We'll repair your boiler. We won't sell you one you don't need.

Most boiler breakdowns are caused by a worn part, faulty valve, pressure issue or control fault. We'll diagnose the issue first and only recommend a new boiler if repair genuinely is not the right option.

Boiler trouble?

What's going on with your boiler

Whatever it's doing, it rarely gets better on its own. Here's what we see most, and what usually causes it.

No heat or hot water

Cold radiators or no hot water at the worst possible time, the most common reason people call us out.

Error code or won't fire up

A fault code on the display, or the boiler clicks but won't ignite and light the burner.

Banging, kettling or gurgling

Loud bangs, whistling or gurgling noises usually point to trapped air, sludge or a failing part.

Leaking or losing pressure

Water pooling under the boiler, or the pressure gauge dropping and needing a daily top-up.

Faulty valve or part

A worn diverter valve, pressure relief valve or other component is one of the most common causes, and usually quick to put right.

Low or lost pressure

A drop in system pressure, often from a small leak or a bled radiator, can stop the boiler firing. Frequently a simple fix.

Thermostat or controls fault

A failing thermostat, timer or PCB can leave you with no heat even when the boiler itself is fine.

Sludge, air or a stuck pump

Trapped air, a build-up of sludge or a seized pump causes banging, cold radiators and lockouts. Often cleared on the day.

Emergency boiler repair FAQs

How fast can you come out?
We're rarely more than an hour away across North, Inner & East London, and we offer same-day repairs. Call us and we'll give you a realistic arrival time and talk you through anything you can check while you wait.
How much does an emergency boiler repair cost?
It depends on the fault, but many common repairs are at the more affordable end. The important part: you get a fixed price upfront before we start, with no call-out fee and no added ULEZ fees, so there are no surprises on the bill.
Will I need a new boiler, or can it be repaired?
In most cases a breakdown is a repair, not a replacement. We're repair-first: we only ever recommend a new boiler if yours genuinely can't be fixed safely or economically, and we'll explain exactly why. No pressure-selling, no scaremongering.
Is a broken boiler an emergency, or can it wait?
If you have no heat or hot water, especially in winter or with children or older people in the home, treat it as urgent and call us. We're available 24/7, 365 days a year and rarely more than an hour away. If you ever smell gas (a rotten-egg smell), that's a genuine emergency: don't touch switches, open windows, leave the property and call us and 0800 111 999 straight away.
Do you repair all makes of boiler?
Yes. Our Gas Safe engineers repair all major makes, including Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Baxi, Ideal and Bosch, plus combi, system and conventional boilers. If you're not sure of the make, just tell us what it's doing and we'll help.
Do you cover my area?
We cover North, Inner & East London, including Camden, Islington, Hackney, Hampstead, Kensington & Chelsea, Stratford, East Ham and the surrounding boroughs. Not sure if we reach you? Just call and we'll tell you straight away.
Is a broken boiler dangerous? What if I smell gas?
A water leak or fault isn't usually an immediate danger, but it shouldn't be ignored. A smell of gas is different and must be treated as an emergency: don't touch any electrical switches, open windows, turn off the gas at the meter if you safely can, leave the property and call us and the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999.
