Boiler Repairs

If you’ve got a problem with your central heating we’re here to help. Our qualified engineers have a wealth of experience and all the tools needed to identify and fix even the trickiest of problems. We will visit your property to assess any breakdown or repair and when possible carry out the work to rectify the problem on the initial visit (unless a specific part needs to be ordered for your boiler to be repaired) Most new boilers will show a fault code on the digital display of the boiler ensuring our engineers will have a good idea of what the problem is prior to arriving at the property.

Some common boiler problems are:

Hot water but no heating - This could be a fault or error with the settings on the thermostat or low boiler pressure, however it could also signal a broken diaphragm, airlock or motorised valve. For combination boilers it could also signal an issue with the diverter valve.

No hot water or heat - This could be a fault with power to the boiler, however if the boiler is receiving power this could include fuel not making its way into the property, the thermostat settings, low pressure or in cold weather the condensate pipe becoming frozen.

The boiler is leaking - The most common reason for a leak on your boiler is usually a broken internal component such as a pump seal or pressure valve. If the leak is coming from around the pipes or tank then it could be due to corrosion.

Noisy boiler - When your boiler is not working properly or efficiently it can cause it to make a variety of noises such as whistling, banging or rumbling. These can be caused by a number of issues such as lime scale or sludge build up on the heat exchanger, pipework or other internal components coming loose, an issue with the pump, the fan being obstructed or too much air in the pipes which prevents the water from circulating.

Low boiler pressure - Boiler pressure is a measurement of the pressure of the hot water passing through your central heating system. If the pressure drops too low then the central heating will fail to work. Common causes of a drop in pressure are a leak, radiators need bleeding or a faulty expansion vessel which is causing the pressure relief valve to open and allowing central heating water to be lost outside.

Radiators are cold - If your radiators are not heating up then there could be a build up of air or sludge in the system. A build up of sludge may require a chemical clean or flush (please see our section on power flushing) If only the bottom of your radiator is getting hot you may need to bleed the radiator or if certain radiators are not getting hot the system may need balancing.

Boiler keeps switching itself off - A boiler could be switching itself off for a variety of reasons such as low pressure, thermostat issues, a closed valve, the pump not circulating the water around the system properly or too much air in the system.
