Boiler installation in Balham

Boiler installation in Balham

• Conversions where the boiler cupboard was sized by whoever did the conversion
• Flats where servicing access was not considered when the space was built
• Systems serving more outlets than the original installation allowed for

Balham’s upper and lower flats each tend to have their own boiler. The upper flat’s is often in the loft or on the top landing, while the lower flat’s usually sits in the back-addition kitchen. When both flues come out at the back, one can end up blowing steam across the other’s window, so terminal positions are best thought about as a pair. The loft may not be part of the upper flat’s lease at all, so check that before planning a boiler up there. Delivery to the upper flat means the shared front door and stairs, so the neighbour below should know the date. Where the two flats are replacing boilers around the same time, one visit to look at both positions can save each owner a problem later. Balham’s streets are largely permit parking, so a visitor permit helps. Your Gas Safe installer notifies building control, and a certificate reaches you afterwards.
