Boiler Repair & Servicing in Hempstead

Why Choose Advance Medway for Boiler Repair in Hempstead

We work in the Hempstead area regularly, attending repair calls and carrying out servicing for homeowners across the ME7 and ME8 postcodes. That regular presence means our engineers understand the typical heating configurations found in Hempstead homes — the standard combi setups in the 1970s and 1980s houses, the older system boilers still running in some of the earlier post-war properties, and the occasional conventional boiler with a separate hot water cylinder.

Every Advance Medway engineer is Gas Safe registered and carries identification you can verify. We stock common replacement parts in our service vehicles, allowing us to complete most repairs without a return visit. Before we start any repair work, you receive a fixed-price quote so there are no surprises on the bill. We do not charge a call-out fee during standard working hours.

Our experience across Medway spans over 15 years. Hempstead homeowners benefit from an engineering team that has seen every type of boiler fault dozens of times and can diagnose problems quickly and accurately. For emergency breakdowns, including total loss of heating or hot water and suspected gas safety concerns, call 01634 979 595 and we will prioritise your appointment.

Common Boiler Problems We Fix

The most frequent boiler repair calls we receive from Hempstead include:

• Boiler pressure dropping — a persistent issue often caused by micro-leaks in the system pipework, a failing expansion vessel, or a sticking pressure relief valve
• No heating or hot water — motorised valve failures, faulty thermostats, or diverter valve problems in combi boilers
• Error codes and lockouts — ignition sequence faults, overheating protection, or gas valve failures
• Noisy boiler operation — kettling from hard water deposits, pump cavitation, or air locks in the system
• Leaking boiler — internal seal degradation, heat exchanger corrosion, or loose connections
• Radiators not heating properly — air trapped in the system, circulation pump faults, or sludge buildup restricting flow

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

Boiler Servicing for Hempstead Homes

Hempstead's exposed hillside position means boilers in this area work harder during winter than those in more sheltered parts of Medway. That additional workload makes annual servicing especially worthwhile for Hempstead homeowners, as it keeps the boiler running at peak efficiency and catches wear before it leads to a breakdown.

Our service covers a complete inspection of the boiler interior. We check the burner assembly and heat exchanger for signs of deterioration, carry out a flue gas analysis to measure combustion efficiency, and test gas pressure at the meter and the appliance. All seals, gaskets, and electrical connections are inspected. We test every safety device, including the overheat thermostat and pressure relief valve, and check the condensate drain to make sure it has not frozen or become blocked — a genuine risk for Hempstead properties during prolonged cold spells, given the area's higher elevation.

We also check system pressure, inspect for signs of corrosion or leaks, and bleed radiators if needed. At the end of the service, you receive a clear summary of what we found and any recommendations for further work.

Landlords with rental properties in the Hempstead area are required by law to arrange an annual gas safety check. Our servicing visits include all the checks needed for your CP12 gas safety record, and we can set up scheduled annual visits so you stay compliant without having to remember the renewal date.
