9.923 Checkatrade reviewsBoiler faults we fix
Most breakdowns come down to a handful of common causes. We diagnose properly rather than guessing, so you are not paying for parts the boiler did not need.
- No hot water or no heating at all
- Boiler locking out or showing a fault code
- Losing pressure or needing constant topping up
- Pilot light or ignition failure
- Leaking from the boiler case or pipework
- Banging, gurgling or kettling noises
- Thermostat and timer faults
- Frozen condensate pipes in cold weather
Repair or replace? An honest answer
If a boiler is old, unreliable and needs an expensive part, throwing money at it rarely makes sense. If it has years left, a repair is the sensible choice. We give you both costs and our honest opinion, and we never pressure anyone into a new boiler.
If you do decide to replace it, we can quote for a new boiler installation with a free survey first.
Before you call, two quick checks
Look at the pressure gauge — if it is well below 1 bar, the system has lost water. Check the thermostat is switched on and calling for heat, and that the boiler has power and gas. In freezing weather, a blocked condensate pipe is a very common cause and often shows as a lockout code.
Note down whatever you find and tell us when you ring. It genuinely speeds up the repair.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you repair my boiler the same day?
In most cases yes. We hold common spares in the van and we keep space for breakdowns, so a straightforward fault is often fixed on the first visit.
Which boiler brands do you work on?
We repair all the major domestic brands, including Worcester Bosch, Vaillant and Ideal, on both gas and LPG systems.
My boiler is showing a fault code — is that useful?
Very. Tell us the make, model and code when you call and we can usually identify the likely part before we arrive, which saves a return visit.
Is it worth repairing an old boiler?
Sometimes, and sometimes not. We will tell you what the repair costs, how reliable the boiler is likely to be afterwards, and what a replacement would cost, then leave the decision to you.
My boiler keeps losing pressure — what causes that?
Usually a small leak somewhere on the system, a failed pressure relief valve or a tired expansion vessel. We trace the cause rather than just topping it up, so the problem does not keep coming back.
