Boilers & Heaters Repair

Heating system repair and maintenance guides. Detailed repair guides for all brands and models.

Boiler repair requires caution—these systems use gas, water, and electricity. Common fixes include repressurizing (adding water via the filling loop), replacing the pressure relief valve, and cleaning the heat exchanger. Error codes like F22, E119, or L2 often indicate specific faults. Annual servicing by a Gas Safe engineer is recommended for gas boilers. Our guides cover Vaillant, Worcester Bosch, Baxi, Ideal, and Viessmann. DIY tasks include bleeding radiators, checking pressure, and replacing pumps. For gas work, always use a qualified professional.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I adjust boiler pressure?

Turn off the boiler and let it cool. Locate the filling loop (usually below the boiler). Slowly open the valves until pressure reaches 1.0-1.5 bar. Close valves firmly when done. Pressure may rise to 2 bar when heated, which is normal.

What do error codes mean on my boiler?

Error codes vary by manufacturer but commonly indicate: low pressure (E110), ignition failure (E125), pump failure (E130), or overheating (E160). Consult your manual for specific codes. Many issues can be resolved by checking pressure or resetting the system.

Why is there no hot water but heating works?

This usually indicates a diverter valve issue, failed heat exchanger, or water flow sensor problem. The diverter valve directs heat between radiators and taps. It may be stuck or faulty and typically requires professional repair.
