When your boiler breaks down, you need a heating engineer you can trust to fix it quickly and properly. At R. Foster Plumbing & Heating, we've been repairing boilers across Kettering, Northamptonshire and Rutland for over 24 years, helping homeowners get their heating and hot water back up and running.
Experienced Local Engineers
As a Gas Safe registered company with more than two decades of experience, we've diagnosed and repaired just about every boiler problem imaginable. From modern condensing boilers to older systems, our qualified engineers have the knowledge and expertise to identify faults quickly and carry out repairs to the highest standard.
We're a family-run business that's been serving the Kettering community for years. We understand how disruptive a boiler breakdown can be, especially during the colder months, which is why we work efficiently to get your heating system working again as soon as possible.
Common Boiler Problems We Fix
Our Gas Safe engineers are experienced in repairing all types of boiler faults, including:
Boilers that won't fire up or keep cutting out, often caused by issues with the thermostat, pressure, or ignition system. We'll diagnose the root cause and get your boiler firing reliably again.
No heating or hot water, which could indicate problems with the diverter valve, pump, or other internal components. We carry common spare parts to complete many repairs on the first visit.
Loss of pressure, leaks, or dripping, which need prompt attention to prevent further damage to your system or property.
Strange noises such as banging, whistling, or kettling sounds, which often point to circulation issues, limescale build-up, or air in the system.
Error codes and warning lights that indicate specific faults. We're familiar with all major boiler brands and can quickly interpret what your boiler is telling us.
Priority Service for Care Plan Customers
If you're on one of our Boiler Cover Plans, you'll benefit from priority callouts when your boiler breaks down. Our Silver Plan customers receive responses within 4 hours for breakdowns reported before 5pm, whilst Gold Plan customers get even faster 1-2 hour response times. Care Plan customers also receive discounted breakdown labour, making repairs more affordable when you need them most.
Quality Repairs, Guaranteed
Every repair we carry out is completed to Gas Safe standards, and we only use quality replacement parts to ensure lasting results. We'll explain exactly what's wrong with your boiler, what needs to be done to fix it, and provide you with a clear price before we start any work.
All our work is properly certified, giving you peace of mind that your boiler has been repaired safely and in compliance with current regulations.
