Plumbing & Heating Engineers
Serving Greenwich Since 1963
R G Austin Ltd has been covering Greenwich (SE10) for over 60 years. Based in Blackheath (SE3) — approximately 15–25 minutes from Greenwich — our Gas Safe registered engineers provide boiler installations, central heating repairs, emergency plumbing, bathroom renovations, underfloor heating, and property maintenance throughout the area.
Greenwich presents a uniquely varied working environment. The period properties around Greenwich town centre — Georgian and Victorian terraces on Crooms Hill, Gloucester Circus, and the Royal Hill conservation area — require careful flue positioning, sympathetic pipework routing, and an understanding of Listed Building constraints that many contractors lack. We are experienced in working within these parameters and can advise from the outset on what is and is not achievable without planning consent.
The newer riverside developments at Greenwich Millennium Village and Peninsula Square carry different challenges: high-rise boiler placement, pressurised communal systems, and developer-specific warranty requirements. We are familiar with the configuration of these builds and carry out boiler replacements and heating repairs across the peninsula regularly. Whether your property is a Georgian townhouse on Crooms Hill or a riverside apartment on the Peninsula, our approach is the same: a fixed price, Gas Safe certification, and direct Austin family management throughout.
Every job in Greenwich is managed directly by Jonathon or Jack Austin — the third-generation directors of R G Austin Ltd. There are no call centres, no subcontracted mechanical work, and no variation to the fixed price on your written estimate. Gas Safe certification is issued the same day as completion on all gas work.

Common Plumbing & Heating Issues in Greenwich SE10
Sixty years of working in Greenwich means we know exactly what to expect — and how to price it accurately from the start.
Georgian & Victorian Boiler Upgrades
Period properties around Crooms Hill and the Royal Hill conservation area frequently have gravity-fed cylinder systems, oversized radiators, and routing constraints that prevent straightforward combi boiler installation. We design around these constraints and include all associated pipework reconfiguration in our fixed price.
High-Rise Boiler Replacements on the Peninsula
Greenwich Peninsula apartments require boilers with specific pressure ratings and flue configurations suited to high-rise installations. We carry out replacements in these buildings regularly and are familiar with the access and commissioning requirements involved.
Emergency Plumbing in Period Conversions
Many Georgian and Victorian properties in central Greenwich have been converted to flats, creating complex shared drainage arrangements. Our diagnostic approach identifies the root cause of leaks and blockages without unnecessary disruption to neighbouring properties.
