Landlord gas safety, boiler servicing and heating repairs in St James
Lombardi Heating provides landlord gas safety certificates, boiler servicing, boiler repairs and heating repairs for properties in St James, Exeter.
St James has a high number of rental properties, shared houses and student lets, with homes around the university side of the city and close to Exeter City Football Club’s St James Park ground. For landlords and property owners, the priority is usually simple: keep the property compliant, keep the heating and hot water reliable, and deal with problems quickly when tenants report an issue.
We help with annual gas safety checks, boiler servicing, no heating and no hot water faults, radiator problems, heating controls and replacement boilers for rental properties.
Heating and gas safety support for St James rental properties
Rental properties in St James need heating and gas safety work to be organised, clear and practical.
A boiler problem during term time can quickly become stressful for tenants and landlords. The issue might be a boiler fault, low pressure, heating controls, radiator valves, programmer settings or a wider system problem. Good diagnosis matters because guessing can lead to repeat visits and unnecessary cost.
We help landlords, property owners and letting agents with:
-
Landlord gas safety certificates / CP12s
-
Annual boiler servicing
-
Boiler repairs and heating fault finding
-
No heating and no hot water issues
-
Radiator and TRV problems
-
Heating controls and programmer issues
-
Replacement boilers for rental properties
-
Heating issues between tenancies
The aim is to keep the property compliant, reduce avoidable breakdowns and deal with heating issues properly when they come up.
Landlord gas safety certificates in St James
We provide landlord gas safety certificates / CP12s for rental properties in St James and nearby parts of Exeter.
For landlords, the annual gas safety check is not just admin. It is a chance to check that the gas appliances are safe, identify issues early and keep the property properly managed.
Where suitable, we can also carry out the boiler service during the same visit. This is often more practical for landlords and tenants, because it reduces separate access arrangements and helps keep the boiler maintained as well as checked.

Boiler servicing for St James properties
We provide boiler servicing for rental properties, shared houses and local homes in St James.
In rental properties, annual servicing helps reduce avoidable breakdowns and gives the landlord a clearer view of the condition of the boiler. It can also help pick up early signs of leaks, pressure problems, poor performance, worn parts or issues with the wider heating system.
For student lets and shared houses, it is usually better to deal with servicing and minor heating issues before winter or between tenancies where possible. That reduces disruption for tenants and helps avoid urgent heating problems during busy periods.

Boiler repairs and no heating calls in St James
We carry out boiler repairs and heating fault finding in St James for rental properties, shared houses and local homes.
Common issues include no heating, no hot water, boiler fault codes, pressure loss, leaks, noisy boilers, radiators not heating properly and heating controls not working as expected.
In rental properties, the reported problem is not always the root cause. A tenant may report that the boiler is broken, but the issue could be low pressure, controls, radiator valves, circulation, a programmer setting or another part of the heating system.
We diagnose the fault properly, explain what we have found and advise on the most sensible repair.
For more detail, see our boiler repair in Exeter page.

Replacement boilers in St James
Sometimes repairing the boiler is the right answer. Sometimes the boiler is old, unreliable or becoming uneconomical to keep repairing.
For rental properties in St James, a replacement boiler should be reliable, straightforward for tenants to use and suitable for the property. It should also be installed properly, with clear controls, good system protection and access for future servicing.
When quoting, we consider the property size, number of occupants, hot water demand, existing pipework, flue and condensate route, system cleanliness, controls and long-term maintainability.
The aim is to recommend a sensible boiler installation for the property, not overcomplicate the job or fit the cheapest option available.
For more detail, see our boiler installation in Exeter page.
Radiators, TRVs and heating controls in St James
Not every heating issue in a rental property is caused by the boiler. We also help with radiator problems, stuck TRVs, old radiator valves, heating controls, programmer settings, leaks and rooms that do not heat properly.
In shared houses and student lets, heating controls need to be simple enough for tenants to use and reliable enough for the landlord to avoid repeat problems. A poorly set programmer, faulty thermostat or stuck radiator valve can lead to complaints even when the boiler itself is working.
Where appropriate, we can advise on practical repairs and improvements that make the heating easier to use and less likely to cause ongoing issues.
