Check the boiler’s general condition and key components
A boiler has a habit of playing up at the worst possible time — usually when it’s cold, you’ve got the school run, or you’ve got people coming over and suddenly there’s no hot water. We see it all the time across Essex. Pressure dropping for no obvious reason, radiators warming up unevenly, a boiler that keeps cutting out, or that new rattle you’re hoping will “just go away”.
At Amora Designs, we provide boiler servicing and repairs across Essex, helping homeowners and landlords keep their heating safe, efficient, and dependable. Whether you’re in a Victorian terrace with older pipework or a newer build with everything boxed in behind kitchen units, we’ll get to the root of the problem and talk you through it clearly — no drama, no waffle.
Our Boiler Servicing & Repair Service in Essex
Boilers don’t usually fail out of nowhere. Most issues build up slowly: minor leaks, limescale, worn components, poor circulation, or a system that hasn’t been looked after for a while. Our job is to spot what’s going on early, fix what needs fixing, and keep everything running properly.
What servicing includes
A proper boiler service is about more than a quick look and a sticker. When we service a boiler, we typically:

Why choose Amora Designs
When you’re trusting someone with your heating, you want more than “we’ll have a look”. You want someone who turns up, communicates well, and does the job properly.
Local experience that actually matters
Essex properties are varied. We work in older terraces where pipework has been altered over decades, 1930s semis with ageing radiators, flats where access can be tighter, and modern developments where boilers are tucked away in cupboards with limited working space. Add the typical Essex winter damp and cold snaps, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for boilers to show their weak points.
Because we’re working locally day in, day out, we’re used to what tends to go wrong — and what fixes last.
Straight answers and tidy work
If a boiler is repairable, we’ll tell you. If it’s becoming a false economy, we’ll be honest about that too. We’ll also keep your home tidy and respect that most people don’t want their kitchen turned upside down for a simple service or repair.
Reliability and clarity
Boiler issues are stressful enough without chasing trades for updates. We keep communication simple: we’ll tell you what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, and what it’s likely to cost before anything major happens.
Our Process
We keep things straightforward so you know exactly what to expect.
Book in and get the right info
When you contact us, we’ll ask a couple of quick questions (symptoms, boiler make/model if you know it, and whether you’ve had any recent issues). It helps us arrive prepared.
Diagnose Properly
We don’t rush diagnosis. We’ll check the obvious, then work through the likely causes based on what we’re seeing. If there are warning signs elsewhere in the system (like poor circulation or sludge), we’ll flag it.
Carry out the work and test thoroughly
Once we repair or service the boiler, we’ll test the system properly — not just “it fired up once”. We’ll check heating and hot water performance, look for pressure stability, and make sure everything is behaving as it should.
Explain what we found
You’ll get a clear explanation of what caused the issue, what we’ve done, and any sensible next steps to prevent repeat problems.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a boiler be serviced?
Most households book a service once a year. It helps keep things running efficiently and can pick up small issues before they become expensive repairs.
My boiler’s losing pressure — is it urgent?
It can be. If you’re topping it up regularly, there’s usually a reason (a leak, a pressure relief issue, or a component starting to fail). It’s best to get it checked before it worsens.
Do you offer emergency boiler repairs in Essex?
If you’ve got no heating or hot water, or the boiler keeps cutting out, contact us and we’ll do our best to prioritise urgent jobs where availability allows.
Why are my radiators heating unevenly?
Often it’s trapped air, sludge, or circulation issues. Sometimes it’s a balancing problem. We’ll check the system and advise on the most practical fix.
Can you service older boilers?
In many cases, yes. Older boilers can still run well if they’ve been looked after. We’ll assess the condition and give you an honest view on reliability and repairability.
