Stratton St Margaret is about 4 miles from my base in Highworth, on the eastern edge of Swindon. A lot of the housing here dates from the post-war years, and plenty of those homes have had two or three boilers over their lifetime, fitted to pipework that may be much older. If yours has stopped, ring me and tell me roughly how old the boiler is and what it is showing, so I can start narrowing down the cause.
Breakdown · Stratton St Margaret
Newer boilers on older post-war pipework
Many post-war and later 20th century homes in Stratton St Margaret were built with an older heating system and had a modern boiler fitted later. Where the old radiators and pipework stayed, sludge and corrosion from years of use can end up in the new boiler, causing blocked heat exchangers, noisy running or overheating lockouts. If your boiler is fairly new but keeps faulting, mention when it was fitted and whether the system was cleaned out at the time. That history often explains the breakdown.
