What our boiler repair Cherry Hinton visits cover

Most of the calls we get from CB1 addresses are about gas combi and system boilers: ignition lockouts, low pressure, diverter valves sticking so the taps run cold while the heating works, noisy pumps and condensate pipes that freeze in hard frosts. Anglian PHE has been trading since 1993 and has a team of over 10 local engineers. We are Gas Safe registered (572792) for gas appliances, OFTEC trained for the occasional oil boiler, and NAPIT registered for electrical work such as heating controls. There is no call-out fee. Alongside repairs, we take on:

Hard chalk water, 1930s semis and new-build combis

Cherry Hinton sits on chalk, and the water supplied here is very hard. Over time that scale builds up inside combi plate heat exchangers and hot water cylinders, which shows up as hot water that surges hot and cold, a kettling noise from the boiler, or a combi that cuts out when you run a shower. Descaling or replacing the plate heat exchanger, and fitting or servicing a scale reducer, are common fixes. The housing mix is wide: flint and brick cottages near the High Street and Church End, rows of 1930s semis and post-war homes off Cherry Hinton Road and Fulbourn Road, plenty of rented rooms and flats, helped by the hospital campus at Addenbrooke’s being close by, and modern estates on the northern edge with newer condensing boilers still under manufacturer warranty. Nearly everything here is on mains gas. Landlords need a gas safety certificate (CP12) every year, and we can carry that out on the same visit as a repair or service.

Getting to Cherry Hinton from our Clare office

From Clare our engineers normally head through Haverhill and along the A1307 past Linton, then come in over the Gog Magog Hills via Babraham Road or Lime Kiln Road. Another way in is through Balsham and Fulbourn. Either way it is about 25 miles by road and usually 40 to 50 minutes, depending on traffic on the ring road. Useful landmarks if you are giving directions are Cherry Hinton Hall park, where the Cambridge Folk Festival is held, the chalk pit nature reserves at Lime Kiln Close and East Pit, Cherry Hinton Brook, and the airport on the north side. A CB1 postcode and a note on parking (some older streets are narrow) helps us arrive with the van in the right place.

We also cover Fulbourn, Cambridge, Great Shelford, Sawston and Linton, and every town we serve is listed on our Areas We Cover page. To see how we track down faults, read about our boiler repair service, or book an annual boiler service to spot worn parts before they fail.

Cherry Hinton plumbing and heating FAQs

My combi’s hot water keeps going hot then cold. Is that the hard water?

It often is. In hard water areas like Cherry Hinton, scale narrows the plate heat exchanger that heats your tap water, so the temperature swings or the boiler overheats and cuts out. A diverter valve or flow sensor fault can give similar symptoms, so an engineer needs to test it before replacing anything.

Can I reset my boiler myself before calling you?

You can press the reset button once, as described in your boiler manual, and check that the pressure gauge reads roughly 1 to 1.5 bar when cold. Do not remove the boiler casing or try to adjust gas parts; by law only a Gas Safe registered engineer may work on gas appliances. If you smell gas, turn off the supply at the meter if it is safe to do so, open windows and call the National Gas Emergency number on 0800 111 999.

Do you also cover Teversham, Queen Edith’s and Fulbourn?

Yes. Teversham, Queen Edith’s, Fulbourn and the rest of south-east Cambridge are inside our domestic coverage. Send your postcode and we will confirm.
