What is a reasonable time to fix a boiler?

Repairs to the boiler, especially in cases of a loss of heating, hot water or gas supply, should be fixed within 24 hours to be considered a reasonable time. This is the case for both private landlords and councils/housing associations, with the latter having a set timeframe for repairs under the Right to Repair scheme.

Is it worth repairing an old boiler?

Given the cost of repairs, age and warranty coverage, if your boiler is old or out of warranty, it might be more practical to consider replacing it rather than repairing it. Replacing an old boiler can be a cost-effective solution, as it can save you money in the long run. Newer models are more efficient and can help reduce your energy bills. Additionally, they come with warranties that can provide peace of mind.

Is it better to repair or replace a boiler?

If your boiler regularly has issues and it is expensive to replace obsolete parts, it may be more economical to replace the boiler than to continue to repair it.

What are the benefits of scheduled boiler maintenance?

Scheduled boiler maintenance can ensure energy efficiency, reduce energy costs, prevent unexpected failures, and extend the life of the boiler, providing numerous benefits.

Heating & Boiler Issues Wan Can Fix

A faulty boiler can disrupt your daily life, especially during colder months. Here are the most common signs that your boiler may need professional attention:

No Heating or Hot Water

If your boiler isn’t providing heating or hot water, it could be due to a broken diaphragm, faulty thermostat, or low pressure. This is a clear sign that your boiler needs urgent repairs.

Strange Noises

Unusual sounds like banging, whistling, or gurgling may indicate air in the system, limescale build-up, or a failing pump. These noises shouldn’t be ignored, as they can lead to bigger issues.

Leaks or Dripping Water

Leaks can result from a broken pressure valve, corroded components, or poor installation. A leaking boiler not only wastes water but can also damage your property.

Low Boiler Pressure

If the pressure gauge is below 1 bar, your boiler may struggle to heat your home. This could be caused by a leak, a faulty pressure relief valve, or trapped air in the system.

Pilot Light Problems

A pilot light that keeps going out could be due to a faulty thermocouple, gas valve issues, or debris build-up. Without it, your boiler won’t function properly.

Radiators Not Heating Properly

Cold spots on radiators or radiators that don’t heat up could mean air is trapped in the system, or there’s a build-up of sludge. A power flush may be needed to restore efficiency.

Frequent Shutdowns

If your boiler keeps turning off unexpectedly, it could be due to overheating, low pressure, or a blocked condensate pipe. Frequent shutdowns often signal a deeper issue.

First impressions when phoning Homecure Plumbers are always good. The people answering the phone are extremely pleasant, knowledgeable and remember you as a customer.

I have used Josh twice. The first time he came, he was incredibly helpful trying to sort out a major water mains leak and joining me in the conversations I had with several third party organisations to sort matters out.

The second time I chose Josh because he knew and understood the "history" of the flat. The work involved servicing the boiler, ensuring that the entire system worked and carrying out some work on the kitchen sink waste. He appreciated that it was not worthwhile doing large amounts of cosmetic plumbing repairs, since the flat was going to be sold and completely refurbished.

I would thoroughly recommend Homecure.
