Boiler Repair & Servicing in Walderslade

Why Choose Advance Medway for Boiler Repair in Walderslade

Walderslade is a residential area through and through, and the boiler repair needs here are consistent and predictable. Most homes have combi boilers installed in kitchen cupboards or utility rooms, and the faults we see follow familiar patterns — diverter valves wearing out after 8 to 10 years, pressure drops from slow leaks in sealed systems, and PCB boards failing in boilers that have been running continuously for over a decade.

Our Gas Safe registered engineers know these patterns because they work in Walderslade regularly. They arrive with the right parts, diagnose the fault quickly, and complete the repair without fuss. We provide a fixed-price quote before starting any work so you know exactly what the repair will cost. There are no call-out fees during normal hours, and same-day appointments are available for Walderslade addresses on most working days.

We have been operating across the Medway area for over 15 years, and Walderslade is one of our most-visited areas. Our familiarity with the housing stock here — the typical boiler placements, system configurations, and property layouts — means faster service and fewer return visits.

Common Boiler Problems We Fix

The most common boiler faults we attend in Walderslade include:

• Pressure dropping repeatedly — usually caused by a slow leak in the system, a faulty expansion vessel, or a sticking pressure relief valve
• No hot water but heating works — a classic sign of diverter valve failure in combi boilers
• Error codes displayed on the boiler — ignition lockouts, fan speed faults, or temperature sensor failures
• Boiler making unusual noises — kettling from limescale buildup, pump bearing failure, or air trapped in the system
• Water leaking from underneath the boiler — degraded seals, a failing heat exchanger, or corroded internal fittings
• Heating slow to warm up — circulation issues, sludge in the system, or a pump that is losing performance

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

Boiler Servicing for Walderslade Homes

The 1970s to 1990s housing that characterises Walderslade means most homes have had at least one or two boiler replacements since they were built. Even relatively modern boilers — those installed within the last 10 to 15 years — benefit significantly from an annual service that catches small problems before they escalate into breakdowns.

Our boiler service is comprehensive. We inspect the burner, heat exchanger, fan, and all electrical connections. We perform a flue gas analysis to measure combustion efficiency and check for any unsafe readings. Gas pressure and flow rates are tested at the meter and the appliance. Every seal, gasket, and safety device is inspected, and we check the condensate drain to ensure it is clear and draining properly.

Walderslade homes tend to be well-insulated compared to older Medway properties, which means boilers often run shorter, more frequent cycles. This cycling pattern can cause additional wear on certain components, making annual servicing even more important for catching early signs of fatigue.

For landlords with rental properties in the ME5 area, our service includes all the checks necessary for your CP12 gas safety record. We provide the documentation you need and can schedule annual appointments to keep you compliant.

Annual servicing also preserves your boiler manufacturer warranty. Most warranties require proof of a service by a Gas Safe registered engineer each year. Missing one could leave you unprotected.
