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 Greenwich homes break down
Greenwich packs four housing worlds into one borough, and each breaks down in its own way — riverside conversion to new-build tower.
Victorian terraces & conversions
Heavily converted into flats, with boilers and flues threaded through shared buildings. The call-outs here are conversion problems as much as boiler ones — a flue routed through a neighbour's space, a combi short-cycling on blocked ventilation, a condensate run externally and freezing. We trace the fault through the building, not just the appliance.
Eltham & the interwar belt
Mature semis along the A20, many on long-serving systems. No-heat calls are the familiar interwar pattern — pressure loss, sludged radiators, a labouring pump. Eltham is also our quickest Greenwich corner via the A2, so same-day attendance is realistic here.
Thamesmead system-built estates
Large-panel estate blocks at the eastern edge, heating arrangements varying floor to floor. Faults combine age with communal access — we confirm a buzzer or concierge contact first, and Woolwich and Thamesmead can add fifteen minutes on the road, so we give a straight window.
Kidbrooke Village, Peninsula & Royal Arsenal new-build
Thousands of modern combis under warranty. Breakdowns on the newest stock are usually a single fault code or an installation snag still under guarantee — we diagnose it, and where it's a warranty matter we'll tell you, so you don't pay for what the installer should cover.
Boiler repair questions in Greenwich
Can you reach Woolwich or Thamesmead quickly for a breakdown?
We'll be honest about the geography: Blackheath, Kidbrooke and Eltham are our quick corners off the A2; Woolwich and Thamesmead add ten to fifteen minutes, more in traffic. For a breakdown we give a realistic attendance window rather than an optimistic one — and tell you if a closer engineer would genuinely reach you faster.
The combi in my converted Greenwich flat keeps cutting out — what's likely?
In the borough's period conversions it's usually ventilation or flue showing up as lockouts — a compartment that's been boxed in, or a flue route disturbed by other works in the building — or an externally-run condensate that freezes. We diagnose which on the visit, and where it's a shared-building flue we'll explain what needs doing and who's responsible.
