Boiler repairs and servicing for homes that can't go without heating
A boiler rarely fails without warning. It usually gives hints first: a pressure gauge that keeps dropping, a new rattle, or hot water that takes longer to arrive. We repair faults on gas boilers and carry out annual services that catch problems before they become a cold-house emergency.
This service suits homeowners with a boiler that has stopped or is misbehaving. It also suits anyone who can't remember their last service and landlords who need their appliances kept safe and in good order. Most makes and types are covered, including combi, system and regular boilers.
These are the signs that your boiler needs attention:
If you ever smell gas, switch off the supply at the meter if it's safe to do so, open windows and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999. Don't wait for an appointment. For anything else, leave the casing on. Gas appliance work is for a Gas Safe registered engineer only.
- No heating or hot water, or the boiler locking out
- Pressure that keeps falling and needs topping up
- Banging, whistling or 'kettling' noises from the heat exchanger
- Radiators with cold patches, or a flame that looks yellow or lazy
- Water dripping from the boiler or pipework underneath it
- The pilot or ignition failing, or an error code appearing
- A condensate pipe that freezes in cold weather
- No service record in the last 12 months
What your engineer checks, fixes and tells you
Every job starts with working out what is actually wrong, or what is starting to wear, rather than swapping parts and hoping.
A full annual service
The engineer inspects the burner, heat exchanger, seals, fan, pump and condensate trap. They clean what needs cleaning, check the flue and test the safety devices. They also run a flue gas analyser reading, which shows how cleanly the boiler is burning.
Fault-finding and repair
We trace the cause of lockouts, ignition faults, pressure loss, noisy pumps, faulty diverter valves and leaks. You get a clear explanation of the fault and the cost of putting it right before any parts are fitted.
An honest repair-or-replace view
Sometimes a repair isn't worth it, for example when an older boiler needs a hard-to-find part or keeps breaking down. If so, we'll say so, and you can decide with the facts in front of you.
Safety checks that matter
Ventilation, flue condition, gas tightness and the state of the surrounding pipework are all looked at. We'll also remind you about a carbon monoxide alarm if you don't have a working one.

Inspection and diagnosis
The engineer checks the boiler, flue and controls, tests the pressure and safety devices, and finds the real cause of the fault. For a service, they work through the full inspection list.

Boiler servicing and repair questions, answered
How often should a gas boiler be serviced?
Once a year is the standard advice from boiler manufacturers. An annual service keeps the boiler running efficiently, helps spot developing faults and checks the safety devices. It also gives you a dated record of its upkeep.
Do I need a service to keep my boiler warranty valid?
Many manufacturer warranties require an annual service by a suitably qualified engineer, but the terms differ between brands. Check your warranty paperwork, and keep the record we give you after each visit.
What's the difference between a boiler service and a repair?
A service is a planned inspection and clean that aims to prevent faults. A repair fixes something that has already gone wrong, such as a lockout, a leak or a failed part. If the engineer finds a fault during a service, we'll quote for the repair separately.
What affects the cost of a boiler repair?
The type and age of the boiler, the fault itself, and whether the part is easily available all play a part. Labour time and how easy it is to reach the boiler also count. We give you a free quote once the fault is diagnosed, so there are no surprises.
Should I repair or replace my boiler?
If the fault is minor and the parts are easy to get, repair usually makes sense. If the boiler is old, keeps breaking down or needs an expensive part, replacement can be better value. We'll give you our honest opinion and the figures, and the decision is yours.
What can I do to help between services?
Check the pressure gauge now and then, and keep the area around the boiler clear. Bleed radiators if they have cold spots at the top. Make sure you have a working carbon monoxide alarm, and call us if you notice any new noises, smells or error codes.
