Boiler Repair & Servicing in Lordswood

Why Choose Advance Medway for Boiler Repair in Lordswood

Lordswood's consistent housing stock is actually an advantage when it comes to boiler repairs. Because the properties are similar, our engineers have dealt with the same boiler placements, system layouts, and pipework configurations many times before. This familiarity speeds up diagnosis and means we almost always carry the right parts in our van for the most common faults.

Advance Medway has over 15 years of experience across the Medway area. Every engineer is Gas Safe registered, and we provide clear, fixed-price quotes before any work begins. We do not charge a call-out fee during normal working hours, and we keep same-day appointment slots available for Lordswood and surrounding ME5 addresses.

We take a straightforward approach to every job. If the repair is simple and cost-effective, we get it done. If the boiler is old enough or damaged enough that replacement would be the better investment, we tell you honestly. We are not in the business of pushing unnecessary repairs or upselling services you do not need.

For emergency boiler breakdowns — no heating, no hot water, or any suspected gas safety issue — call us on 01634 979 595 and we will arrange a priority visit.

Common Boiler Problems We Fix

Across Lordswood, the boiler faults we encounter most frequently include:

• Pressure loss — commonly caused by small system leaks, expansion vessel failure, or a dripping pressure relief valve
• No hot water from a combi boiler — typically a diverter valve that has seized or failed
• Boiler not igniting or locking out — spark electrode wear, gas valve problems, or PCB failures
• Banging and rumbling noises — sludge or limescale buildup causing kettling in the heat exchanger
• Water dripping from the boiler — worn seals, corroded internal fittings, or a cracked heat exchanger
• Uneven radiator heating — air locks, pump issues, or sludge blocking flow through certain radiators

We work on all brands including Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Baxi, Ideal, Potterton, and Glow Worm.

Boiler Servicing for Lordswood Homes

With most Lordswood homes now 35 to 45 years old, the boilers inside them — even the replacement units installed more recently — need consistent professional attention. An annual service is the most effective way to keep your boiler running safely, maintain its efficiency, and avoid the cost and inconvenience of an unexpected breakdown.

Our servicing procedure covers every aspect of the boiler. We inspect the burner, heat exchanger, and fan for wear and deposits. We carry out a flue gas analysis to check that combustion is clean and the boiler is operating within safe parameters. Gas pressure and flow rates are tested at both the meter and the appliance. We examine all seals, gaskets, and electrical connections for signs of deterioration, and test every safety device including the overheat thermostat and pressure relief valve. We also check system pressure, inspect the condensate drain, and look for early warning signs of corrosion.

Lordswood has a number of rental properties, particularly the smaller homes and maisonettes closer to the Lordswood Leisure Centre area. Landlords with properties in the ME5 postcode are legally required to arrange annual gas safety inspections. Our boiler service includes all the checks needed for your CP12 record, and we provide the paperwork you need to demonstrate compliance. We can set up annual reminders so the renewal never slips through the cracks.

Keeping up with annual servicing also protects your manufacturer warranty. Missing even one service can void your warranty cover entirely, leaving you exposed to the full cost of replacement parts or a new boiler.
