Frequently Asked Questions
Do you repair gas boilers?
Yes, our expertise is dedicated to servicing and repairing gas boilers. Our team of boiler service engineers have specialised knowledge and tools required to maintain, repair, and service gas boilers across a wide range of brands and models. By concentrating exclusively on gas boilers, we ensure that our clients receive unparalleled expertise and attention.
This focused approach enables us to keep abreast of the latest technological advancements and safety protocols, guaranteeing top-tier service for all your gas boiler requirements. Please note, however, that we do not offer services for electric combi boiler, oil boilers, or biomass boilers.
What should I do before the heating engineers come?
For a smooth and hassle-free service, make sure the entry for the boiler engineers is facilitated especially if you live in a building with restricted access.
Before the engineer arrives, clear any obstructions around your boiler and secure pets or children away from the work area or the boiler rooms for safety purposes.
If you suspect a gas leak, ventilate the area well without using electrical switches. Also, take into consideration that the engineer has unobstructed access to your home’s water and electrical supply.
Most importantly, make sure someone is available to grant access to your home and have the warranty documents or service records ready for review. List any issues you’ve noticed with your system beforehand, including the make and model of your boiler, to assist in diagnostics.
It is also important for you to think of any questions that you might have regarding the repair or maintenance of your boiler. Rest assured that all our engineers can provide you the necessary information that you need.
Will the repair be completed within a single visit?
With Rowlen, we take pride in delivering fast, reliable, and cost-effective results. While minor boiler repairs can often be completed within a single visit, more complex issues like central heating repairs may require additional time.
Our Gas Safe registered engineers come prepared with common boiler spares and aim to resolve most issues promptly. Our vans are stocked with an array of boiler spare parts, enabling us to perform a majority of domestic boiler repairs without delay.
However, should your heating systems require specialized parts, like a Vaillant boiler repair kit or Halstead boiler component, that are not available on-hand, we will provide a fixed price upfront and schedule a follow-up repair.
What happens if my boiler cannot be repaired?
Rowlen will assess your boiler first. If the heating engineer finds it impossible for repair or if repairing your old boiler will cost you more, we will recommend the option of boiler replacement.
Don’t worry; we will guide you through selecting a new, energy-efficient boiler that suits your Watford property. Rowlen has a team of accredited and highly qualified gas fitters who can provide professional boiler installation service.

How can I prevent frequent boiler repairs in the future?
An annual boiler service is the best preventative measure against frequent boiler issues. Regular servicing offers many benefits for your safety and your finances. As we all know, a well-maintained boiler uses less energy and therefore helps you save money in the long run.
Through regular boiler servicing in Watford, you can detect and address minor problems early on, helping you keep your family’s safety, especially from the horrors of unmonitored gas leaks that could cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Moreover, most boiler manufacturers recommend getting an annual service in order to keep your boiler’s warranty valid. Have your boiler serviced with Rowlen and experience peace of mind all-year round.
What is power flushing and when is it necessary?
Power flushing is a process used to clean out sludge and rust from your heating system, improving efficiency and extending the life of your boiler. Rowlen recommends this service when you notice cold spots in radiators or reduced heating efficiency.
Should I repair or replace my boiler?
The decision to repair or replace your boiler hinges on factors like age, condition, and efficiency. While repairs might be a short-term solution, investing in a new boiler might be more economical over time especially in dealing faulty old boilers.
Our heating services in Watford can help determine the best course of action, and our heating engineers can perform both boiler installations and repairs that aim for the satisfaction of our customers.
Why are gas safety checks important?
Gas safety checks are important to ensure that all gas appliances, including boilers and cookers, are operating safely and efficiently. These checks prevent risks such as gas leaks and carbon monoxide poisoning, ensuring your home is safe. This can only be performed by a fully qualified Gas Safe registered engineer.
