A purpose-built block
There may be communal constraints on anything fixed to an external wall, including where a flue can terminate. Worth establishing with the block before a boiler is chosen, not after.
Hammersmith changes a lot between the river and Brackenbury Village, and so does the work. Flats are the recurring theme — a boiler in a kitchen cupboard, limited clearance, and in a block, rules about where a flue can terminate. It's why we won't price one from a photo.

Hammersmith runs from the riverside up through Brackenbury Village and around Ravenscourt Park, and across W6 the housing changes noticeably as you go — Victorian terraces on the quieter streets, purpose-built mansion blocks nearer the main roads and the river, and a significant amount of purpose-built and converted flats.
Mansion-block flats often have older communal pipework and tight boiler cupboards, and terraces hide ageing systems behind smart frontages. On sealed systems that age, sludge is the usual troublemaker — black magnetite that jams valves and pumps and leaves radiators cold at the bottom, best tackled with a clean, inhibitor and magnetic filter.
Hard water across W6 means limescale on combi parts and tap valves is a recurring theme.

The decisive questions on a Hammersmith install are where the boiler can sit, whether the flue can terminate safely from that position, and what the existing pipework will support. Which of those dominates depends on the building.
There may be communal constraints on anything fixed to an external wall, including where a flue can terminate. Worth establishing with the block before a boiler is chosen, not after.
The limit is usually the cupboard and the access route — the boiler went in wherever there was room when the house was split, and the pipework followed.
Repairs and servicing are the bulk of our work. The common calls are no heating, no hot water, leaks, ignition failures and lockouts, and diverter valve faults where heating and hot water come on together without demand.
On older systems we frequently find sludge — magnetite from internal corrosion — which jams diverter valves and pumps, restricts the heat exchanger and shows up as cold spots at the bottom of radiators.
We diagnose the system water and filter condition before recommending a clean, an inhibitor top-up or a powerflush, rather than defaulting to the most expensive option.

Yes. Both are common in Hammersmith and both bring constraints — limited boiler positions, original pipe runs and communal restrictions on where a flue can terminate. We check all of that at the free survey rather than after a price has already been agreed with you.
On an older system it is often sludge. Black magnetite from internal corrosion jams the diverter valve, clogs the pump and restricts the heat exchanger, causing repeat faults. A correctly dosed inhibitor and a magnetic filter prevent it; a powerflush clears a system that is already affected.
Yes. We issue Landlord Gas Safety Certificates (CP12) covering the gas appliances and flues you provide. We work around tenants, and many landlords arrange the annual boiler service at the same visit to save a second appointment and a second round of access.
