Victorian terraces to new-builds: the boilers we look after around Keynsham
Keynsham sits between Bristol and Bath, and the houses reflect it. Near the High Street and the River Chew there are older stone and brick terraces, many with boilers that have been moved, boxed in or squeezed into a kitchen cupboard during past renovations. Further out you'll find 1930s and post-war semis, and newer estates around the old Somerdale site. Each has its own heating quirks.
In older houses, we often find tired pumps, sticking diverter valves and radiators that have been balanced badly over the years. Combi boilers in busy family homes tend to lose pressure or struggle with hot water at peak times. Newer boilers more often suffer from condensate pipes that freeze on cold mornings, or from a missed service that has quietly dragged efficiency down.
The water in this part of the West Country is on the hard side. Over time, limescale builds up in heat exchangers and small waterways, so a boiler that was fine for years can start to kettle, cut out or run cold. A service that includes a proper look at those parts catches the problem early.
We repair most makes of gas boiler and carry out annual services for homeowners and landlords. If a repair isn't worth the money on an old unit, we'll say so plainly and talk you through what a replacement would involve before you spend anything.
- No heating or hot water, or a boiler that keeps locking out
- Banging, whistling or gurgling from the boiler or pipework
- Pressure that keeps dropping, or radiators that stay cold at the top or bottom
- Pilot light or ignition faults, and error codes on the display
- Annual servicing and landlord gas safety checks

Boiler questions from Keynsham homeowners
How quickly can you get to a broken boiler in Keynsham?
We offer same day callouts, depending on how busy the day is when you ring. Call during opening hours (Monday to Friday 9-6, Saturday 9-4) and we'll tell you honestly what we can do.
What happens during a boiler service?
The engineer inspects the boiler, flue and visible pipework, checks it's operating safely and efficiently, and tells you about any wear or faults. The exact checks depend on the make and type of boiler.
My boiler is in a tight cupboard or the loft. Is that a problem?
Not usually. It's common in older Keynsham houses that have been altered over the years. We'll check there's enough access to work safely and that the flue and ventilation are in order, and let you know if anything needs changing.
Could hard water be affecting my boiler?
It can. This area has hard water, and scale can build up inside a boiler and its heating circuit over the years, reducing efficiency or causing noise and cut-outs. Regular servicing helps spot early signs, and we can advise on options for your system.
How much will a repair cost?
It depends on the fault, the boiler model and the parts needed, so we won't guess over the phone. We'll diagnose the problem, give you a free quote and only carry on once you're happy with it.
What should I do if I smell gas?
Turn off the gas at the meter if you can do so safely, open windows and doors, avoid switches and naked flames, and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 straight away. Once the situation is made safe, we can look at the boiler or appliance.
