If your boiler has stopped working, we offer boiler repairs in Wickford at a fixed price. We aim to see you the same day or next day wherever possible, with our repair guarantee included. We repair boilers that leak, lose pressure, make noises or won't start.
Our team repairs combi, gas and electric boilers from every leading brand. When you book online, you pick the day that works for you. Your engineer starts by finding the cause of the fault. Once you're happy, they carry out the repair and test the boiler again. Your engineer can also answer any questions about your heating.
If you rent your home, check with your landlord first, as they usually arrange boiler repairs. If your boiler is still under a manufacturer's warranty, check the terms before you book. Just describe what the boiler is doing when you book, and your engineer will take it from there.
Boilers make some noise when they run, but loud banging, gurgling or whistling is a sign of a fault. The type of sound often shows where to look.
Gurgling usually means air in the system or a partly frozen condensate pipe. Bleeding the radiators can let the air out. Check the pressure afterwards, as it often drops. Our Gas Safe engineer in Wickford will check the whole system, not just the boiler.
Banging or knocking can come from limescale on the heat exchanger. The scale makes water boil in one spot, which causes the noise. This is often called kettling.
Whistling can point to low water flow, a pump problem or a blocked filter. A humming sound may come from the pump or the fan.
Don't ignore a boiler that has become louder. Noise often comes before a breakdown. Fixing the cause early is usually simpler.
A noisy boiler may also be using more energy than it should. Limescale and sludge make it work harder to heat the same water. Your engineer can tell you what is causing the noise and how to fix it.
Don't keep resetting a boiler that keeps failing. One reset is enough to show whether the fault clears.

Treat it as an emergency and dial 0800 111 999. That number reaches National Gas Emergency, who will send someone to make it safe. Turn off the gas at the meter, open the windows and avoid any sparks or flames. Then wait outside until they arrive.
Thaw it gently with warm water, then restart the boiler. Find the plastic pipe that runs from the boiler to the drain outside. The frozen part is usually at the end or at a bend. Once the ice has cleared, reset the boiler using the button or the steps in your manual.
All of them. Our engineers repair boilers from every leading brand, as well as many less common makes. That includes combi, gas and electric models. If you're not sure which boiler you have, the make is usually printed on the front panel. You'll also find it in the manual.
Yes, servicing is part of what we do. A boiler service in Wickford keeps your boiler running safely and efficiently. The engineer inspects the main parts, checks for leaks and tests the flame and gas pressure. A yearly service can spot problems early, before they become costly repairs.
Yes, all of them are. The law says anyone working on a gas boiler must be on the Gas Safe Register, and our engineers are. They are fully trained, DBS-checked and manufacturer approved. Opening up a gas boiler without the right training can put lives at risk, so always leave repairs to them.
