Common Boiler Emergencies We Fix
Our experienced engineers are equipped to handle all types of boiler emergencies, including:
- No heating or hot water – Often caused by thermostat issues, broken diaphragms, or airlock problems
- Boiler leaks – Can stem from damaged seals, corrosion, or pressure problems
- Strange noises – Kettling, banging, or whistling sounds typically indicate limescale buildup or pump issues
- Pilot light issues – Frequent extinguishing or failure to ignite often points to thermocouple problems
- Loss of pressure – Usually results from leaks in the system or bleeding radiators without repressurizing
- Frozen condensate pipes – Common in winter and causes automatic system shutdown
We have the expertise to fix these issues promptly, regardless of boiler type or brand.
