Common Boiler Problems We Fix
Experiencing any of these issues? Give us a call and we'll get your boiler back up and running.
No Heating or Hot Water
The most common boiler complaint — could be caused by a faulty diverter valve, thermostat issue, or low water pressure.
Boiler Keeps Switching Off
Often caused by low water pressure, a faulty thermostat, or a blocked condensate pipe in cold weather.
Leaking or Dripping
Leaks can come from internal components, pressure valves, or corroded pipes. Should always be investigated promptly.
Strange Noises
Banging, whistling or gurgling sounds are often caused by air in the system, low water pressure, or limescale build-up (kettling).
Low Boiler Pressure
A common issue that can be caused by a leak in the system, a faulty pressure relief valve, or recently bled radiators.
Radiators Not Heating Up
Cold spots or radiators that won't heat up can indicate sludge build-up, air in the system, or a faulty pump.
Error Codes on Display
Modern boilers display fault codes to help diagnose issues. Our engineers are trained on all major brands and can quickly identify the problem.
Pilot Light Keeps Going Out
Could be caused by a faulty thermocouple, a draught, or a build-up of deposits around the pilot light.
Frozen Condensate Pipe
A common issue in winter when the condensate pipe running outside freezes, causing the boiler to shut down.
Frozen Condensate Pipe
During cold weather, the condensate pipe that runs from your boiler to an outside drain can freeze, causing the boiler to shut down. This is one of the most common winter boiler problems we're called out to.
Watch the video to see what a frozen condensate pipe looks like. If this doesn't help you fix it, feel free to give us a call on 01257 421660 and we'll help get your boiler back up and running.
Our Approach to Boiler Repairs
When you call F.G. Welch, we'll arrange for one of our Gas Safe registered engineers to attend as quickly as possible.

If sludge build-up is causing cold radiators or repeated breakdowns, we may recommend a power flush to restore your system's performance.
