Boiler repair in Kensington
- In listed buildings the repair is simple, but any work near the flue has to be cleared first
- Boilers squeezed into voids and cupboards with no thought for servicing access
- Mansion blocks where the boiler works fine but the communal supply to it does not
In Kensington’s deep basement conversions the boiler often lives in a plant room below the level of the drains, so its condensate has to be pumped up and away. When that small pump fails or clogs, the boiler locks out, and it looks like a boiler fault when it is not. Those plant rooms frequently hold a system boiler, sometimes two, with a large unvented cylinder serving several bathrooms. Stucco houses divided into lateral flats more commonly have a combi per flat, fitted in a hall cupboard or a ceiling void. Mansion blocks vary: some still take heating and hot water from central plant, while others have had individual boilers added flat by flat, each with its own flue arrangement. Many blocks have a porter who controls access and working hours, so let them know we are coming. Parking is residents’ bays and short-stay meters, and we plan the visit around that.

Questions we often get
Do you work in Kensington?
We do. Kensington falls within Kensington and Chelsea, covering the W8, W11, SW7 postcodes, and our engineers are out across Greater London from our Fulham office every day.
Can you still repair my boiler if the building is listed?
Yes. Listing makes no difference to repairing or replacing internal parts. It applies to work that alters the building, such as a new flue route, a new terminal outside, or core drilling a protected elevation. We will flag it when it becomes relevant, not after the work is done.
Our block only lets contractors work certain hours. Will that slow the repair?
It can, which is why we ask about building rules when you book. Many Kensington mansion blocks limit noisy work and deliveries to set times, and some want insurance details before a contractor is let in. We are fully insured and can send the paperwork ahead. If a part has to be ordered, we book the return visit inside the permitted hours, so the building is not disturbed and nobody has to bend the rules.
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.
