Boiler replacement

[Jade Young]

Dear GLE and Crescent House neighbours,
Does anyone have any advice on boiler replacement? Has anyone been able to get assistance from the Greater London Boiler replacement scheme? Would love to know how everyone manages this - heating and venting through the existing windows over Goswell Road? Thanking all in advance. Jade

Hi Jade

I would check with the Corporation if the communal heating project is going ahead first. For City tenants, the Corporation will replace your boiler if it is old , not energy efficient or unsafe , you would need to contact the Property Services Team  and if it is broken then the repairs team.. For leaseholders , probably best to look up other schemes, especially if you are looking for an environmentally friendly one , I would contact Corporation's Property Services team to see if they can contribute etc. For renters - your landlord is responsible for boiler repairs. The boiler replacements in Crescent House are very tricky , due to the design of the flats and the fluke having to be often placed through the window. I hope this  is of help. 

Kind Regards

Mrs W

Thanks Mrs W.  Yes . . it is a tricky one.  We have been waiting to see how the situation could be managed - it's at least 15 years old - so it's lasted well!
