Boiler repair in Lewisham
- Blocks on communal heating, where the fault is often outside the flat that reports it
- Former council homes still on their original pipes, with few places to isolate
- Ageing systems in Hither Green and Ladywell terraces now on a second or third boiler
Lewisham’s ex-council flats raise a particular boiler question. Many leaseholders bought theirs with whatever heating the council fitted decades ago, which can be a back boiler behind a gas fire, a warm-air heater in a hall cupboard blowing through ducts, or a combi added more recently. Each needs a different repair, and the older two can run into parts that are no longer made. Leaseholders own that equipment; tenants report faults to the council or housing association instead. In the Victorian and Edwardian terraces towards Ladywell, Hither Green and Catford, the stock is mostly combis in houses and flats, often on pipework that has outlived two boilers. The new towers in the town centre are on managed systems where building staff arrange access. Estate car parks are often residents-only, so tell us where a van can stop.

Questions we often get
Do you work in Lewisham?
We do. Lewisham falls within Lewisham, covering the SE13, SE4, SE6 postcodes, and our engineers are out across Greater London from our Fulham office every day.
A few flats in our block have lost their heating. Does each of us need to book an engineer?
No. That way you pay several callout charges for a single fault. When the whole block is hit, the communal plant is at fault and the freeholder or managing agent must instruct the repair, so report it together. If only your flat turns out to be affected, the fault is yours.
I have warm-air heating in my flat. Can you still repair it?
Often, yes. A gas warm-air unit is a gas appliance like a boiler, and common faults such as a failed fan, thermostat or ignition part can usually be put right. They still turn up in Lewisham’s older council-built flats. The difficulty is age: some models are long out of production and parts can be scarce. If yours cannot be repaired, we explain the options, which may include a combi and radiators, before you commit to anything.
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.
