Boiler repair in Brixton
- Shared and communal heating set-ups on estates and in conversions
- Working out which parts are yours to fix and which belong to the building
- Converted-terrace boilers supplying more than their sizing allowed for
In Brixton, who owns the boiler matters as much as what is wrong with it. On the estates, a tenant’s boiler is normally the landlord’s to repair, whether that is the council or a housing association, so their repairs line is the first call. A leaseholder in the same block usually owns the boiler inside the flat and arranges repairs privately, even though next door is maintained by the landlord. Some estates have no individual boilers at all and run on a shared heating network. In the converted Victorian terraces, each flat typically has its own combi, often in a kitchen cupboard, with a flue out of the back wall or up through the roof. Flats above shops on the main roads are often reached by a rear staircase or a side door, so tell us how to get in. Parking near the market is limited, and a side street is often quicker.

Questions we often get
Do you work in Brixton?
We do. Brixton falls within Lambeth, covering the SW2, SW9 postcodes, and our engineers are out across Greater London from our Fulham office every day.
Whose job is it to fix the heating in my block?
That comes down to how your building is arranged. A boiler of your own is your responsibility, while communal plant sits with the freeholder. Finding out which applies is normally the first useful step we take, and it can stop you paying for repairs that were never yours.
I bought my estate flat. Why won’t the council fix my boiler any more?
Once you own the lease, the boiler inside the flat is usually your responsibility, while the freeholder keeps the structure, the communal pipework and any shared plant. Your lease sets out the split and is worth reading. It catches out plenty of new owners after a right-to-buy purchase in Brixton. We repair the boiler itself, and if the fault turns out to be on the shared side, we write down what we found so you can report it.
How much will it cost?
Before an engineer starts, you are given a price for the job. Should something hidden in a wall change what is needed, we stop and discuss it with you first, instead of pressing on and sending the bill later.
