Boiler Service & Repairs Framlingham

Boiler Servicing

Boiler servicing is performed according to the manufacturer’s guidelines and the model of your Boiler.

1. We’ll send an engineer who is Gas Safe Registered to your home at the agreed date and time. You can be sure you’re using a qualified, legal, and insured professional with a Gas Safe ID.
2. It’s time to remove the boiler casing and inspect it. The presence of water, condensation or corrosion indicates a leak inside the Boiler. The cause of any suspected leak is investigated and rectified.
3. A thorough inspection and tightening of all seals are performed, as leaks can occur and cause damage when seals are loose.
4. There is a thorough cleaning of the Boiler’s working components. A clean boiler runs more efficiently and effectively. Clean boilers are also easier to test than those that are dirty.
5. The testing process begins. The first thing we’ll do is check the flow and pressure of the water. Pressure is adjusted as needed and monitored. If pressure drops, there is a blockage or fault with the pump.
6. We test all internal safety devices. In the event that the Boiler suddenly stops, these devices prevent damage to internal components.
7. The engineer verifies the gas is burning at the correct rate per hour. The burner pressures tested and adjusted as needed.
8. An oxygen, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide detector is placed inside the flue to ensure the Boiler operates safely and efficiently.
9. The ventilation of your Boiler needs to be checked to ensure it is getting enough air to run smoothly and to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
10. The engineer ensures excess gases are expelled from the flue while heat is retained.
11. There is a check and test conducted on the Boiler and pipework to make sure that there’s no leaking gas.
12. An inspection of the condensate pipe gets too low, it might freeze, and your Boiler will not function.
13. Once the service has been completed, the boilers will be switched on, and the radiators will be checked.
14. The service is complete as soon as the engineers are satisfied your Boiler’s running properly and your radiators are heating up properly. A service record’s written for you. Insurance and warranties on boilers require this document.

Following the Boiler service, you can rest assured your Boiler is clean, safe and running at optimal efficiency.

Our engineers are experienced in diagnosing and repairing faults as quickly as possible.

We offer fair rates for repair services and do not charge call-out fees.

The most common boiler problems

Faulty boilers should never be run. Along with the additional risk of causing more damage, you might also incur more expenses.

Incorrect Pressure

For a boiler to operate continuously, it needs a certain level of pressure. If this level is too low, the Boiler will stop. So, to begin with, the Boiler must be re-pressurised, and the pressure monitored.

A steady pressure indicates that the Boiler only requires repressuring. However, you may have a leak or a blockage if the pressure continues to drop.

Blockages In Pipes

It is typical for boilers and central heating systems to produce limescale, which can accumulate in pipes and heat exchangers.

The heat exchanger has a significant blockage if your Boiler is whistling like a kettle. Be sure to fix this issue before the heat exchanger breaks. It will be expensive.

Limescale can also lodge in pipes and pumps, preventing full flow and pressure. Manually removing these blockages or using Powerflushing will be necessary. Parts that are blocked sometimes need to be replaced.

Pump Failure

Boilers use pumps to circulate water. A faulty pump or a clogged pipe will cause your Boiler not to run. We unblock or replace faulty pumps.

Water leaks

There are several places inside the Boiler where leaks can occur. In most cases, leaks are caused by worn or loose seals or faulty valves.

Either can be replaced or tightened to stop the leak and restore the correct pressure.

As a result of corrosion, other components, such as pipes or heat exchangers, can leak. This situation warrants a replacement of the parts.

Thermocouple Failure

A thermocouple is a safety device that controls gas volume entering the Boiler based on the temperature. In the event of a blown pilot light, the thermocouple cuts off the gas supply.

In the case of a faulty thermocouple, the gas will be continuously cut off, preventing the Boiler from working. Your Boiler will be restored to full operation after a quick thermocouple replacement.

Frozen Condensate Pipe

Condensing boilers remove wastewater via a condensate pipe, which, when uninsulated, can freeze in cold temperatures. Unfortunately, there will be no way for your Boiler to remove water so that it won’t work. By defrosting and insulating the pipe, an engineer can ensure that your Boiler runs again, and you won’t have to deal with the same problems again.
