Heating and Plumbing on Houseboats and Static Caravans
We work on the mains-fed water and gas plumbing side of houseboats and static caravans connected to a fixed shore or site supply — not marine gas systems, on-board tanks, or anything requiring boat-specific or leisure vehicle qualifications, which sit outside what we cover..

What we can help with
Where a static caravan or a houseboat's shore connection ties into a conventional mains water or gas supply, the pipework and appliances from that connection point can often be treated much like a small home.
What's outside our scope
On-board gas systems, boat-specific plumbing below decks, and leisure vehicle gas certification require qualifications we don't hold, and we'll say so plainly rather than take on work we can't properly cover.
Being honest about the limit
It's better to know upfront that a marine or leisure-specific engineer is needed for certain jobs than to have work done by someone without the right accreditation for that specific system.
Questions we get asked
Can you fit a boiler on my static caravan?
If it's a static caravan on a mains-fed pitch connection with standard domestic-style pipework, often yes — we'd confirm the setup first.
Can you service my houseboat's gas system?
Generally no — on-board marine gas systems need a marine-qualified engineer rather than a standard Gas Safe domestic registration.
How do I find out if my caravan counts as 'mains-fed'?
If water and gas arrive via a fixed connection from the site rather than being carried in on-board tanks or bottles, it's generally mains-fed for this purpose — worth confirming with your site.
