heating: scale builds up in hot water cylinders, combi heat exchangers and kettles, and it is the first thing we think about when a boiler in Buckingham is losing hot water performance.
With a population of approximately around 14,300, Buckingham has a varied housing stock that creates diverse heating requirements. Our Gas Safe registered engineers (registration #957816) understand the specific challenges of working in Buckingham's properties, from georgian brick and limestone town houses and shops around market hill, castle street and west street, many of them listed and all within the conservation area to student lets and hmos around the university of buckingham on hunter street and the town centre.

I had a great experience with the boiler annual service. Sam was very professional and friendly. I’m very happy with the service and will definitely continue using their annual service every year.
Common questions from homeowners and landlords in the Buckingham area.
Yes. Buckingham is one of the easier runs for us. Our base is at Grange Farm on the west side of Milton Keynes, MK8, so we go out on the A421 and are in Buckingham in about 20 to 25 minutes in normal traffic. That covers the whole town, from the University and the town centre to Lace Hill, Linden Village, Page Hill and Mount Pleasant, and Maids Moreton on the north-east edge. If you have no heating or hot water, call the emergency line on 07805 844 016 and we will tell you honestly when we can get to you.
Sometimes. The rules about the building itself are for Buckinghamshire Council, not us, but in practice the conservation area affects where a flue can come out and how it looks from the street, and listed buildings can need consent for external changes. Older Georgian houses around Market Hill and Castle Street also tend to have long pipe runs and thick walls. We survey first, agree a fixed price before any work starts, and if the flue route is not straightforward we say so up front rather than on the day.
Yes. Buckingham is supplied by Anglian Water, which classes the water across its region as hard to very hard. In a combi boiler the hot water side heats mains water directly, so scale builds up inside the plate heat exchanger over the years and you notice the hot water going lukewarm or hot and cold. In a system boiler the scale collects in the cylinder instead. A regular annual service picks this up early, and when we fit a new boiler we will talk you through the options for protecting it.
Yes. We are Gas Safe registered, number 957816, and carry out landlord gas safety inspections (CP12) across Buckingham, including HMOs and student lets around Hunter Street and the town centre. A CP12 covers every gas appliance and the pipework in the property and must be renewed every 12 months, with a copy given to the tenants. If you have several properties in the town we can book them on the same day, and we can combine the inspection with a boiler service so you are only arranging one visit.
It depends on what has failed and what parts are still available. Many of the boilers on Linden Village and Badgers are now well past the age where parts get scarce, and if a repair only buys a year or two we will tell you. We are Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Baxi and Ideal approved installers, every new boiler comes with a 12-month workmanship guarantee and a free Hive thermostat, and we clean the old system before connecting the new boiler so the sludge from the old radiators does not shorten its life.
