Boiler Repair & Servicing in Rochester
Rochester is one of the oldest cities in England, and its homes reflect that heritage. The streets around Rochester Cathedral and the High Street are lined with period properties -- Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas, and Edwardian terraces -- many of which present unique challenges when it comes to heating.
Why Choose Advance Medway for Boiler Repair in Rochester
Our engineers have worked on heating systems in Rochester properties of every age and type. We understand the specific challenges that period homes in the ME1 area present — from pipework routed through thick walls to boilers installed in awkward cupboards that were never designed for modern condensing units. This local experience means faster diagnosis, fewer surprises, and repairs that are done right the first time.
Advance Medway has been serving the Medway area for over 15 years, and Rochester is one of our core service areas. All our engineers are Gas Safe registered and carry identification, so you can verify their credentials before letting them into your home. We stock common replacement parts for all major boiler brands, and we provide a clear, written quote before starting any repair. There are no hidden charges. If we diagnose a fault and believe replacement would be more cost-effective than repair, we will tell you honestly rather than pushing unnecessary work.
We also offer emergency boiler repairs for Rochester residents who have lost heating or hot water, or who suspect a gas-related safety issue. Call us on 01634 979 595 and we will prioritise your booking.
Common Boiler Problems We Fix
Rochester homeowners call us for a wide range of boiler faults, including:
- No heating or hot water — failed diverter valves, motorised valve faults, or thermostat issues
- Boiler losing pressure — leaks in the sealed system, expansion vessel failure, or a faulty filling loop
- Error codes and lockouts — ignition failures, flame detection faults, or PCB board problems
- Unusual noises — kettling from limescale in the heat exchanger, gurgling from trapped air, or banging from a failing pump
- Water leaks from the boiler — degraded seals, cracked heat exchangers, or corroded internal components
- Intermittent breakdowns — faults that come and go, often linked to wiring issues or failing sensors
We work on all brands: Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Baxi, Ideal, Potterton, Glow Worm, and more.
Boiler Servicing for Rochester Homes
Boiler servicing is not just a box-ticking exercise. For Rochester homes — particularly the older properties in the conservation area where heating systems have often been adapted multiple times over the decades — a thorough annual service can reveal problems that are invisible until something fails.
Our service visit covers a complete inspection of the boiler internals, including the burner, heat exchanger, fan, and all electrical connections. We perform a flue gas analysis to check that combustion is clean and efficient, test the gas rate to make sure the boiler is receiving the correct supply, and inspect all seals and safety devices. We also check system pressure, look for signs of corrosion or leaks, and ensure the condensate drain is clear.
Rochester has a significant rental market, particularly in the converted period properties near the city centre and along the A2 corridor. Landlords with properties in the ME1 area have a legal obligation to arrange an annual gas safety check, and a boiler service is the ideal time to carry this out. We work with a number of Rochester landlords and letting agents, offering scheduled servicing visits that minimise disruption to tenants.
Keeping your boiler serviced annually also protects your manufacturer warranty. Most boiler manufacturers require proof of annual servicing by a Gas Safe registered engineer as a condition of their warranty terms.
