We have been repairing heating systems in Herongate and the rest of the Brentwood area for decades, from gravity systems in older houses to sealed combi systems in newer ones. About 82% of local homes rely on gas heating and the water is very hard at 390 ppm, so we carry the parts that fail most here. Our van is about 15 minutes from you.

Not every heating fault is the boiler. Radiators that stay cold while the boiler runs, heating that works upstairs but not down, hot water with no heating, a pump that rattles, a thermostat that does nothing when you turn it up, or a system that keeps losing pressure are all faults in the system around the boiler.

Our engineer traces the fault from the symptoms: a stuck motorised valve, a failed pump, a blocked pipe, an airlock, a faulty thermostat or programmer, a leaking joint under a floor. We tell you what it is and what it costs, then repair it, refill or repressurise the system and test every radiator and the hot water before leaving.

We have repaired heating systems across Essex for more than 40 years, so we know the layouts and components used in local housing of every age. Call-out starts from £90 and the repair price is agreed before we start.

Essex Heating Engineers installed a new boiler for me in Rayleigh, and they were excellent from start to finish. The team was punctual, tidy, and really professional. The installation was quick, everything was explained clearly, and the new boiler works per...

Ash arrived on time, gave us his advice and explained how we should proceed. His quote was reasonable and when we get his email we will arrange a time for the installation of a new thermostat. They covered our floors, so they didn't track anything in. They ...

Questions about central heating repairs in Herongate

How much does a heating repair cost?

Call-out starts from £90, which covers the visit and diagnosis. Once the engineer has found the fault you get a price for the repair including parts, and the work only goes ahead when you have agreed it.

How quickly can you come?

Call 01268 855605 and we will tell you when the next engineer is free. No heating in cold weather is treated as a priority, and the emergency line runs 24 hours a day for faults that cannot wait until the next working day.

Why are some radiators cold when the boiler is working?

Cold at the top means air, which bleeding fixes. Cold at the bottom means sludge, which needs a flush. Whole radiators cold while others are hot usually means the system is out of balance or a valve has stuck. Upstairs hot and downstairs cold often points to the pump.

I have hot water but no heating. What is wrong?

On a system with a cylinder this is usually the motorised valve or the room thermostat failing to call for heat. On a combi it can be the diverter valve. Both are common repairs that the engineer can usually complete on the first visit with parts from the van.

How far is Herongate from you?

Herongate is 10 miles from our base in Bowers Gifford, about 15 minutes by van. Same-day emergency cover and typical arrival in about 15 minutes.
