Professional Boiler Repairs in Kent
When your boiler breaks down, you need someone who can diagnose the problem quickly and fix it right. That’s where I come in.
I’m George Lane, owner of Thames Boilers, and I’ve been repairing boilers across Kent for over 20 years. I’ve seen it all – from simple thermostat issues to complex PCB failures – and I know how to get your heating back on fast.
What I Can Fix
- No heating or hot water – The most common call I get. Often it’s something straightforward like a faulty pump or diverter valve.
- Boiler losing pressure – Usually caused by a leak in the system or a faulty pressure relief valve.
- Strange noises – Kettling, banging, or gurgling often indicates limescale buildup or trapped air.
- Error codes – I’m familiar with all major brands including Worcester, Vaillant, Baxi, and Ideal.
- Pilot light issues – Whether it’s a faulty thermocouple or ignition problem, I’ll sort it.
- Leaking boiler – From valve seals to heat exchanger issues.
