High Urgency

Boiler or Hot Water Issues

Complete system failures or irregular supply.

🚨 Recommended Action: Gas Safe Intervention Required

If your boiler has a blank display or is showing a lock-out code (e.g., F22, F75, E119), do not attempt self-repair. Try checking if your gas prepay meter has credit, and verify your mains water is on.

  • Check your boiler pressure gauge (ideal is 1.0 to 1.5 bar).
  • Note down any specific error code letters/numbers.
  • Est. Repair Cost: £90 - £240 + parts
Call Emergency Dispatch Book Safe Engineer

⚠️ Recommended Action: Diverter Valve or Sensor Diagnostics

This is commonly caused by a failing diverter valve or a faulty NTC thermistor sensor, preventing the boiler from correctly shifting between central heating and domestic hot water.

  • Usually does not require emergency immediate shutdown.
  • Best resolved with a scheduled diagnostic call.
  • Est. Repair Cost: £120 - £210

High Urgency

Water Leaks & Pipe Faults

Active water escape from fixtures, fittings, or ceilings.

🚨 CRITICAL: Isolate Your Stopcock Immediately

Do not wait for a plumber. Turn off your main water supply immediately. It is usually located under the kitchen sink, in a hallway cupboard, or under the stairs.

  • Turn stopcock clockwise to shut off water.
  • Turn on cold taps to drain remaining water from the system.
  • We prioritize active water escape in Nuneaton within 1 hour.

🔧 Recommended Action: Scheduled Maintenance

A slowly dripping tap or fitting is usually a worn ceramic disc cartridge or rubber washer. While not an emergency, delaying repair can lead to water damage or scale buildup.

  • Easy fix with a standard half-hour slot.
  • Est. Repair Cost: £60 - £90

Medium Urgency

Radiator & Distribution Issues

Rooms not heating up or radiator surface temperature uneven.

💡 Recommended Action: Bleed Your Radiators

You can easily resolve this yourself! Use a radiator bleed key to release trapped air from the valve at the top of the radiator until water begins to emerge.

  • Ensure heating is completely off before bleeding.
  • Keep a cloth handy to catch drips.
  • Note: You may need to top up your boiler pressure afterwards.
Book assistance if unsure

⚠️ Recommended Action: System Powerflush Recommended

Over time, black iron oxide sludge settles at the bottom of radiators, restricting warm water flow. Bleeding will not resolve this; a professional chemical powerflush is required.

  • Improves system efficiency by up to 25%.
  • Protects the boiler heat exchanger from failing.
  • Est. Cost: £350 - £550 depending on house size.

Medium Urgency

Boiler System Pressure Issues

Boiler stopping/failing due to incorrect pressure levels.

💡 Recommended Action: Top-up via Filling Loop

Locate the silver braided filling loop beneath your boiler. Open the black plastic valves slowly to allow fresh mains water into the heating circuit until the gauge registers 1.2 Bar.

  • Always close valves tightly once topped up.
  • If pressure drops repeatedly, you may have a hidden leak.
Book Leak Detection If Dropping

⚠️ Recommended Action: Expansion Vessel Diagnostics

This usually indicates that your boiler's internal expansion vessel has lost its air charge or the diaphragm has failed, leaving no room for hot water to expand.

  • Do not top up the system further.
  • Bleeding a radiator can temporarily lower system pressure safely.
  • Requires a Gas Safe engineer to recharge or replace the vessel.
