If your boiler has stopped working, we offer boiler repairs in Hitchin at a fixed price. Wherever possible, we visit the same day or the next day, and our repair guarantee comes as standard. Our engineers fix ignition faults, pressure problems, leaks and noisy boilers.
Our engineers can repair any combi, gas or electric boiler. Booking takes a few minutes online, and you choose the date. On the day, your engineer tests the boiler and finds the cause of the fault. Any faulty parts are replaced, and the boiler is tested before they leave. When the work is done, they explain it and answer any questions.
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. Our Gas Safe engineer in Hitchin will check the whole system, not just the boiler.
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.
Write down the make and model of your boiler before the visit. You'll usually find them on a label on the front or underneath. If you think you can smell gas, turn the gas off at the meter if you can and phone 0800 111 999.

Below, we answer five common questions about boiler repairs in Hitchin. Our full boiler FAQ page goes into more detail.
It depends on what needs fixing. Some repairs, such as topping up the pressure or replacing a sensor, are quick. Others take longer, for example when a larger part needs fitting. Your engineer will tell you how long the work should take before they start, so you can plan your day.
Each code stands for a different fault. The meaning varies by make, so check the list in your manual or our error codes guide. Some codes just need the pressure topped up. If the code won't clear, or keeps coming back, a Gas Safe engineer should look at it.
Yes, always. Our boiler repairs are only carried out by Gas Safe registered engineers. They are trained to work on combi, gas and electric boilers, and they are DBS-checked too. For your safety, only a registered engineer should take the casing off a gas boiler or repair the parts inside.
Pour warm water over it until the ice melts, then reset the boiler. Check the whole outside length of the pipe, as ice can form in more than one place. If the boiler still won't restart, there may be another fault. Our engineers can find it and put it right.
Yes. Our repair guarantee comes with every job, whatever the fault or the make of boiler. You don't pay anything extra for it. Keep your booking details somewhere safe, as they make it quicker for our team to help if you need to get in touch later.
