Boiler Repairs for Greenhithe Properties
Common Heating Issues in Greenhithe
The diverse housing stock in Greenhithe means we encounter a wide range of heating issues. In the older Victorian and Edwardian properties, we frequently find outdated heating systems struggling to cope with modern demands. These homes often have traditional radiator systems that were designed decades ago, and many still operate with old conventional boilers in need of replacement. Poor insulation in period properties means heating systems work harder, and we often recommend upgrading to more efficient condensing boilers alongside improved controls. In contrast, the newer developments like Ingress Park present different challenges. While the heating systems are modern, we've seen issues with pressurised systems losing pressure, often due to installation issues or minor leaks that need professional attention. The riverside location brings its own complications - properties near the Thames can experience higher humidity levels, which occasionally affects flue terminals and condensate pipes. We've also noticed that combination boilers in smaller flats sometimes struggle when multiple hot water outlets are used simultaneously, and we can advise on whether a system upgrade might improve performance. Frozen condensate pipes during harsh winters affect both old and new properties, and we offer preventative lagging services to avoid this common problem.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about boiler repairs in Greenhithe
How quickly can you attend a boiler breakdown?
We offer same-day emergency appointments for urgent boiler repairs, subject to availability. When you call us, we'll do our best to get an engineer to you as quickly as possible. For non-emergency repairs, we typically have appointments available within 24-48 hours. You'll receive a text when your engineer is on the way, plus a tracking link so you know exactly when to expect us.
Do you charge a call-out fee?
Our initial diagnostic visit costs £120 for up to 1 hour of an engineer's time. This covers travelling to your property, diagnosing the fault, and providing you with a quote for the repair work. If you decide to proceed with the repair, this diagnostic fee is included in the overall cost.
What if my boiler is beyond repair?
If we find that your boiler is uneconomical to repair - perhaps due to the age of the unit, obsolete parts, or the extent of the damage - we'll be honest with you. We'll explain your options, which may include a replacement boiler. We can provide a free, no-obligation quote for a new boiler installation and help you understand which modern, energy-efficient models would suit your home and budget.
Are your engineers Gas Safe registered?
Absolutely. All our engineers are fully Gas Safe registered (registration number 515374), which is a legal requirement for anyone working on gas appliances in the UK. We can provide evidence of our Gas Safe registration, and our engineers carry their Gas Safe ID cards at all times. Any work we carry out complies with current gas safety regulations.
Do you repair all boiler brands?
Yes, we have experience repairing all major boiler brands including Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Ideal, Baxi, Glow-worm, Potterton, Viessmann, and many others. Our engineers undergo regular training and have access to technical support, diagnostic tools, and genuine parts for all common makes and models.
What's covered by your 12-month parts guarantee?
Our 12-month parts guarantee covers any parts we supply and fit during your boiler repair. If a part we've installed fails within 12 months due to a manufacturing defect, we'll replace it free of charge. This guarantee gives you peace of mind that the repair work will last. Labour to fit the replacement part is also covered during the guarantee period.
