Brixton’s housing and what it means for your heating
Converted Victorian houses. Most of the streets between Brixton Hill, Tulse Hill and Railton Road are Victorian terraces split into flats. Each flat has its own combi in a tight kitchen cupboard, the flue often runs past a neighbour’s window, and the gas supply from the meter was sized for a cooker, not a 30 kW boiler. Flue clearances and gas pipe sizing are the two things a survey has to get right here, and the two things a cheap install gets wrong.
Estates and mansion blocks. Around Brixton Road, Stockwell Park and Tulse Hill the blocks have system boilers, pressurised cylinders and, in some cases, communal heating. The common faults are pressure loss, failed expansion vessels and cylinders that have never had a G3 service.
Flats above the shops. Acre Lane, Coldharbour Lane and Brixton Road have hundreds of rented flats above commercial units. Landlords need a CP12 every year, on time, with a copy they can send the agent the same day. That is most of our servicing work in SW2 and SW9.
All of Brixton is on hard water. A scale reducer at installation and proper inhibitor dosing at every service keep a 12-year warranty valid.

Questions people in Brixton ask
How quickly can you get to Brixton?
Our office is in SW2. Weekday appointments, 8am to 5pm; book online to see the next free slots, or ring and we will tell you honestly what we can do that day.
Do you do landlord gas safety certificates in SW2 and SW9?
Yes, with a digital copy the same day for you and your agent, and we can service the boiler in the same visit. We look after several managing agents’ portfolios in Brixton.
My flat’s boiler keeps losing pressure. Is that serious?
Usually a small leak or a tired expansion vessel, and both are fixable in a diagnostic visit. Left alone it becomes a breakdown in January.
Is there a call-out charge?
There is a diagnostic fee for repair visits, charged as its own job; it is payable once the investigation has been completed and is not deducted from any later repair. Quoted work has no call-out fee.
