What we do in Tooting
Boiler repair in Tooting — a diagnostic visit first, then a written price before any repair starts. No heating, no hot water, pressure dropping, error codes, noisy pipework: we find the cause before we sell you a part. Book a diagnostic visit.
Boiler service and landlord certificates — three levels of annual service, plus Landlord Gas Safety Certificates (CP12) for the many rented flats around Tooting Broadway and Tooting Bec, with a digital copy the same day. Book a service.
New boiler installation in Tooting — surveyed in person, one fixed written price, manufacturer warranties up to 12 years registered for you. We tell you which of combi, system or regular actually suits the house. Book a free survey.
Heating — radiators, power flushing, smart thermostats, underfloor heating in side-return extensions, heat loss calculations.
Plumbing — leaks, taps, toilets, hot water problems, cylinders, bathroom refits.
Tooting’s housing, and what it means for your heating
Tooting has three kinds of home and each brings its own heating problems.
The Edwardian terraces between Trinity Road and the Common, and across Furzedown, usually have the original layout with a boiler in the kitchen or a first-floor cupboard and long pipe runs to the back bedrooms. Radiators at the far end run cool, systems sludge up, and a like-for-like combi swap does nothing about either. A power flush, a magnetic filter and proper balancing usually fix more than a bigger boiler would.
The mansion flats and conversions along Tooting Bec Common and Trinity Road often share flue positions and have limited places a modern boiler can legally go. Flue routing and clearances are where a survey earns its keep.
The family houses that have been extended with a loft or a side return now have two or three bathrooms on a combi that was sized for one. If the shower goes cold when someone runs a tap, the answer is a system boiler with an unvented cylinder, sized from the measured flow at the main. We measure it before we recommend.
All of Tooting is on hard water. A scale reducer at installation and a proper inhibitor dose at every service are not extras here; they are what keeps a 12-year warranty valid.

Questions people in Tooting ask
How quickly can you get to Tooting?
We are next door in Balham. 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 SW17?
Yes, with a digital copy the same day, and we can service the boiler in the same visit.
My radiators upstairs are cold but the boiler is fine. Do I need a new boiler?
Usually not. Cold radiators at the far end of a long Edwardian run are nearly always a circulation or sludge problem. A diagnostic visit tells you which, and a flush and rebalance is a fraction of the cost of a boiler.
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.
