Boiler Repair & Servicing in Chatham

Why Choose Advance Medway for Boiler Repair in Chatham

Choosing a boiler repair company is not a decision you make casually, particularly when your heating has failed and you need it fixed properly. As a Medway-based heating firm with over 15 years of experience, we have repaired and serviced boilers across every street and estate in Chatham. Our Gas Safe registered engineers carry a comprehensive stock of common replacement parts, which means most repairs are completed on the first visit without the need for a costly return call.

We understand that a boiler breakdown is more than an inconvenience — it means no hot water for your family, no heating during cold spells, and the stress of not knowing what the repair will cost. That is why we provide upfront pricing before any work begins, so you know exactly what you are paying. We offer same-day repairs wherever possible, including emergency callouts for situations where your boiler has developed a gas leak or is producing carbon monoxide warnings. Every repair we carry out is completed to manufacturer standards, ensuring your boiler warranty remains valid where applicable.

Common Boiler Problems We Fix

Our Chatham engineers diagnose and repair all common boiler faults, including:

• Low boiler pressure — the most frequent callout, often caused by a leak in the system or a faulty pressure relief valve
• No hot water or heating — caused by failed diverter valves, motorised valves, or faulty thermostats
• Boiler locking out or displaying error codes — PCB faults, flame sensor issues, or ignition failures
• Strange noises — kettling, banging, or gurgling caused by sludge buildup, air in the system, or a failing pump
• Boiler leaking water — cracked heat exchangers, failed seals, or corroded pipework
• Pilot light going out — thermocouple faults or gas supply issues on older boilers

We repair all major brands including Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Baxi, Ideal, Potterton, and Glow Worm.

Boiler Servicing for Chatham Homes

An annual boiler service is the single best thing you can do to keep your heating system running efficiently and catch small problems before they become expensive breakdowns. For Chatham properties — many of which have boilers that are 10, 15, or even 20 years old — regular servicing is particularly important.

During a service, our engineer performs a full inspection of your boiler and its controls. This includes a visual check of all components, a flue gas analysis to ensure the boiler is burning gas safely and efficiently, a check of the gas pressure and flow rate, inspection of all seals and gaskets, and testing of the safety devices. We also check your system pressure and bleed radiators if needed.

For landlords with rental properties in the ME4 area, annual boiler servicing is essential to meet your legal obligations. We can schedule regular services for your Chatham properties and provide the necessary documentation for your records. Many of the Victorian terraces and converted flats near the town centre are rented, and we work with landlords across the area to keep their properties compliant.

If your boiler is under warranty from the manufacturer, an annual service by a Gas Safe registered engineer is almost always a condition of that warranty. Missing a service can void your cover entirely, leaving you exposed to the full cost of any future repairs.
