A condensing boiler drains waste water through a plastic pipe that runs outside. In freezing weather, the water in that pipe can turn to ice. The boiler then stops and may show a fault code or make a gurgling sound.
You can usually thaw the pipe yourself. Pour warm water, not boiling water, slowly along the frozen part. Then reset the boiler as your manual shows. If you're not sure what's wrong, a boiler engineer in Wallsend can check it for you.
If the pipe freezes in every cold spell, the way it was fitted may be the cause. A pipe that is too narrow, or runs a long way outside, freezes more easily. Lagging or rerouting the pipe can stop it happening again.
During a very cold spell, keeping the heating on low can help. It keeps a little warm water moving through the pipe. It also helps to know where your condensate pipe runs, so you can find it quickly.
A frozen pipe is not the only cold-weather fault. Pumps, valves and thermostats all work harder when it's cold outside. If your heating struggles in winter, it's worth having it checked before it stops.
Signs of a frozen pipe include a gurgling sound from the boiler and a fault code on the display. Some boilers show a flashing light instead. If you can see ice on the pipe outside, it has frozen.
Never take the boiler casing off yourself. The parts inside should only be handled by a Gas Safe engineer. If you smell gas, don't use the boiler, and phone National Gas Emergency on 0800 111 999.

Here are answers to common questions about boiler repairs in Wallsend. See our boiler FAQ page for other topics.
The time varies with the fault and the parts needed. Simple faults are often put right fairly quickly. A repair that needs a new part, such as a pump or a fan, can take longer. Your engineer gives you an idea of the timing once they've found the cause.
It tells you which part of the boiler has a problem. A code might point to low pressure, a failed ignition or a blocked condensate pipe. Check your manual for the meaning. If a single reset doesn't clear it, the boiler needs a repair rather than more resets.
Repairing is usually the better choice. Most faults can be put right for much less than the cost of a new boiler. If your boiler is very old, parts may be harder to find. Your engineer will tell you this before starting, so you can decide with all the facts.
Quite often, yes. We aim to get an engineer to you the same day or next day wherever possible. The sooner you book, the more dates you'll have to choose from. Our online booking shows each available day, so you can plan the visit around your work and family.
Water is getting out of the system somewhere. It could be a leaking joint, a radiator valve or the pressure relief valve. Look for damp patches and rust marks. If the gauge keeps dropping below 1 bar after a top-up, our engineers can trace the leak and repair it.
