Looking for fixed price boiler repairs in Jarrow? A same-day or next-day visit is available wherever possible, and our repair guarantee covers every repair. Common jobs include boilers that won't fire, leaks and loss of pressure.
Our engineers repair every common type of boiler, including combi, gas and electric. You can book a visit online at a time that suits you. Your engineer arrives, checks the boiler and tracks down the fault. They repair the fault and test the boiler before they go. They'll also show you how to check the pressure yourself.
If your boiler has a display, note any code it shows before the visit.
Most boilers run at a pressure between 1 and 1.5 bar. If the gauge drops below 1 bar, the boiler may stop working. You can usually top it up using the filling loop, as your manual explains.
If the pressure keeps falling, water is escaping somewhere. It could be a radiator valve, a joint in the pipework or a part inside the boiler. If the fault won't clear, leave the casing on and let a boiler engineer in Jarrow take a look.
Look for drips under the boiler, damp patches or rust marks on pipes. A leak doesn't always show, so a boiler that needs topping up every few days usually has one. Small leaks are easier to fix when they are found early.
Bleeding a radiator also lowers the pressure. Check the gauge after you bleed each one. If it has dropped, top the system back up.
Pressure that is too high can cause problems too. If the needle sits in the red zone, turn the boiler off and get it checked. The pressure relief valve may also let water out through a small pipe outside.
After a top-up, keep an eye on the gauge for a few days. If it stays steady, the cause may have been air in the radiators. If it falls again, there is likely to be a leak.
A quick look at the pressure gauge is a good first step for most faults. If the reading is normal, the cause is likely to be elsewhere.

Yes, we do. Alongside repairs, we offer boiler servicing in Jarrow. A yearly service checks the controls, the flame and the gas pressure, and looks for leaks and corrosion. It helps catch small faults before they turn into a breakdown. Your engineer also fills in the boiler booklet for your warranty.
They are, every one. Gas Safe registration is required by law for gas work, and all our engineers hold it. Each one is fully trained and DBS-checked before they visit customers. If you are not Gas Safe registered yourself, please leave the boiler casing closed and let our engineer do the repair.
Ring 0800 111 999, the free National Gas Emergency line, at once. Put out any flames and don't smoke. Turn the gas off at the meter if it's safe to do so, and open the windows. Then get everyone out of the property and wait for help to arrive.
Thaw the pipe with warm water, then restart the boiler. Pour slowly along the frozen part until the ice clears. Avoid boiling water, which can damage the pipe. In a long cold spell, keeping the heating on low can stop it freezing again. Our engineers can fit lagging if needed.
