Emergency Boiler Repair Houghton le Spring
What to do first when the boiler stops
If you smell gas or a carbon monoxide alarm sounds: leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999. Follow their instructions before arranging routine repair work.
If water is leaking: switch the boiler off if it is safe to do so and keep away from electrical equipment near the leak. If the leak is significant, isolate the water supply if you can do so safely.
If the boiler is locked out: note the fault code, check the thermostat and timer, and look at the pressure gauge. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for any reset. If the fault returns, call us rather than repeatedly resetting it.
Fixed price diagnosis before the repair
An emergency boiler visit starts with a fixed diagnosis from £96. There is no separate call-out charge added on top.
If a part is needed, we explain the fault and give you a fixed repair price before anything is ordered or fitted.
If an older boiler is no longer economical to repair, we will tell you and let you compare the repair with a replacement. See new boiler installation in Houghton le Spring for local replacement information.
