Boiler servicing and repairs in Whitstable
An annual boiler service in Whitstable is £90, carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer: combustion and efficiency checks and a full health check of the boiler, which also keeps a manufacturer’s warranty valid. Boiler servicing and repairs
Most homes across the Canterbury district run on mains gas, and for the 13% that are off the grid we service oil boilers under our OFTEC certification and LPG boilers under our Gas Safe registration. LPG and oil boilers
If your boiler breaks down, loses pressure or shows a fault code, we find the cause and repair it, and if a repair stops making sense we will say so and quote for a new boiler from £1,850. Radiators that stay cold at the bottom usually mean sludge, which power flushing clears.
