HEATING AND GAS ENGINEERS
— David Hockley, Director
East Kent's Leading
Heating and Gas Engineers
Established in Kent for over 50 years. Expertise in all areas of domestic and industrial heating and plumbing.
In business over half a century since 1962. Put that in perspective, in 1962, Harold McMillan was prime minister and the Beatles had their first hit "please please me" . A lot has changed. We have outlived all of that and are still here - what does that tell you?
Important Update on Gas Safety Certifications
Upcoming Changes to Domestic Gas Safety Testing: We want to keep our valued customers informed of a major shift in our industry. Starting October 1st, 2026, the criteria for Gas Safety Certifications will become much stricter. The new regulations completely remove the "permissible pressure drop" allowance on isolated gas pipework. As your registered Gas Engineers, we want to help you understand these changes—which are paving the way for a greener, Hydrogen-blended gas network—and how they might impact your next inspection.
