Boiler Repair & Servicing in Strood

Why Choose Advance Medway for Boiler Repair in Strood

We have been repairing boilers in Strood and the surrounding ME2 area for over 15 years. That experience means we arrive at your property with a strong understanding of the heating systems typically found in Strood homes — from the older gravity-fed setups still running in some Victorian properties to the modern combi boilers installed in the newer builds near the riverside.

Every engineer on our team is Gas Safe registered, and we carry a comprehensive range of spare parts in our service vehicles. This allows us to complete most repairs on the first visit without the delay of ordering components. Before we begin any work, you receive a clear, fixed-price quote. We do not charge a call-out fee during standard working hours, and there are no surprise costs added to your bill.

Strood's position at the western edge of Medway means some national heating firms treat it as the last stop on their coverage map. For us, Strood is part of our core territory. Our response times to Strood addresses are among the fastest we offer, and we have availability for same-day repairs on most working days. For emergencies outside normal hours, call 01634 979 595 and we will do everything we can to attend promptly.

Common Boiler Problems We Fix

The most frequent boiler repair calls we receive from Strood residents include:

• Boiler losing pressure repeatedly — a common issue in older Strood properties where pipework joints have degraded over time
• No heating or hot water — caused by failed diverter valves, zone valve faults, or thermostat wiring issues
• Boiler locking out with an error code — ignition failure, gas valve problems, or overheating protection activating
• Noisy operation — kettling from limescale, gurgling from air in the system, or a pump on its way out
• Water dripping from the boiler — worn internal seals, a leaking heat exchanger, or a discharging pressure relief valve
• Intermittent faults — problems that appear and disappear, often caused by loose connections or failing electronic components

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

Boiler Servicing for Strood Homes

Regular servicing matters for every boiler, but it matters especially in areas like Strood where much of the housing stock dates back a century or more. Older properties often have heating systems that have been extended, adapted, and patched over the years, and these systems need professional attention to stay safe and efficient.

An Advance Medway boiler service covers every aspect of your appliance. We inspect the burner assembly and heat exchanger for signs of wear, carry out a flue gas analysis to check combustion efficiency, test gas pressure and flow rate at the meter and the boiler, and examine all seals, gaskets, and internal connections. We also test every safety device, check your system pressure, inspect the condensate drain, and look for any early signs of corrosion or leaks that could cause problems down the line.

For Strood landlords managing rental properties in the ME2 postcode, an annual gas safety check is a legal requirement. Our boiler service includes all the checks needed for your CP12 gas safety record. We can also arrange a regular servicing schedule for your portfolio, with reminders sent ahead of each renewal date so you stay compliant without having to keep track yourself.

Servicing also protects your boiler warranty. Almost all manufacturers require an annual service by a Gas Safe registered engineer as a condition of their warranty cover. Skipping even one year could void your protection entirely.
