New boilers and heating
Combi, system and regular boiler replacements, radiators, power flushes and magnetic filters.
Gas work is not a DIY job. By law, anyone working on your boiler, gas fire or hob must be on the Gas Safe Register. Before they start, ask to see their Gas Safe ID card and check the back to confirm they're qualified for your type of appliance.
Barming's eastern end is part of Maidstone's built-up area, and a lot of new housing has been built in recent years near Maidstone Hospital and along Hermitage Lane. In these newer homes, the boiler is usually covered by a manufacturer's warranty that depends on an annual service by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Missing a service can void the warranty, so keep the paperwork. Faults in the first couple of years may also be covered by the developer's warranty, so report them to the developer before paying for a repair.
Older homes in the village and closer to town are more likely to have a regular boiler with a hot water cylinder, and original radiators and pipework that have collected sludge over the years. A flush before a new boiler goes in protects it.
The rest of the parish is rural, running down to the Medway, and some homes there aren't on mains gas. LPG appliances need a Gas Safe registered engineer qualified for LPG, so check the back of their ID card. Oil boilers are a different trade: they need a technician registered with OFTEC, so say which fuel you have when you post your job.
Barming's water is hard, and limescale builds up fastest where water is heated. In a combi, that means the plate heat exchanger that makes your hot water. Check every new-boiler quote includes scale protection, a magnetic system filter and inhibitor.
When comparing quotes, check the boiler make and model, the warranty and what keeps it valid, and whether the system will be flushed. Reviews on Trade Pilot come from real, invoiced jobs. If you smell gas, leave the property, turn off the gas at the meter if it's safe to do so, and call 0800 111 999.

Frequently Asked Questions
Usually £80 to £150. Many boiler warranties need a service every year, so check yours. Booking in late summer or early autumn, before the winter rush, is often easier.
Check your warranties first. The developer's warranty may cover faults in the first couple of years, and the boiler maker's warranty usually covers parts if the boiler has been serviced every year.
For LPG, yes, if the engineer is Gas Safe registered and qualified for LPG; check the back of their ID card. For an oil boiler, you need a technician registered with OFTEC instead.
Ask to see their Gas Safe ID card and check the back, which lists the types of gas work they're qualified to do. You can also check them on the Gas Safe Register website.
Every 12 months, by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Give tenants a copy within 28 days of the check, or before they move in, and keep each record for at least two years.
