Boiler repair in Ealing
- Boilers expected to supply more bathrooms than their sizing allowed
- Complaints about flow and pressure caused by the system, not the boiler itself
- Top floors of large houses that the heating never fully warms
Ealing’s larger Edwardian and interwar houses were mostly built around a regular boiler, a loft tank and a cylinder, and many have since been changed piecemeal: a combi in one house, a system boiler with an unvented cylinder in the next, sometimes a second boiler added for a loft floor. Knowing which you have narrows the fault quickly, so a photo of the boiler and of whatever is in the airing cupboard helps before the visit. Ealing’s purpose-built blocks, many dating from the 1930s, are a different job. Flats there usually have a small combi in a kitchen or hall cupboard, and its flue may exit into a light well or onto a rear wall shared with neighbours. Swapping a part is simple; changing the flue can need the freeholder’s agreement first. Houses often have a driveway, while the blocks mean a lift or stairs and tighter parking, which affects how long a visit takes.

Questions we often get
Do you work in Ealing?
We do. Ealing falls within Ealing, covering the W5, W13, W3, UB1 postcodes, and our engineers are out across Greater London from our Fulham office every day.
Why does my shower run cold when someone turns on a tap? Is the boiler faulty?
Unlikely. It is the textbook symptom of a combi trying to feed two outlets together. The issue is size, not a fault, so fitting another boiler of the same output will not help.
My flat’s boiler flue opens into a light well shared with other flats. Is that allowed?
It can be, if the terminal keeps the required distances from windows, vents and surrounding walls, and the space is open enough for fumes to clear. Some installations in Ealing’s purpose-built blocks were fitted under older rules or squeezed in where space was short. On a repair visit we check the flue and terminal position. If it falls short of current standards, we explain what that means and who in the building needs to agree to any change.
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.
