Boiler Repair & Servicing in Snodland

Why Choose Advance Medway for Boiler Repair in Snodland

Snodland sits at the edge of the traditional Medway Towns, and some heating firms based in Chatham or Gillingham may consider it a stretch to attend. For Advance Medway, Snodland is a natural extension of our ME postcode coverage. We attend boiler repair calls in the town regularly, and our engineers can usually offer a same-day appointment. There is no extra charge for Snodland visits, and our pricing is identical to any other Medway address.

With over 15 years of experience, our Gas Safe registered engineers have worked on heating systems in every type of Snodland property. The compact Victorian terraces near the station present different challenges to the detached homes on the newer estates, and our team is comfortable with both. We carry common parts for all major boiler brands, provide a fixed-price quote before starting any work, and do not charge a call-out fee during standard hours.

We believe in straightforward service. If a repair is the right option, we repair it. If the boiler has reached the point where ongoing repairs are costing more than a replacement would, we tell you honestly. No pressure, just clear information to help you make the right decision.

For emergencies — a boiler that has stopped entirely, no hot water, or a suspected gas safety concern — call 01634 979 595 immediately.

Common Boiler Problems We Fix

The most common boiler faults we attend in Snodland include:

• Pressure loss — frequently caused by micro-leaks in older pipework, failing expansion vessels, or dripping pressure relief valves
• No hot water — diverter valve failure is the most common cause in combi boilers, while system boilers may suffer from motorised valve or cylinder thermostat faults
• Boiler locking out — ignition failures, flame sensor faults, or the PCB board shutting down due to overheating or other safety triggers
• Banging and kettling — hard water limescale buildup in the heat exchanger is prevalent in the Medway Valley area
• Leaks from the boiler — corroded internal seals, failing heat exchangers, or deteriorating pipe connections
• Unresponsive controls — timer or programmer faults, wireless thermostat connectivity issues, or wiring problems

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

Boiler Servicing for Snodland Homes

Snodland's housing stock ranges from Victorian terraces with thick walls and limited internal space to modern estates with open-plan layouts and contemporary heating systems. Annual boiler servicing is important across this spectrum, but for different reasons.

In the older parts of Snodland, heating systems have often been adapted over the years. A modern boiler may be connected to original pipework, feeding radiators of different ages and sizes, with controls that have been added at various points. These patchwork systems are more likely to develop subtle issues — slightly restricted flow through corroded pipes, marginal gas pressure due to ageing supply infrastructure, or safety devices that are beginning to drift out of calibration. A thorough annual service catches these problems.

In the newer properties, boilers are typically more straightforward but are still subject to normal wear and tear. Components like seals, electrodes, and fan bearings degrade gradually, and servicing identifies this deterioration before it causes a failure.

Our annual service includes inspection of the burner, heat exchanger, and fan assembly; flue gas analysis for combustion efficiency; gas pressure testing at the meter and appliance; inspection of all seals, gaskets, and electrical connections; testing of all safety devices; and a check of the condensate pipe, system pressure, and radiator performance. For Snodland properties, we also check for limescale accumulation given the hard water prevalent in the Medway Valley.

Landlords with rental properties in the ME6 area must arrange annual gas safety inspections by law. Our service includes all checks required for the CP12 gas safety record, and we offer scheduled annual visits with reminders.
