Boiler service in Lewisham
- In flats, the occupier owns the boiler and the building owns the communal system behind it
- Ex-council property still on its first pipework and short of isolation valves
- Terraced houses towards Hither Green and Ladywell on old individual systems
Lewisham has a lot of ex-local-authority flats now owned by leaseholders, and that changes who books the service. Council or housing association tenants in the same block usually have their boiler checked by the landlord’s contractor, but a leaseholder’s boiler is their own, and nobody else is going to arrange it. Many of those boilers flue straight out onto a shared walkway or balcony, so the terminal guard and the distance to doors and windows are part of the check. Getting in can mean an entry phone, a locked stairwell and a lift that may or may not be working, and estate parking is often by permit only. In the Victorian terraces towards Ladywell and Hither Green, the boiler is normally found in the back addition, with its flue coming out into the narrow gap between the kitchen and next door’s wall, often close to their window, which is exactly where clearances get tested.

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.
Is there anything in my flat to service if the block has communal heating?
Normally there is, though it is not a boiler service. Inside your flat you will have controls and valves, and frequently a heat interface unit, all of which are yours. Past them is communal plant owned by the building. Before we do anything, we will explain which side of that line each part is on.
I bought my ex-council flat. Does the council still service my boiler?
Usually not. Once you own the flat on a lease, the boiler inside it is normally yours to maintain, even if the council still services boilers for tenants elsewhere in the block. Check your lease to be sure, as a few are worded differently. If it has been years since anyone looked at it because you assumed someone else was doing it, book a service before the heating goes on.
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.
