Boiler repair in Greenwich
- Heat interface units in Peninsula flats, which fail differently from boilers and are often mistaken for them
- Flue positions constrained by conservation-area and listed status around the town centre
- Period properties where pipework has been re-routed repeatedly and is not where drawings suggest
Between the Georgian town centre and the Peninsula towers sits a lot of ordinary Greenwich housing: Victorian and interwar terraces heading east towards Charlton, many split into flats with a combi each. Those are straightforward repairs. The period houses closer to the park are less so. Some still have an older open-flued boiler venting into a lined chimney from a basement kitchen, and any repair there includes checking that the flue draws properly, because a blocked or broken liner is a carbon monoxide risk rather than a nuisance. Where a modern boiler has taken its place, the flue has often been taken out through a rear wall or a light well to keep it off the front elevation. On the Peninsula, repairs to heat interface units are usually booked through building management, who control access to risers and meters. Town-centre parking is tight, and on the Peninsula it is worth asking where contractors should park.

Common questions
Do you cover Greenwich?
We do. Greenwich falls within Greenwich, covering the SE10, SE3, SE7 postcodes, and our engineers are out across Greater London from our Fulham office every day.
My flat on the Peninsula has no hot water but there is no boiler. What has failed?
You almost certainly have a heat interface unit taking heat from a communal network. If neighbours are affected too it is the network and building management need to know. If it is only you, the HIU itself — the plate heat exchanger or its controls — is the usual culprit and that is a repair we can do.
My Georgian house has a boiler in the basement using the old chimney. Is that still safe?
It can be, if the chimney is lined, the liner is intact and the room has the air supply the boiler needs. We check all three during a repair visit and test the flue. If the boiler is very old, parts may be hard to find, and a replacement with a sealed flue could change what is allowed outside in a conservation area. We talk that through before anything moves. A carbon monoxide alarm in that room is sensible either way.
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.
