How long does it take to get to Combe Martin from Barnstaple?

About 20–25 minutes, depending on the route — either via Ilfracombe along the A399, or via the B3229 over the hill. I'll factor in the drive when planning visits and give you a realistic arrival window.

Do you cover Berrynarbor?

Yes. It's very close to Combe Martin and I visit it as part of the same area.

I have a holiday let in Combe Martin — can you sort the gas safety certificate?

Yes. Tell me when the property will be between guests and I'll fit the inspection in. Certificate issued by email the same day.

My cottage is up a side valley off the main street — is that a problem?

Not as long as I can get there by van. Some of the side roads in Combe Martin are narrow, but I'm used to Devon lanes. Just give me the full address and I'll figure out the best approach. ---

Boiler Repairs

Boiler faults in Combe Martin — I'll drive out from Barnstaple or coordinate around an Ilfracombe visit depending on timing. I work on Vaillant, Worcester Bosch, Baxi, and Ideal boilers and diagnose the fault properly. If a part is needed, you'll get the cost to approve before I order anything. Call me and I'll give you a realistic timeframe.

Boiler Servicing

Older properties in Combe Martin benefit from annual servicing more than most — the valley location and older housing stock means boilers work hard. I check every safety component, clean the heat exchanger, test combustion efficiency, and give you a plain-English summary of the boiler's condition. Book in spring or summer if you can.

Landlord Gas Safety Checks

Combe Martin has a healthy holiday let market — the beach at the end of the main street, the dramatic coastline, and the proximity to Exmoor all draw visitors. If you rent your property, you need a CP12 gas safety certificate for every gas appliance, renewed every 12 months. I'll carry out the inspection, issue the certificate by email the same day, and set up a renewal reminder.

Smart Thermostats

Remote heating control via Hive, Google Nest, or Tado is worth considering if you have a second home or holiday let in Combe Martin. Prevent frozen pipes over winter and manage heating around guest arrivals without being physically present. I install and commission all three.

Central Heating Repairs

Older Combe Martin properties sometimes have ageing pipework and systems that have never had a power flush. Cold spots on radiators, uneven heat, noisy pipes — these are worth addressing. I diagnose properly before recommending any work.

Unvented Cylinders

G3-qualified unvented cylinder servicing and repairs, available in Combe Martin. Manufacturers require an annual service on a Megaflo or similar to keep the warranty valid — and it's the safe thing to do on a pressurised system. I can carry that out. ---
