Frequently Asked Questions About Boiler Repairs

How can I tell if my boiler needs a repair?

Common warning signs include unusual noises (particularly banging or whistling), inconsistent heating, or your boiler repeatedly switching itself off. If you notice any of these symptoms, it's best to get professional help before the problem worsens.

My boiler has stopped working completely - what should I do?

First, check your gas supply, consumer unit (fuse box), and thermostat settings. If everything appears normal but your boiler still isn't working, contact us for an emergency callout - trying to fix it yourself could be dangerous and may invalidate your warranty.

Will you need to drain my system to repair the boiler?

This depends entirely on the type of repair needed. If we need to replace certain components or address issues within the system, draining may be necessary. We'll always explain what's required before starting any work.

Can you repair any type of boiler?

We repair all major domestic boiler types including combi, system, and conventional boilers. Our engineers regularly update their training to work with both older models and the latest heating technology.

How long does a typical repair take?

Most common repairs can be completed within 1-2 hours once we've diagnosed the problem. However, if we need to order special parts or undertake more complex repairs, it may take longer. We'll give you a time estimate before starting work.

What happens if a part needs replacing?

We carry many common parts in our vans, allowing us to complete most repairs in one visit. If we need to order a specific part, we'll secure your system and arrange a convenient time to return and complete the repair.

Is it worth repairing my old boiler or should I replace it?

If your boiler is under 10 years old and this is its first major repair, fixing it is usually the most cost-effective method. However, if repairs are becoming frequent or parts are hard to source, we'll provide honest advice about replacement options.

Why has my boiler pressure dropped and can it be fixed?

Pressure drops can occur due to leaks, bleeding radiators, or system issues. While repressurising is sometimes a simple fix, frequent pressure loss often indicates an underlying problem that needs professional attention.

Can you help if my boiler is leaking water?

Yes, but please call us immediately if you notice a leak. In the meantime, turn off your water supply to the boiler if you can safely do so. Leaks can indicate several different issues, from simple seal failures to more serious problems.

Contact us today if you have any other questions about boiler repairs or would like to schedule a service visit.
