Domestic and commercial boundaries
Domestic plumbing, heating, boiler installations and residential air conditioning operate strictly within roughly 30 miles of Bedford. That boundary protects engineer schedules, keeps rapid response available for local breakdowns and stops unbillable travel eroding installation margins.
Commercial mechanical services, plant room installations and developer packages travel up to 50 miles, with flexibility for managed contracts across Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire, Northamptonshire and Central London.
Common questions
Common questions
- Do you cover my postcode for domestic plumbing and heating?
- Townsend Plumbing Ltd provides domestic heating, boiler and plumbing services across Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire, roughly a 30 mile radius of Bedford. This includes MK postcodes across Bedfordshire and Milton Keynes (MK40 to MK45 and MK1 to MK19), Mid Bedfordshire (SG15 to SG19), North Hertfordshire (SG4 to SG8) and St Neots (PE19).
- Why is the commercial area larger than the domestic area?
- Commercial projects carry higher contract values and multi week programmes, so mobilising engineers up to 50 miles is economically sustainable. Domestic work stays within 30 miles to protect response times and avoid unbillable travel.
- What if I am just outside the boundary?
- Call the office on 01234 781 202. If we already have an engineer working nearby we can often help, and we will tell you straight away if we cannot.
- Do you charge for travel?
- Within the core domestic area travel is included in the quoted price. For work near the outer boundary we will make any travel allowance clear in the quote before you accept it.
