Boiler service in Greenwich

For a boiler service in Greenwich, book a Gas Safe registered engineer once a year and check what heats your home first. Period houses near Greenwich Park and Blackheath usually have system or combi boilers. Many Greenwich Peninsula flats are on a communal heat network with no gas boiler, and other newer flats may have flues hidden in ceiling voids.

Homes in Greenwich

Greenwich has Georgian and Victorian houses around Greenwich Park, Crooms Hill and the streets towards Blackheath, many listed or in conservation areas. Charlton and East Greenwich have Victorian terraces and interwar houses, and there are large former council estates. Greenwich Peninsula and the riverside have been rebuilt with towers of new flats. The area is in the Royal Borough of Greenwich and supplied by Thames Water.

Period houses and listed buildings

Older houses around Greenwich Park and Blackheath often have larger heating systems, a hot water cylinder and sometimes a regular boiler with tanks in the loft. Flue routes can be awkward in listed and conservation area houses, where outside changes need consent, so boilers are sometimes in basements or rear rooms with longer flues.

A service checks the visible flue length and the terminal outside. If part of the flue is boxed in, the engineer needs to be able to inspect it. On system boilers with unvented cylinders, the safety valves and expansion vessel are checked too. See our system and regular boiler service.

Baxi boilers are common on newer installs. Baxi's 800 range warranty depends on the supplied magnetic filter being maintained as well as an annual service, so keep a record of each filter clean.

Peninsula and riverside flats

Much of Greenwich Peninsula is served by a communal heat network. Homes on it have a heat interface unit rather than a gas boiler. That is not gas work and is serviced through the heat supplier or building management, so check your lease before booking a gas engineer.

Other newer riverside blocks have individual gas combis. Many built since 2000 have flues running through ceiling voids. The Gas Safe Register flues in voids guidance explains why inspection hatches are needed. Without them, the engineer will treat the boiler as at risk.

Landlords with Greenwich lets need the yearly gas safety record on every gas appliance and flue they provide, with copies to tenants within 28 days.

Booking in SE10, SE3 and SE7

Tell us whether you have a boiler, a cylinder or a heat interface unit, and where the gas meter is. In period houses the meter can be in a front vault or basement. In flats it may be in a shared cupboard on the landing.

Greenwich town centre has busy roads and controlled parking. A note about permits, a driveway or a nearby bay helps the engineer keep to time. As across London, a spring or summer service is easier to book than one in October.

If you have a gas fire in a period house, a landlord gas safety check covers it as well as the boiler, and the chimney or flue it uses must be checked too.
