Common Boiler Faults We Repair in Derby
No matter what your boiler is doing - or not doing - our engineers have almost certainly seen it before.
Common boiler problems we fix across Derby include:
No heating or hot water - one of the most common call-outs, with a range of potential causes from a faulty diverter valve to a failed pump
Boiler losing pressure - usually a sign of a leak in the system, a faulty pressure relief valve, or a problem with the expansion vessel
Boiler making strange noises - banging, kettling, gurgling, or whistling can indicate limescale build-up, trapped air, or pump failure
Boiler cutting out repeatedly - also known as lockout, this can be triggered by low pressure,
overheating, or a sensor fault
Pilot light going out - common on older boilers, often caused by a faulty thermocouple or draught issues
Leaking or dripping boiler - can be caused by a failed seal, valve, or heat exchanger - should always be investigated promptly
Error codes on the display - we diagnose and resolve fault codes across all major boiler brands
Radiators not heating up - could be a circulation issue, a stuck zone valve, or a problem with the pump
No hot water but heating works (or vice versa) - typically a diverter valve fault on combi boilers
If your boiler is showing a fault not listed above, call us anyway. If it can be fixed, we'll fix it.

and get an engineer scheduled as quickly as possible.
Step 2 - Diagnosis
Our engineer will arrive, carry out a full assessment of your boiler and heating system, and identify the root
cause of the problem - not just the symptom.
Step 3 - Quote & fix
We'll explain what's wrong in plain English and give you a clear price before any repair work begins. For most
common faults, we carry the parts needed and can complete the repair on the same visit.
Step 4 - Test & sign off
Before we leave, we'll run the system through a full test to make sure everything is working correctly and safely.
Boiler Repairs for Homeowners and Landlords in Derby
Homeowners
A broken boiler is stressful, especially in winter. We'll get to you as quickly as we can, give you a straight
answer on what's wrong, and fix it properly. No upselling, no scare tactics.
Landlords
As a landlord, you have a legal duty of care to your tenants when it comes to heating and gas safety. We
work with landlords across Derby to provide prompt boiler repairs, keeping tenants warm and keeping you
compliant. We also carry out annual gas safety inspections and issue CP12 certificates - ask us about
combining a repair visit with your annual certificate if it's due.
We'll always give you an honest assessment. If your boiler is old, has needed repeated repairs, or the cost of
fixing it is getting close to the cost of replacing it, we'll tell you - and explain your options clearly.
As a rough guide, if your boiler is over 15 years old and facing a significant repair bill, a replacement is often
the smarter long-term investment. A modern A-rated boiler will also reduce your energy bills considerably
compared to an ageing, inefficient unit.
See our Boiler Installation Derby page for full details on new boiler costs and options.
