Boiler Repair & Servicing in Cuxton

Why Choose Advance Medway for Boiler Repair in Cuxton

Village locations like Cuxton can sometimes fall between the cracks of larger heating companies' coverage maps. You might find yourself waiting days for an engineer who then has no familiarity with the types of properties or heating systems found here. As a Medway-based business, Advance Medway includes Cuxton in our standard coverage area with no extra charges or extended wait times.

Our Gas Safe registered engineers work in the ME2 postcode regularly, serving both Cuxton and the neighbouring areas of Strood, Halling, and Rochester. We carry common replacement parts for all major boiler brands, and we provide a fixed-price quote before beginning any repair. No call-out fee applies during normal working hours.

With over 15 years of experience across the Medway area, our team has worked on everything from modern combi boilers in new-build properties to older conventional systems in period cottages. Cuxton's mix of property types is well within our expertise.

For emergency situations — total loss of heating, no hot water, or a suspected gas issue — call 01634 979 595 for priority attendance.

Common Boiler Problems We Fix

The boiler faults most commonly reported by Cuxton residents include:

• Pressure dropping — often caused by slow leaks in older pipework or a faulty expansion vessel
• No hot water — diverter valve failures in combi boilers or stuck motorised valves in older system setups
• Boiler locking out with error codes — ignition failures, gas valve faults, or overheating protection
• Kettling and limescale noises — a particular issue in Cuxton due to the hard water supply from the chalk aquifer
• Water leaking from the boiler — worn seals, corroded connections, or heat exchanger deterioration
• Cold radiators — air locks, sludge buildup, or a circulation pump that has lost performance

We repair Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Baxi, Ideal, Potterton, Glow Worm, and all other domestic brands.

Boiler Servicing for Cuxton Homes

Cuxton's village setting brings a few factors that make regular boiler servicing especially worthwhile. The hard water from the local chalk geology accelerates limescale formation inside heat exchangers and pipework, gradually reducing boiler efficiency and increasing fuel consumption. An annual service allows our engineer to check for scale buildup and recommend treatment before it causes a breakdown.

Our boiler service covers a thorough inspection of all accessible components. We examine the burner, heat exchanger, and fan for wear and deposits. A flue gas analysis measures combustion efficiency and checks for any unsafe readings. We test gas pressure and flow rates, inspect all seals and gaskets, and test every safety device. The condensate drain is checked — important for Cuxton properties where exposed pipework can freeze during cold weather — and we review system pressure and radiator performance.

Several of the older properties in Cuxton have heating systems that were fitted retrospectively into buildings not originally designed for central heating. These installations sometimes involve longer pipe runs, unusual boiler positions, and radiators placed in rooms with limited wall space. Our engineers are experienced with these configurations and can identify issues that might go unnoticed during a less thorough inspection.

Landlords with rental properties in Cuxton have a legal obligation to arrange annual gas safety checks. Our service includes all the inspections needed for your CP12 gas safety certificate, and we can schedule annual renewal visits to keep you compliant.
