Boiler Repairs

Boilers are indispensable appliances in our homes, providing heat and hot water on demand. They are an essential part of our daily lives, especially during the cold winter months so keeping them in tip-top condition is a priority. However, when your boiler is faulty or it suddenly breaks down, it can cause no end of stress and having access to reliable and local gas-safe registered engineers who can be with you at a drop of a hat is invaluable.

Ongoing maintenance can prevent unforeseen breakdowns, prolong the life of your boiler, enhance efficiency, and ensure the safety of your home. An inefficient boiler can lead to increased energy costs and even potential health and safety hazards.

Our heating engineers can advise you whether your boiler needs a one off repair or if it's beyond economical repair.

Boiler Maintenance Services

Regular boiler maintenance not only ensures optimal performance but also helps to prevent unexpected breakdowns. An annual service can save you significant money on costly future repairs and replacements.

Our boiler maintenance services include regular inspections, cleaning, and adjustments to ensure your boiler operates at its best. We focus on preventive measures to catch potential issues before they become major problems. Here’s what you can typically expect a boiler maintenance service to include:

  1. Inspection: A detailed examination of the boiler and its components, such as the heat exchanger, burner, and other vital parts, to check for any signs of wear, tear, or damage.
  2. Cleaning: The boiler, particularly the heat exchanger, burner, and other crucial components, will be cleaned to remove any debris, dust, or soot that could impact efficiency.
  3. Efficiency Test: A performance test to measure the boiler’s efficiency. If the boiler isn’t operating at its maximum efficiency, the engineer will make the necessary adjustments.
  4. Safety Check: A comprehensive safety inspection to detect any potential risks or hazards. This includes checking the boiler’s pressure levels, looking for any leaks, and inspecting the ventilation system.
  5. Flue Test: A flue gas analysis to ensure that the boiler isn’t emitting any dangerous gases or pollutants.
  6. Controls Check: A thorough check of the boiler’s controls to ensure they are functioning properly. This includes the thermostat, pressure controls, safety valves, and timers.
  7. Lubrication: Any moving parts within the boiler system will be lubricated to ensure smooth operation and to prevent wear and tear.
  8. Seals Inspection: Checking the integrity of all seals, and replacing any that are worn out or damaged.
  9. Report and Advice: Once the maintenance check is complete, the engineer will typically provide a detailed report of their findings and offer advice on how to maximize your boiler’s efficiency and lifespan.

Signs That Your Boiler Needs Repair

Boilers are the beating heart of your heating system and they are complex machines that can develop issues over time. Here are some common signs that your boiler might need a repair and it’s time to call in the professionals:

  1. Inconsistent Heating: If your boiler is not providing a consistent level of heat, or if there are cold spots in your home, it could indicate a problem with the boiler’s circulation system.
  2. Strange Noises: Boilers usually operate quietly. If you start hearing unusual sounds like banging, gurgling, or whistling, it might mean there’s an issue with your boiler. This could range from low water pressure to a faulty pump or even air in the system.
  3. Frequent Cycling: If your boiler keeps turning on and off frequently without adequately heating your home, this is a sign of a potential problem. It could be due to low water pressure, a thermostat issue, or a pump failure.
  4. Leaks: Any signs of leaks or drips coming from your boiler are a clear signal that you need to get it checked. Leaks can lead to rust, corrosion, or structural damage.
  5. Increased Energy Bills: If your energy bills are climbing but your usage hasn’t significantly changed, your boiler may not be functioning efficiently. This can occur due to various issues like a faulty thermostat or the boiler’s age.
  6. Pilot Light Changes: If your boiler’s pilot light is burning a yellow or orange flame instead of blue, or if it keeps going out, this could indicate a problem.
  7. The Smell of Gas or Carbon Monoxide: This is a serious safety risk and requires immediate attention. If you notice a strange smell around your boiler, turn it off, open windows for ventilation, and call professionals right away.

Remember, regular maintenance can help you spot these signs early and prevent potential breakdowns. Don’t ignore these signs as minor issues can quickly turn into major ones, resulting in costly repairs or even a replacement boiler.

Our approved engineers will identify the issues and advise you of initial repair procedures and costs.

What to Do If Your Boiler Breaks Down

If your boiler breaks down, there are a few things you can do:

  1. Don’t panic: This is easier said than done, especially if it’s the middle of winter, but try not to panic. There are several reasons why your boiler might have stopped working, and some of them are simple enough to resolve without the need for professional help.
  2. Check the boiler’s error codes. Many boilers have an error code display that can tell you what is wrong with the boiler.
  3. Try to reset the boiler. Sometimes, a simple reset can fix the problem.
  4. If you can’t fix the problem yourself, call a qualified engineer.
