Boilers work very hard to provide your home or business with heating and hot water. Boilers do break down from time to time.

One of our engineers can quickly diagnose any faults and replace the necessary parts to get your Boiler back up and running again.

If you’re experiencing problems with your Boiler, call us, and an engineer will advise you on what to do to prevent any damage from occurring.

We can then book a time to repair your Boiler if necessary. Never attempt to repair a Boiler yourself. You may cause more damage or create a dangerous problem. Always use qualified Gas Safe engineers.

Boilers We Repair Include Gas, Oil & LPG & More

We repair all types and makes of Boiler, which include combination, system and regular Boilers powered by gas, electricity or oil.

Common Boiler Issues

There are a number of issues that cause Boilers to run incorrectly or fail

• Frozen Pipes – We get called out to a lot of Boiler failures during winter. The number one cause is a frozen condensate pipe. A boiler won’t work without a clear pipe. Defrosting and insulation are the cure to prevent the same issue from happening again in the future.
• Low Pressure – Low pressure will stop a Boiler. Try repressurising your Boiler. This may be enough to get it working again. If the pressure still drops, a leak, blockage or failed pressure relief valve is the likely cause.
• Leaks – Worn or loose seals will allow water to escape, causing a leak and low pressure, which will make the boiler stop. Boilers feature pressure relief valves. Failed valves can cause leaks, which lead to low pressure and a Boiler that won’t switch on or stay on. Seals can be tightened, and valves can be replaced.
• Blockages – Blockages are usually caused by limescale (limescale occurs anywhere waters are heated or left stagnant). Limescale can restrict flow, leading to low pressure or block heat exchangers and pumps. All types of blockages can cause a Boiler to fail. Some are easier to remove than others; it depends on where the blockage is located within the system.
• Inadequate Gas – Boilers utilise a thermocouple to regulate the gas supply. If the thermocouple develops a fault, the gas flow is affected, and this will prevent the Boiler from running properly. A new thermocouple needs fitting.
• Thermostats – Sometimes the Boilers is fine, and a faulty thermostat is the culprit. A new thermostat is required.
