Gas Boiler Breakdowns & Repairs

If your gas boiler breaks down, the first thing you should do is check the following:

• Is the boiler switched on and set to the correct settings?

• Is the gas supply to the boiler turned on?

• Is the pilot light lit (if your boiler has one)?

• Are there any error codes displayed on the boiler control panel?

• Check the pressure gauge; your boiler pressure should be between 1 and 1.5 bar.

If you've checked these basic troubleshooting steps and your boiler is still not working, contact our team for assistance. We offer 24/7 emergency call-out services for boiler breakdowns.

Common causes of gas boiler breakdowns include:

• Frozen condensate pipe

• Low boiler pressure

• Faulty thermostat

• Pump failure

• Airlocks in the system

• Lack of regular servicing

Gas appliances can be dangerous if not handled correctly. It's crucial to have any gas boiler repairs carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. They possess the necessary qualifications and expertise to work safely and competently on gas appliances.

The cost of a repair can vary depending on the nature of the fault, the parts required, and the labour involved. We provide transparent pricing and will always provide a quotation before carrying out any repairs.

If your boiler is leaking, turn off the water supply to the boiler and the gas supply to the boiler. Place a container to collect the leaking water and contact our team for emergency assistance.

Regular servicing by a qualified engineer is the best way to prevent future boiler breakdowns. Annual servicing helps identify and address potential issues before they escalate into major problems.
