George Lane, Gas Safe No. 515374. Fully insured, 25+ years on boilers. I do every job myself, from the first visit to the finished work.
If you smell gas, leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency number, 0800 111 999, before anything else. Once the supply has been made safe, I can come and deal with the appliance.
What my customers say
5.0 from 103 Google reviews for Thames Boilers, my previous business in Kent
Tarka Boilers is new to North Devon, so it has no reviews of its own yet. Every review here is from a customer of Thames Boilers, the heating business I ran in Kent before I moved here.
Read all 124 reviewsExcellent service, all problems have been fixed, full service carried out,in fact more was done than British gas have done over several years. I would recommend Thames boilers without any hesitation. Well done and thank you.
Brian P.Google review, May 2026Customer of Thames Boilers, Kent In the past ive had a few unreliable plumbers. George did some plumbing work for me in the kitchen recently. Very happy with the repair - always polite, punctual, and tidy. George also services my boiler annually. Will continue to use his services. Have recommended him to friends and family.
Joan R.Google review, June 2025Customer of Thames Boilers, Kent We have used Thames Boilers twice over the years, firstly for a repair and more recently a boiler service and simply George is the man. He is professional from start to finish, knowledgeable and friendly. We will continue to use Thames Boilers in the future and happily recommend their services to friends and family - thank you!
Jamie F.Google review, April 2025Customer of Thames Boilers, Kent Always great service from George at Thames Boilers. I had a problem with hot water only coming on when we put the heating on .. George arrived when he said he would and was able to diagnose the issue and fix it in a single call out. I really can't recommend George and Thames boilers enough. Thanks again Gavin

How booking works
You book
Book online and your time is confirmed straight away. I work Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, and I'm not an emergency service. If it isn't a job for me, I'll say so and point you to someone who can help, rather than going quiet on you.
You'll know when I'm coming
You choose a start time when you book, not a morning or an afternoon. It is an estimate, because the job before yours can finish early or run on. When I set off to you, you get a text with a link that shows where I am, so you can see when I'll be at the door.
Combe Martin properties and what goes wrong in them
The village runs a long way down its valley to the sea, with older cottages and newer houses on the slopes above. Older cottages often have boilers that have been swapped once or twice onto the same pipework, which brings sludge and circulation faults. Newer houses are mostly combis, where diverter valves, fans and pressure sensors are the usual failures.
Holiday lets are common here. A boiler that has sat idle over the winter can stick when it's asked to work again.
First, is your boiler on mains gas?
Some houses in and around Combe Martin, especially the farms and cottages up the lanes, are off the gas network and run on oil or LPG. I work on mains-gas boilers only. I don't work on LPG boilers. For LPG, you need a Gas Safe engineer whose registration covers LPG work. For an oil boiler, look for an OFTEC-registered engineer.
If you have a gas meter and a gas bill, you're on mains gas and I can help.
What a repair visit looks like
1. Finding the fault
I read the fault history, test the part the code points at and check the gas supply and the flue.
2. A clear answer
I explain what has failed in plain words, and whether the boiler is worth repairing.
3. The parts price, then your go-ahead
The labour is a fixed £220 however long it takes. When a part is needed, I give you a fixed price for it and wait for your go-ahead. If you'd rather leave it, you only pay £105 for the visit.
4. Tested before I leave
Once it's fixed, I run the boiler on heating and hot water and check the fault log is clear.

Yes, along with Baxi, Ideal, Glow-worm, Potterton, Viessmann and most other mains-gas makes.
