Boiler Services in Redbridge
Last winter I got called to a house in Ilford. The lady had been told by another company she needed a whole new boiler. £3,200 they quoted her. She wasn't sure so she called us for a second opinion.
Turned out it was a faulty PCB. £280 part, fitted in under an hour. Boiler's been running perfect ever since.
That's the thing with boilers. You need someone who actually knows what they're looking at. Not someone who just wants to sell you a new one.

If your boiler's playing up or you need a new one, call us on 07387 987157 or 07395 057210. Honest advice, fair prices.

When your boiler breaks down, you need someone who can diagnose the problem fast and fix it right. Not guess. Not replace parts until something works. Actually diagnose it.
We carry common parts on the van so most repairs get done same day. Here's what we see most often:
- No hot water or heating — Could be the diverter valve, the pump, the thermostat, or a dozen other things. We test methodically until we find the actual cause.
- Boiler locking out — Error codes on the display. Each code means something specific. We know what they mean for every major brand.
- Leaking boiler — Water dripping from the boiler is never good. Could be the pressure relief valve, a failed seal, or a cracked heat exchanger. We find it and fix it.
- Low boiler pressure — Keeps dropping below 1 bar? There's a leak somewhere. Could be tiny. We pressure test the system to find it.
- Strange noises — Banging, kettling, gurgling. Each noise tells us something different about what's gone wrong inside.
- Pilot light won't stay on — Thermocouple on older boilers. Flame sensor on newer ones. Ignition leads, electrodes. We carry them all.
New Boiler Installation Redbridge
Sometimes a repair isn't worth it. If your boiler's old, inefficient, and keeps breaking down, a new one makes more financial sense.
We install all major brands. Worcester, Vaillant, Baxi, Ideal, Viessmann. We don't push one brand over another. We recommend what's right for your house, your hot water usage, and your budget.
- Combi boilers — Most popular in Redbridge. Hot water on demand, no cylinder needed. Perfect for flats and smaller houses.
- System boilers — For bigger houses with multiple bathrooms. Works with a hot water cylinder so you get strong flow to several taps at once.
- Regular boilers — Replacement for older gravity-fed systems. We can upgrade your whole system or fit like-for-like.
- Back boiler replacements — Still got a back boiler behind your fireplace? We remove them and fit a modern boiler. Saves you a fortune on gas bills.
Boiler Servicing Redbridge
Annual boiler service. It's not optional if you want your boiler to last and your warranty to stay valid. Most manufacturers require an annual service or the warranty is void.
We do proper services. Not a quick visual check and a signature. A proper strip-down, test, and report.
- Strip and inspect the burner and heat exchanger
- Test gas pressure at the meter and at the boiler
- Check flue integrity and emissions with a flue gas analyser
- Test all safety devices — overheat stat, pressure relief, flame supervision
- Check expansion vessel pressure and top up if needed
- Inspect condensate trap and drain
- Test controls, thermostat, programmer, and zone valves
- Check for leaks, corrosion, and signs of wear
- Run a full operating cycle and check temperatures
- Issue a Gas Safe service record
Boiler Replacement Redbridge
If your boiler is over 12-15 years old, it's probably running at 60-70% efficiency. A new boiler runs at 90%+. That's a real difference on your gas bill.
We handle the whole job. Remove old boiler, fit new one, upgrade pipework if needed, flush the system, commission and register the warranty.
- Same-day removal and installation on most jobs
- All pipework modifications included
- System flush before connecting new boiler
- Full commissioning and benchmark checklist
- Warranty registration with manufacturer
- We take the old boiler away — you don't have to deal with it
Combi Boiler Specialists Redbridge
Combi boilers are the most common type in Redbridge. They heat water directly from the mains when you turn a tap on. No hot water cylinder, no cold water tank in the loft.
But they have their own specific problems:
- Diverter valve failure — Hot water but no heating, or heating but no hot water. The diverter valve switches between the two. When it sticks, one stops working.
- Flow sensor issues — Boiler doesn't fire up when you turn the hot tap on. Flow sensor tells the boiler water is moving. When it fails, nothing happens.
- Plate heat exchanger blocked — Hot water not as hot as it used to be, or takes ages to come through. Scale buildup inside the heat exchanger.
- Pressure loss — Combis are sealed systems. If pressure keeps dropping, there's a leak. We find it.
