Boiler service in Bromley

Boiler service in Bromley

• Larger houses where an inefficient boiler costs meaningfully more over a winter
• Systems extended into conversions and extensions without being resized
• Older units where the service is really a decision point about replacement

Many larger Bromley houses still run a regular boiler with a cylinder and a feed and expansion tank in the loft. On that kind of system it is worth looking beyond the boiler casing: the loft tank should have a lid and no debris floating in it, and the pipes up there need lagging, because a frozen feed pipe stops the whole system. Some older houses still have an open-flued boiler, or a back boiler behind a gas fire, drawing its air from the room. Those need a flue spillage test and a look at the ventilation, and a room that has since had new windows fitted or its air bricks covered can turn a safe appliance into an unsafe one. Detached houses sometimes have the boiler in a utility room or outbuilding some distance from the cylinder. Parking is rarely a problem here, and the time on the visit tends to go on the loft and the flue rather than the drive.
