Wandsworth’s houses and what they ask of a heating engineer
Wandsworth Common and the Toast Rack. Large Victorian and Edwardian houses, many extended into the loft and the side return, with three or four bathrooms. Hot water is the constant complaint. The answer is almost never a bigger combi; it is a system boiler with an unvented cylinder sized from the measured flow at the main, sometimes with a second cylinder or a booster where the mains cannot keep up. We measure and design before we quote, and we do the heat loss calculation so the radiators match the house rather than the last engineer’s guess.
Earlsfield and the Garratt Lane grid. Victorian terraces, often converted into flats, with boilers in tight kitchen cupboards and flues that have to be routed carefully past neighbouring windows. Sludge in old systems shows up as cold radiators at the far end; a flush and a magnetic filter fix more than a boiler swap.
Wandsworth Town and the riverside. Newer flats with system boilers, pressurised cylinders and, in some blocks, communal heat. The common faults are pressure loss, failed expansion vessels and unvented cylinders that have never had their G3 service. Annual servicing here is about keeping the warranty, the paperwork and the safety devices in order.
All of Wandsworth 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 Wandsworth ask
We have four bathrooms and never enough hot water. What do we need?
Almost always a system boiler with a correctly sized unvented cylinder, and sometimes a look at the incoming main. We measure the flow and pressure at the main first; that decides the design.
Do you service unvented cylinders?
Yes. The annual G3 service checks the safety devices, expansion vessel and discharge, and it is what keeps the cylinder’s warranty valid.
Do you do landlord gas safety certificates in SW18?
Yes, with a digital copy the same day, and we can service the boiler in the same visit.
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.
