One fee, not two
No call-out charge, no separate diagnostic fee. The £85 covers investigation, diagnosis where possible, and the first hour of labour.
Tested before we leave
If a part needs ordering we'll say so; where we can finish on the day, the system is tested working before we leave.

Why Bromley homes break down
Bromley is the largest borough we cover, and its housing fails in four distinct ways from Penge out to Orpington.
Victorian & Edwardian railway-suburb conversions
The London end is conversion-heavy — one building, several flats, several boilers and flues. The faults that bring us out are altered shared-flue routing, condensate runs squeezed through a converted layout, and pressure problems where one flat's combi knocks on to the next. Flue access and ventilation get checked first in these older buildings.
Interwar semis
Solid semis on original-layout heating, patched piecemeal over the decades. No-heat calls here are usually pressure loss or sludge stalling the radiators. The Orpington and BR5/BR6 end is further from base, so we give a straight attendance window rather than a same-hour promise.
Large detached, system boiler & cylinder
These run a system boiler with a hot-water cylinder rather than a combi — more parts, so more to fail: a motorised zone valve sticking, a tired pump, a cylinder thermostat, or the wiring centre. We diagnose the whole system, because the fault is often outside the boiler itself.
Post-war & new-build infill
Council-built stock around St Paul's Cray and pockets of newer infill, on modern condensing boilers. As the newest stock, breakdowns here tend to be installation-related or a single sensor throwing a fault code — usually a quick, parts-on-the-van fix.
Repairs we've done for customers in Bromley
"Boiler kept losing pressure so I gave up and called them. Leaking valve apparently. He didn't have the part on the van but nipped out, got it, and was back to finish the same afternoon. Price was the price, no surprises on the invoice which makes a change."
"Brilliant from start to finish. The engineer (Marek I think) was so polite and explained everything as he went. 👏"
"I manage rental flats across Bromley and Lewisham and the annual landlord gas certificates used to be a yearly scramble. Switched over and honestly it's effortless now. They chase the renewal, deal with the tenants, certificates land same day. Wish I'd done it sooner."
Boiler repair questions in Bromley
My detached Chislehurst house has lost heating but the boiler seems fine — what now?
On the system-boiler-and-cylinder setups common in Chislehurst and Bickley, "no heat with a healthy-looking boiler" usually points outside the boiler itself — a stuck motorised zone valve, a failed pump, or a cylinder or wiring-centre fault. We test the whole system rather than condemning the boiler, because the fix is often a single component away from the appliance.
Do you carry parts for the bigger system boilers, or just combis?
Both. The common failure parts for combis ride on the van, and for the system boilers and controls in the detached stock — zone valves, pumps, thermostats — we carry the usual culprits too. Anything obsolete or manufacturer-only we order against a written estimate you approve first, so there's no open-ended bill.
