Need a boiler service in Barnsley?
D.E.S. Gas Safe Solutions are Gas Safe registered heating engineers based in Sheffield, working across Barnsley. Our base is in Ecclesfield, on the northern edge of Sheffield, so Barnsley is a short drive up the M1 for us.
We look after boilers and heating for homeowners and private landlords in the town. That means a yearly boiler service, boiler repairs when something goes wrong, boiler installation and replacement, central heating work and air source heat pumps.
We're Gas Safe and F-Gas registered, and accredited installers for Vaillant, Worcester Bosch and Ideal. You'll get a clear written price before any work starts.
Servicing and repairs
Keeping your boiler safe and reliable
A boiler service once a year is the best way to avoid a breakdown. We check the boiler inside and out, clean what needs cleaning, test that it's burning gas safely and leave you a written service report. Most manufacturers need a yearly service by a Gas Safe engineer to keep the warranty valid, so keep the paperwork.
If your boiler has stopped, keeps losing pressure or gives you heating but no hot water, book a boiler repair. We find the cause first, explain it in plain words and tell you the cost before we fix it, using genuine parts where they're needed. If an older boiler isn't worth repairing any more, we'll tell you honestly rather than keep patching it.
In a cold snap, a boiler that stops with a fault code often has a frozen condensate pipe outside. Pouring warm, not boiling, water over the pipe usually gets it going again. If it keeps happening, we can reroute or insulate the pipe.
New boilers and heating
Thinking about a new boiler or heat pump?
For boiler installation and replacement, we size the new boiler to your home and your hot water use rather than just matching the old one. We fit combi, system and regular boilers, flush the system and fit a magnetic filter to protect it. As accredited Vaillant, Worcester Bosch and Ideal installers, we can register a qualifying boiler for the manufacturer's extended warranty.
A new boiler has to be notified under the Building Regulations. We do that for you as Gas Safe engineers, and the Gas Safe Register sends you a Building Regulations Compliance Certificate, so you don't need to apply to Barnsley Council's building control yourself.
If radiators heat unevenly or you want better control, our central heating work covers radiators, pipework, controls and smart thermostats, starting with a heat-loss calculation room by room.
Thinking of moving away from gas? We design and fit air source heat pumps after a heat-loss survey of your home. Most heat pumps on houses count as permitted development, but if your home is listed or in one of Barnsley's conservation areas, check with Barnsley Council's planning team before you commit.
Before you book
Good to know before you call
If you rent from Barnsley Council, your boiler is looked after by Berneslai Homes, which manages the council's homes across the borough. Report heating faults to them rather than booking a private engineer, as the repair is their job.
If you rent from a private landlord, tell them first too. The boiler is usually theirs to repair, and by law they must have a Gas Safe engineer check every gas appliance once a year. We work for private landlords as well as homeowners.
To help us quote or find a fault quickly, have the boiler's make and model to hand, roughly how old it is and any fault code on the display. A photo of the boiler and the label under its cover is ideal.
Whoever you choose, ask to see their Gas Safe ID card. Every Gas Safe engineer carries one, and you can check it on the Gas Safe Register. You can also see the other towns we cover on our areas page.
