Plumbing & Central Heating Systems

Our team of Gas Safe registered heating engineers are specialists in the installation, servicing and repair of gas central heating, solar powered systems and underfloor heating.   If you have an existing system which you are looking to upgrade then you will find that central heating systems have evolved a lot over the past few years
and there are many new choices that were not previously available.  This is great - but can make choosing the right system confusing. We are happy to offer impartial advice on the choices available, whether you are considering an upgrade or a new system.

 Maintenance & Servicing

It is important to highlight the difference that planned and regular maintenance can make. Prevention reduces breakdowns and the necessity for emergency call outs.

Service and maintenance contacts are available for short and the long term, tailored to your specific needs.

Fire Detection Systems

Whatever the size and complexity of the fire detection system - either networked or a stand alone system - for small, large, single or multiple sites, Diligent Developments Ltd has the required expertise.


When a fire alarm installation is required the customer or organisation is often faced with a bewildering array of decisions. For example, is compliance with British Standards necessary? If so, is it B.S.5839 Part 1 or Part 6? Is B.S.6266 or B.S. 7273 relevant? What category of system is called for? M,P or L? Type 1, 2 or 3? What grade of system is required? A - F? Is the system to alert the fire brigade and if so by what method? We can assist with all of these questions and many others.

 

Roofing
We are Specialist Contractors for all pitched roofing systems including:-

- Slating: Natural and man-made
- Tiling: Concrete and clay. Both plain and large formats.

Our services also include the supply and installation of Velux Windows, fascias, soffits and guttering.

Damp Proofing
The problem of rising damp can arise for various reasons - the failure of an existing damp proof course (dpc), bridging due to the raising of external ground or internal floor levels, or in older buildings, the complete absence of a damp proof course.

It is important to note that the provision of a barrier against rising damp will only prevent further moisture rising from the ground and that all other sources of dampness must be eliminated as well. Give us a call today for a FREE quotation.
 Sound/Heat Insulation
Insulation can be used for thermal, acoustic and fire insulation in ceilings, walls, floors and roofs.  Increasing the energy efficiency in residential buildings involves improvements to the building envelope.

Inside buildings, the recommended maximum average for indoor background noise levels is 35 dB. In practice many tenants suffer from noise above this level because their building is not sufficiently sound proofed.

We can find the best thermal, acoustic and fire solutions to make both new and existing buildings sustainable, more energy efficient and help to protect the environment from the effects of climate change.
 Sound Testing & Air Pressure Testing
The New Building Regulations Approved Document E, (2003 Edition) was implemented on 1st July 2003 (with an amendment in 2004). Its primary objective is to raise the standard of sound insulation in all dwellings to counter the rising level of complaints received about noise transmission. Noise nuisance has a detrimental effect on a homeowner or resident's quality of life so the aim is to improve the sound insulation both between and within dwellings, as well as between rooms in hostels, hotels and residential homes. The scope has been extended to cover reverberation in common parts of blocks of flats and acoustic conditions in schools.


We carry out sound inspection testing and air pressure testing on new and existing dwellings, commercial and residential.
