We’re incredibly proud to be supporting our engineer George and his friend Jake as they take on the Race2Raise Charity Banger Rally this September! 🚗🌍

On 13th September, they’ll leave Charlestown Harbour in Cornwall, head to Plymouth for the ferry to Santander, then make their way across Europe to Benidorm over 7 days, 7 countries and plenty of challenges along the way.

Their car has to be at least 15 years old or worth less than £1,000, and George and Jake are funding the entire trip themselves, including the car, preparation, fuel, ferry and campsites. This means every penny raised goes directly to their chosen charities.

❤️ The Ollie Young Foundation
A volunteer-run charity funding paediatric brain tumour research and supporting families affected by the disease.

🧡 MS Society
Supporting people affected by Multiple Sclerosis and funding vital research. This is also a cause particularly close to us at DB Heating, with both George and our Managing Director, Lawrence Barnes, having close family affected by MS.

George has been with DB Heating since his apprenticeship, so we’re delighted to be getting behind him and Jake and have made donations to both charities.

If any of our customers, suppliers, friends or fellow local businesses would like to support them, every donation would be hugely appreciated.

Businesses who donate can also have their company logo displayed on the rally car as a thank you for their support.

Best of luck George and Jake. We’ll be following the journey and hoping the old banger makes it all the way to Benidorm! 🚗💨🇪🇸

Looking back at this install we shared with you last month, has us thinking, most people will never see pipework like this once the job is finished!

But that doesn't stop our team, we still believe it should be done properly. 👌

On this project our installation team completely redesigned and rebuilt the control and pipework layout from scratch, to make the most of the efficiency available from the new boiler. Their attention to detail really shows!

From symmetrical copper runs and correctly supported pipework, to labelled wiring and accessible controls, every part of this install was designed with long-term reliability, serviceability and neatness in mind.

Anyone can hide pipework behind boxing or inside cupboards, the real test is whether it still looks good when everything is left exposed.

Quality workmanship isn’t always the quickest, or cheapest way of doing things, but it’s the right way.

40+ years of heating this home… and the difference speaks for itself! 👀

This old Trianco boiler had certainly done its time, but it wasn’t just inefficient in fuel usage — it was inefficient in its use of space too.

By redesigning the layout completely, we’ve transformed this cramped plant room into a far cleaner, more serviceable and far more efficient heating system.

✔️ Modern high efficiency Worcester Bosch boiler, huge reduction in emissions and fuel costs
✔️ Re-piped and reorganised heating controls
✔️ S-Plan conversion for more efficient control of heating and hot water
✔️ Improved accessibility for future servicing and maintenance
✔️ Significantly cleaner and more reliable setup

Sometimes replacing a boiler is about far more than just changing the box on the floor.

We think the engineers have done a cracking job on this one 👏🔥

A boiler change does not have to be boring!

When we replaced this customer’s boiler, they were already redecorating and saw it as the perfect opportunity to bring the heating system up to date at the same time.

Rather than simply replacing like-for-like, they chose darker anthracite radiators to complement the muted green wall panelling, and we think the finished look works brilliantly!

Modern heating does not just have to perform well. With the right choices, it can look like it belongs in the room too.

Thinking about updating your home? Whether it is a boiler replacement, radiator upgrade, smart heating controls, or making the whole system look a bit more modern, DB Heating can help you plan the best option.

What would you change about your heating system?

A beautiful bathroom recently supplied and installed by our team.

The customer had a clear vision for a bathroom that sat somewhere between modern and classic country styling, and we think the finished result works brilliantly.

The deep navy vanity unit, LED backlit mirror, timber-effect flooring and stone-finish bath splashback all come together really well. The LED downlighting to the bath panel is a particularly nice finishing touch.

We carried out the supply and installation of the sanitaryware, fixtures and fittings, helping bring the customer’s chosen design to life.

Whether you need a simple tap replacement, help fitting items you have already chosen, or a complete bathroom overhaul including plumbing, fixtures, fittings and minor building works, DB Heating can help.

First fix done right! 🔧

Just because pipework will be hidden once the property is finished does not mean it should be treated as less important.

At DB Heating Ltd, we believe the standard behind the walls, under the floors, and out of sight matters just as much as the parts you see every day.

These photos show a recent first fix completed by our team, with clean, detailed pipework installed with care, precision, and pride. We take the same approach on every job: do it properly, do it neatly, and do it to a standard we are proud to put our name to.

High standards are not just for the finished look.
