You know that moment when the heating cuts out, it’s grey outside, and you’re standing in the kitchen off Green Street staring at a flashing boiler? That’s the kind of thing we deal with every single week. We’re local Gas Safe engineers looking after boilers across Upton Park E13 — from flats above shops near Queen’s Market to family houses around the old Boleyn Ground — with honest advice on servicing, repairs and the real cost of boiler replacement.
📞 Call 07727 154746 – Get Help with Your BoilerWe’re not a faceless national call centre. We’re a small East London team, and Upton Park is very much on our patch. One day it’s a tired combi in a terrace just off Barking Road, the next it’s a newer boiler in a flat between Upton Park and East Ham stations that’s never been set up properly.
Because we’re around here so often, we recognise a lot of the house types before we’ve even knocked on the door. Tall, narrow terraces where the boiler’s tucked awkwardly in a kitchen corner. Older systems that have been “patched up” for years. And those flats above Green Street shops where hot water pressure never seems quite right.
What you get from us is simple: we turn up when we say we will, we explain things in normal language and we give you clear choices. If a repair is sensible, we’ll say that. If you’re just throwing money at an old boiler that’s on borrowed time, we’ll say that too.
Most of the boiler work we do around Upton Park falls into a few familiar jobs. Here’s how we usually help:
| 🔥 Annual boiler servicing | A proper service, not a five-minute dust and dash. Combustion readings, flue checks, safety tests and cleaning — especially important for older boilers in E13 terraces that get hammered every winter. |
| 🛠️ Boiler repairs & fault finding | No hot water, banging noises, pressure dropping every day, mystery error codes – we’ve seen all of it. We track down the fault and then talk through whether repair or replacement makes more sense. |
| 💡 New boiler installation | Clear, realistic advice on boiler cost and installation in Upton Park. That might be a compact combi for a one-bed flat on Green Street or a higher output boiler for a busy family near Priory Road. |
| 🚿 Heating & plumbing issues | Radiators that never quite warm up, noisy pipework, air in the system, cylinders and valves. We sort the underlying cause, not just the symptom. |
| 📄 Landlord gas safety checks | Regular CP12 certificates for rental properties around Queen’s Market, Boleyn and the surrounding streets — often combined with a service to keep everything up to date in one visit. |
If you’re trying to get your head around new boiler prices and what’s fair, start with our boiler cost and installation guide. Then, when you’re ready, call 07727 154746 or send us a message and we’ll tailor it to your Upton Park home.
A lot of people tell us, “It was serviced last year, but the engineer was barely here.” That’s not how we work. In a typical Upton Park terrace we’ll remove the case, check combustion, clean out the burner where needed, inspect seals, test safety devices, and make sure the flue is doing what it should.
In some of the older houses closer to Plaistow, we often find old controls and pumps still hanging on. In the flats in and around Queen’s Market, it’s usually about getting the most out of limited space and making sure the boiler isn’t short-cycling itself to death.
When we finish, we go through things with you in real terms. “This is fine.” “This bit is tired but safe for now.” “This part will probably be the next thing to fail.” You get a clear picture, not a vague “all sorted” and a rush out of the door.
Those adverts that shout one fixed price for every home? They don’t live in Upton Park. The true cost of boiler replacement depends on where the boiler is, how awkward the flue run is, the state of the existing pipework and how much hot water you actually use.
A straight swap in a small flat just off Green Street is one thing. Ripping out an old, inefficient unit in a bigger house nearer Barking Road and bringing everything up to modern standards is something else entirely. That’s why we prefer to visit, look properly, and then talk numbers.
If you’re comparing boiler installation London wide, our new boiler prices and installation guide gives you a solid baseline. From there, we layer in the specifics of your Upton Park property so you’re not just guessing.
We do sometimes get asked, “Can you get a free boiler round here?” Occasionally, yes — certain schemes help specific households, usually based on income, benefits and how old the boiler is. We can’t promise a free system, but we can point you at the right information and help you decide if it’s worth going down that road or just getting the job done.
Most of our work now comes from people telling friends, neighbours, or the family WhatsApp chat that “the boiler guy was decent”. A few examples that sum things up:
You’ll see our van all over this part of East London. On a typical week we might be:
If you’re just outside E13, we also look after heating systems for Forest Gate households, deal with boiler problems in East Ham properties, carry out heating work in Plaistow homes, and regularly help people looking for boiler servicing in Stratford. For bigger projects or moves, we also handle boiler fitting across London.
Once a year is the sweet spot for most boilers. It keeps things safe, maintains any warranty and usually stops little issues turning into a full breakdown halfway through winter. If your boiler is quite old or works hard for a big household, we’ll sometimes suggest keeping an even closer eye on it.
Biggest things are: whether the boiler is staying in the same place, how tricky the flue is, the condition of your existing pipework and what size/output you actually need. A simple swap in a compact flat near Green Street is one price; moving and upgrading an old setup in a bigger home towards Plaistow is another. We only quote after seeing the job properly.
Depending on your situation, you might. Some government-backed schemes help certain households with very old, inefficient boilers. They change often, so we’ll never promise a free boiler, but we can let you know what’s currently available and whether it’s worth exploring.
We’re based in East London, so we’re usually not far away. If your boiler packs up in Upton Park — especially around Green Street, Boleyn or Queen’s Market — call 07727 154746 and we’ll let you know how quickly we can get there and what the likely next steps are.
Upton Park, East Ham, Forest Gate and the surrounding areas are where we spend most of our time, but plenty of our customers ask us to help with boiler installation London wide too. If you’ve got properties in a few different postcodes, it’s still worth giving us a call.
If you’re standing in front of a noisy boiler in an E13 kitchen and can’t decide what to do next, send us a couple of photos and your postcode through the ARA Services contact page or call 07727 154746. We’ll give you straight, no-nonsense advice either way.
