We diagnose the root cause (not the symptom), quote the repair in writing before starting, and stand behind the work for 12 months. Who it's for Homeowners with a boiler that has locked out, landlords whose tenant has reported no hot water, anyone living with cold radiators or banging pipes, and households with creeping bills who suspect the system is dirty or unbalanced. When you need it The moment your heating doesn't behave: no heat, no hot water, low pressure, leaking radiators, gurgling pipes, lockout codes, smell of gas (call the gas emergency line first, then us), or a single room that won't warm up. Why professional matters Most boiler 'breakdowns' are actually system faults — sludge, air, low pressure, blocked condensate, or failed external components. Swapping the boiler doesn't fix any of them. A real heating engineer diagnoses the system, not just the box on the wall. What it costs to delay ## The real consequences of putting it off A heating fault you ignore today becomes a much more expensive fault next week: ### Frozen condensate becomes burst pipe A blocked external condensate pipe in a frost shuts the boiler down. Ignored for days it can lead to internal flooding when the trap finally thaws and dumps. ### Sludge kills heat exchangers Magnetite in the system causes hot spots that crack heat exchangers — a £900 part on most modern combis. Catching it early with a power-flush is £450 well spent. ### Leaks rot floors and ceilings A pin-hole leak under a wood floor doesn't show until the floor cups. By then you're looking at flooring, joist repair and decorating. ### Carbon monoxide drift A boiler running rich (poor combustion) leaks CO into the room. A 30-minute combustion test catches it before it harms anyone. ### Voided warranty DIY repairs, undocumented replacements and missed services void manufacturer warranties. Future repairs come out of your pocket. ### Common mistakes we fix Topping up pressure repeatedlyIf the gauge keeps dropping, you have a leak — somewhere. Topping up only hides it. We pressure-test, dye-trace and locate it. Bleeding the same radiator monthlyAir shouldn't keep returning. If it does, there's either a leak drawing air in or a corroding system generating hydrogen — both need attention. Ignoring fault codesLockout codes mean the boiler has self-protected. Resetting repeatedly stresses the PCB and the user. Look it up — or call us. Our Process ## A predictable, engineered process - STEP 01 ### Phone triage We ask the right questions on the phone — pressure, fault code, age of system, recent works — and bring the likely parts in the van. - STEP 02 ### On-site diagnosis Visual, electrical, gas pressure and combustion tests. We tell you what's wrong, what caused it, and what it'll cost to fix — in writing. - STEP 03 ### Approved repair You approve the quote. We carry common parts on the van (PCBs, diverter valves, expansion vessels, pumps, thermistors, fans) so most jobs are fixed same visit. - STEP 04 ### Test and re-test Full system test after repair: pressure stable, combustion within spec, hot water at temperature, all radiators heating. Nothing left to chance. - STEP 05 ### Prevent recurrence We tell you the underlying cause and what to do to stop it happening again — power-flush, inhibitor top-up, magnetic filter, controls upgrade. Honest advice, no upsell. Why it pays off ## Outcomes you can measure ### No diagnostic fee on completed repairs If we diagnose and you authorise the repair, the diagnostic is included. You only pay the diagnostic fee if you decide not to proceed. ### Common parts carried in the van PCBs, fans, diverter valves, pumps, expansion vessels, thermistors, sensors, pressure gauges — most repairs are completed in the first visit. ### 12-month workmanship guarantee Every repair is guaranteed for 12 months from the date of work. We come back if it recurs. ### Plain-English explanations We tell you what went wrong, why, and what to do to prevent it. No jargon, no scare tactics. ### Brand-agnostic expertise Worcester, Vaillant, Ideal, Baxi, Glow-worm, Potterton, Viessmann, Alpha, Ferroli — we repair every common UK boiler brand. ### Honest 'replace vs repair' If your boiler is genuinely beyond economic repair we'll tell you, with the numbers behind the recommendation. If a £150 part will give you three more winters, we say that too. The Engineering Detail ## Under the bonnet Diagnosis is the difference between a £180 fix and a £900 mistake. Here's the engineering depth behind our diagnostics: ### No-heat diagnostics We systematically eliminate: external (condensate, gas supply, electrical), then control (thermostat, programmer, wiring centre), then boiler (PCB, fan, gas valve, sensors). Every test logged so we never repeat steps. ### Low pressure / pressure loss Differentiating system leak vs PRV discharge vs expansion vessel failure. Pressure-test methodology: charge to 1.5 bar, isolate, monitor decay rate, infer leak rate, locate via inspection, infra-red and dye trace. ### Power-flushing On systems showing magnetite, cold spots, slow warm-up or boiler hot-exchanger lockouts. Our process: chemical pre-treat (24h), high-flow flush rig per circuit, reverse-flow per radiator, neutraliser, full system inhibitor refill, magnetic filter fit. ### Leak detection Visual + thermal imaging + acoustic + tracer dye. We find leaks under floors, in walls and under tiled bathrooms without lifting half the house. ### Radiator balancing Cold-at-top = air; cold-at-bottom = sludge; one cold radiator = balance/flow issue. We measure flow temperatures and adjust lockshields to even out room temperatures across the house. ### Controls upgrades Replacing a 1980s mechanical timer with a modulating smart thermostat (Worcester Wave, Vaillant SensoComfort, Honeywell T6) typically saves 10–15% gas and unlocks weather compensation. ### When to replace, not repair Boilers older than 12 years, parts no longer made, repeat lockouts despite repair, or a single repair quote over 50% of replacement cost. We give you the numbers, you choose.
