Common Emergency Boiler Problems
Don't panic. Most boiler breakdowns are caused by one of these common issues — and we can fix them fast.
No Heating or Hot Water
The most common emergency call. Could be a failed pump, motorised valve, thermostat issue, airlock, or low pressure. We diagnose and fix it — usually in one visit.
Boiler Pressure Loss
If your pressure gauge keeps dropping to zero, there's likely a leak in the system or a faulty pressure relief valve. We locate the leak, repair it, and repressurise the system.
Frozen Condensate Pipe
In cold weather, the condensate pipe outside can freeze and block, causing the boiler to shut down. We thaw it safely and advise on lagging to prevent it happening again.
Pilot Light Won't Stay Lit
A pilot light that keeps going out indicates a problem with the thermocouple, gas supply or flue. Not something to ignore — it needs a Gas Safe engineer to diagnose.
Banging or Gurgling Noises
Kettling — a loud banging noise — is caused by limescale or sludge restricting water flow in the heat exchanger. It can permanently damage the boiler if not addressed.
Boiler Keeps Switching Off
Short-cycling (turning on and off rapidly) wastes gas and strains components. Usually caused by a faulty thermostat, pump problem, or circulation blockage.
Error Codes on Display
Modern boilers show fault codes when something's wrong. We know the codes for all major brands and can often tell what's needed before we arrive — saving time.
Leaking Boiler
Water leaking from your boiler is serious. It could be a failed pump seal, heat exchanger crack, or corroded pipe. We fix the leak and check for associated damage.
Radiators Cold at the Bottom
Sludge accumulation in radiators blocks circulation. A power flush clears the whole system and gets heat flowing properly again.
All Boiler Makes & Models
We repair all major boiler brands — combi, system and conventional. With extensive experience across the full range of UK boilers, we can diagnose and fix most faults in a single visit.
Before You Call — Quick Checks
Sometimes the fix is simpler than you think. Try these before calling — it might save you a callout.
- 1
Check your boiler pressure gauge. It should be between 1 and 1.5 bar when cold. If it's below 1, try repressurising via the filling loop (check your manual for instructions).
- 2
Is the thermostat turned up? Set it to max and see if the boiler fires. If the room stat batteries are flat, the boiler won't know to come on.
- 3
Check your fuse box. Has the boiler's circuit tripped? If resetting it works but it trips again, there's an electrical fault — call us.
- 4
Is the condensate pipe frozen? If it's below zero outside and the pipe from your boiler goes to an external wall, pour warm (not boiling) water over the external pipe.
- 5
Still no luck? Call us now. We're available 24/7 and will talk you through things before we even leave — sometimes we can fix it over the phone.

"Called on a Sunday morning with no heating. Jake arrived within an hour and had it fixed by lunchtime. Absolute lifesaver. Fair price too. Wouldn't use anyone else now."
