Heating & Plumbing for Student Housing
Student lets tend to have a fixed changeover date, several occupants sharing bathrooms, and long empty periods over the summer.
Student lets tend to have a fixed changeover date, several occupants sharing bathrooms, and long empty periods over the summer. Timing servicing and repairs around term dates matters as much as the work itself.
Working around term-time access
Occupants are often out during the day in term time and away entirely over holidays, so we plan visits around the calendar you give us rather than assuming standard office hours suit.
Checks before a new tenancy starts
A void period between tenancies is usually the easiest time to carry out a gas safety check and any repairs before new occupants move in.
What we need from you to quote
The changeover date, how many occupants will share the property, and whether the boiler and cylinder have coped with demand in previous tenancies.
Plan a student property changeover visit
Tell us your changeover date and occupant numbers and we will suggest when to book the gas safety check and any repairs.
Questions we get asked
Can you fit work in during the summer void?
That is usually the most practical window and we would encourage booking ahead of the new intake rather than during term time.
Do shared bathrooms need a bigger boiler?
Not always, but where several showers run close together a system boiler and cylinder may suit better than a combi. We can assess the property.
What if a fault is reported mid-term?
Tell us the symptoms and we will treat it as a fault call and work around the occupants' timetable where we can.
