Boiler repair in Clapham
- Boilers in house shares working much harder than they would for one family
- Showers running one after another every morning and evening
- Services for landlords and checks between tenancies
Most boiler repairs in Clapham happen in rented homes, and that shapes the visit as much as the boiler does. In a converted flat the unit is normally a combi; in a larger shared house, a landlord may have fitted a system boiler with a cylinder to cope with several showers. On a combi, heavy daily use wears the diverter valve and scales up the plate heat exchanger on the hot water side, because London water is hard. With a cylinder, tenants often fall back on the immersion heater, and that can hide a boiler fault for weeks until the electricity bill arrives. Practically, we need to know who is authorising the repair: the tenant who rang, the landlord, or a letting agent. Agree that before the visit and say who will be at home, so the engineer is not left on the doorstep. Parking on the residential streets is mostly permit-only.

Questions we often get
Do you work in Clapham?
We do. Clapham falls within Lambeth, covering the SW4, SW11, SW9 postcodes, and our engineers are out across Greater London from our Fulham office every day.
How regularly does a shared-house boiler need servicing?
Once a year at least, as with any boiler, and there is more reason to keep to it here because the system works so much harder. Most manufacturers’ warranties insist on it too, and a missed service is one of the usual grounds for turning a claim down.
I rent my flat and the boiler has broken. Can I book the repair myself?
You can, but speak to your landlord or letting agent first. The boiler is their responsibility, and they may already use someone or have a cover plan in place. If they ask us to go ahead, we take the details from you, agree the price with them, and send the paperwork to whoever is paying. In Clapham that three-way arrangement is common, and it goes smoothly when everyone knows who is doing what.
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.
