A fault code or repeated lockout
Write down the exact code, including letters, numbers and any flashing symbols. Codes vary by model, and a code alone is not enough to identify a part that needs replacing. Repeated lockouts need investigation.

No heating? No hot water? We’re here to help.
From a boiler that won’t start to heating that keeps cutting out, we’ll investigate the fault and explain the repair options in plain English.

Understand the fault before deciding
A fault code is a useful starting point, but it does not always identify the failed part. We assess the appliance and system, explain what we find and give you the proposed cost before carrying out additional repair work.
Tell us the boiler make, model and displayed fault code when you enquire. If a part is needed, we will discuss availability and any return visit. Where a repair is not practical, we can quote for a suitable replacement without assuming a new boiler is the only answer.
Start with your needs
Tell us what your boiler is doing
Heating works, but hot water doesn’t
Let us know which taps are affected and whether the boiler reacts when a hot tap is opened. Different system types heat water differently, so knowing whether you have a cylinder helps us prepare.
Pressure changes, leaks or unusual noise
Describe what you have noticed and when it happens. Recurring pressure loss should be investigated rather than repeatedly topped up without finding the cause. Keep clear of wet electrical areas and do not remove the casing.
A clear scope
Know what you’re arranging.
A diagnostic appointment establishes the problem as far as reasonably possible within the agreed visit. The repair itself may need a separate quote or parts.
Your agreed visit or quotation
What we can include
- Review of reported symptoms
- Appliance and system fault finding
- Explanation of findings
- A proposed repair or follow-up plan
Discussed before proceeding
What may need a separate price
- Manufacturer-specific replacement parts
- Further investigation where needed
- Additional time or a return visit
- Replacing the appliance if separately agreed
Care in the details
Understand the work. Feel comfortable with the next step.
Make a note of any fault code, when the problem started and whether heating, hot water or both are affected. Do not remove the boiler casing or attempt work on gas components.
The appointment or quotation should identify the agreed work, access arrangements and any limitations. If the engineer finds something outside that scope, we explain the options and costs before additional work goes ahead.
From your first enquiry
What happens next.
A practical guide to the process, with details agreed for your property.
01
Tell us the symptoms
Include the make, model, fault code and whether hot water or heating is affected.
02
Investigate properly
The engineer checks the appliance and relevant parts of the system.
03
Compare the options
We discuss the fault, parts availability and whether repair is sensible.
04
Agree and complete
Further work goes ahead once its scope and cost have been approved.
A smoother appointment
A little preparation goes a long way.
Avoid a rushed replacement decision
A breakdown does not automatically mean you need a new boiler. An assessment can help you understand the realistic repair options.
Keep paperwork nearby
Existing warranty documents and previous repair information may be useful. If the boiler is under warranty, check the manufacturer’s repair route before authorising paid work.
Provide access to the wider system
The engineer may need to see controls, a cylinder or other heating components as well as the boiler. Tell us about locked rooms or communal areas.

Good to knowBoiler repairs FAQs
Useful details before you decide. If your question is more specific, our team is happy to help.
Can you repair my boiler brand?
We work on a range of domestic gas boilers. Send us the make and model so we can confirm suitability and parts availability.
Will you repair it on the first visit?
Some faults can be resolved during the initial visit; others need a specific part or additional investigation. We explain this as soon as we know.
Should I keep resetting the boiler?
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. If it repeatedly locks out, stop repeatedly resetting it and arrange a qualified engineer to investigate.
Can you tell me the failed part from a fault code?
A code helps focus the investigation, but several causes can produce similar symptoms. We do not recommend buying a replacement part before the fault has been assessed.
What if parts are no longer available?
We explain any availability problem and discuss practical options. Depending on the appliance’s condition, that might include an alternative approved repair or a replacement quotation.
Is it worth repairing an older boiler?
That depends on the fault, repair cost, overall condition and parts availability. We explain those factors so you can compare repair with a new installation.
Should I contact the manufacturer first?
If you have an active manufacturer’s warranty, check its claim procedure first. Unauthorised work or certain repair arrangements may affect the terms.
