When your boiler locks out, drops pressure or refuses to fire, you want it fixed today — not a lecture on why you need a new one. Plumbstar handles boiler repair in Maidstone on Worcester, Vaillant, Baxi, Ideal, Glow-worm, Potterton and Main. Gas Safe registered 602922, diagnostics done properly, honest advice on whether it’s worth fixing.
Common Maidstone boiler faults we fix
- Pressure keeps dropping — usually a leak or a failed expansion vessel
- Boiler locks out on fault code F1, F22, F28, EA and similar
- No hot water but heating works (or vice versa) — diverter valve
- Kettling, banging or whistling — pump, heat exchanger, sludge
- Frozen condensate pipe in winter — quick thaw and lag
- Ignition failure or gas valve issues
How we diagnose and quote
Callout charge is fixed and includes the first hour of diagnostics. If the fix is simple — a stuck valve, a fault code reset, a leaking auto-air-vent — we’ll do it there and then. If parts are needed we quote before ordering, and we’ll be straight with you if the repair cost is close to a new boiler.
Repair or replace — honest advice
A 6-year-old boiler with a £180 fix is almost always worth repairing. A 16-year-old boiler with a heat-exchanger fault probably isn’t. We’ll show you the numbers — repair cost, likely lifespan, running costs on a new model — and let you decide. No pressure sell.
We cover Maidstone town and the surrounding villages — Bearsted, Aylesford, Ditton, East Malling, Loose, Boughton Monchelsea, Barming, Allington, Larkfield and Leybourne. Most boiler repair jobs across ME, TN and CT postcodes are quoted the same week and scheduled within a few working days.
