Good to know in Cradley Heath
- Water: most homes in the B64 postcode district are supplied by South Staffs Water. Hardness in the main supply zone is 205 mg/l (hard). Harder water leaves limescale in boilers, immersion heaters, showers and taps, so it is worth asking about a scale reducer or filter when a new boiler or water heater goes in.
- Drains and sewers: Severn Trent looks after the public sewers here, including most shared drains that serve more than one property. A blocked drain inside your own boundary is usually yours to clear.
- Gas: Cadent runs the gas network across the West Midlands. If you smell gas, call the free national gas emergency line on 0800 111 999 straight away, before you call a gas engineer.
- Planning and building regulations: Sandwell Council handles planning applications and building control for Cradley Heath. Larger jobs such as extensions, new windows and rewiring need building regulations sign off, which your tradesperson can often self certify through a scheme such as Gas Safe, NICEIC, NAPIT or FENSA.
Water figures: Severn Trent and South Staffs Water supply zone data, 2025 to 2026, via TapWaterData (read 3 Nov 2026). Check your own postcode with your water company, as hardness varies by street.
What a gas engineer does
Gas engineers install, repair and service boilers, gas hobs, cookers and fires, and issue the gas safety record a landlord needs each year. By law anyone working on gas in the UK must be on the Gas Safe Register, so before anyone in Cradley Heath touches your boiler, ask to see their Gas Safe ID card and check the number on the register.

Frequently asked questions
My boiler has stopped and there is no heating or hot water. What should I check first?
Check the boiler has power and the pressure gauge reads roughly 1 to 1.5 bar when cold, and that the thermostat and timer are calling for heat. In freezing weather a blocked condensate pipe (the plastic pipe running outside) is a common cause; the manufacturer guide explains how to thaw it. If you smell gas, leave the property and call 0800 111 999.
How do I check someone is Gas Safe registered?
Ask to see their Gas Safe ID card, which shows a licence number and the types of work they are qualified for, and check the number on the Gas Safe Register website. A business being registered is not the same as the individual engineer being qualified for boilers.
My boiler is showing an error code. Is it an emergency?
If you can smell gas, leave the property, do not use light switches, and call the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999. An error code with no smell is usually a fault rather than a danger, and the boiler will normally have shut itself down safely. Note the code before you request a quote.
How often should a boiler be serviced?
Manufacturers ask for an annual service to keep the warranty valid, and landlords must have a gas safety check every 12 months. A service checks the burner, flue and safety devices; it is not the same as a landlord safety record, so ask which you are getting.
How do I get a quote from gas engineers in Cradley Heath?
Pick a listing on this page and send a quote request saying what needs doing and when suits you. The business comes back to you with a price and a time. It is free to ask, and no payment is taken online.
Are the gas engineers on this page vetted?
Not yet. Listings marked Claimed have been claimed by the business and are kept up to date by them; the rest come from public records such as Companies House and Google and are marked as not yet claimed. Every listing shows its real Google rating and review count where one exists. We do not check registers or insurance yet, so ask for a Gas Safe or NICEIC/NAPIT number and check it yourself.
What should I check before I hire a gas engineer?
Ask for a written quote and what it includes, who will do the work, whether they are insured, and any registration the trade needs, such as Gas Safe for gas work or a Part P scheme for electrics. Never pay the full amount up front.
Is the water hard in Cradley Heath?
Most homes in the B64 postcode district are supplied by South Staffs Water, and hardness in the main supply zone is 205 mg/l (hard), from 2025 to 2026 supply zone data. It varies by street, so check your postcode with your water company.
Who do I call if I smell gas in Cradley Heath?
Call the national gas emergency number, 0800 111 999, free at any time. Cadent runs the gas network in the West Midlands and will send an engineer to make it safe. Then book a Gas Safe registered engineer for any repair.
