Boiler repair in Brixton
- Communal and shared heating arrangements in estates and conversions
- Establishing what is your responsibility and what is the building’s
- Boilers in converted terraces serving more than they were sized for
In Brixton, who owns the boiler matters as much as what is wrong with it. On the estates, a tenant’s boiler is normally the landlord’s to repair, whether that is the council or a housing association, so their repairs line is the first call. A leaseholder in the same block usually owns the boiler inside the flat and arranges repairs privately, even though next door is maintained by the landlord. Some estates have no individual boilers at all and run on a shared heating network. In the converted Victorian terraces, each flat typically has its own combi, often in a kitchen cupboard, with a flue out of the back wall or up through the roof. Flats above shops on the main roads are often reached by a rear staircase or a side door, so tell us how to get in. Parking near the market is limited, and a side street is often quicker.

Common questions
Do you cover Brixton?
We do. Brixton falls within Lambeth, covering the SW2, SW9 postcodes, and our engineers are out across Greater London from our Fulham office every day.
Who is responsible for the heating in my block?
It depends entirely on how the building is set up. Individual boilers are yours; communal plant is the freeholder’s. Working out which you are on is usually the first useful thing we do, and it can save you paying for something that is not yours.
I bought my estate flat. Why won’t the council fix my boiler any more?
Once you own the lease, the boiler inside the flat is usually your responsibility, while the freeholder keeps the structure, the communal pipework and any shared plant. Your lease sets out the split and is worth reading. It catches out plenty of new owners after a right-to-buy purchase in Brixton. We repair the boiler itself, and if the fault turns out to be on the shared side, we write down what we found so you can report it.
What does it cost?
You will have a price for the work before an engineer starts. If something behind the wall changes the scope, we pause and talk it through with you rather than carrying on and billing you afterwards.
