I wouldn't hesitate to recommend TM Hughes. The water from my bath and sink was draining extremely slowly. We had tried liquid drain unblockers but these had failed. After a visit from Terry and one of his fantastic plumbers our water now gushes away at a rate we've never seen before. A huge thank you to both of them.

Boiler breakdowns can be an absolute nightmare. There’s nothing worse than waking up to no hot water or heat in the middle of winter. That’s where we come in. We are a team of experienced Gas Safe registered heating engineers who’ve seen it all. Whether it’s servicing or repairs, your Boiler needs attention, and trust us, getting it right from the start will save you loads of trouble and expense

Read on for everything you need to know about Boiler Servicing and Repairs, why they matter, and how to ensure your Boiler keeps running smoothly for years to come.

Boiler Servicing

Boiler servicing isn’t just something that gets ticked off your to-do list once a year because it’s “the thing to do”. It’s vital to ensure your Boiler is running safely and efficiently. We’ve been in the trade long enough to tell you this: skipping a service can lead to big issues, and those issues often come with repair bills that could have been avoided.

The problem is a lot of homeowners think that their Boiler is working just fine because it’s heating the house. But Boilers are complex appliances, and many things could be happening behind the scenes that you can’t see. Without servicing, you risk inefficient performance, Boiler breakdown and even carbon monoxide leaks – which can be dangerous.

A good, thorough Service covers all of this and more. It’s not just about ensuring your Boiler works – it’s about ensuring it works safely and efficiently.

We can’t stress enough how much easier and cheaper it is to take care of your Boiler with annual servicing rather than wait until something goes wrong. When you stay on top of maintenance, you avoid costly repairs and extend the life of your Boiler.

What Happens During a Boiler Service?

When we get to work on your Boiler, we go deep to make sure everything is running as it should. We’ll check for leaks, assess the gas pressure, clean the heat exchanger, and ensure the gas is burnt correctly. We also test your safety devices, controls and thermostats, ensuring everything works as efficiently as possible.

If your system needs any tweaks, we’ll sort it out immediately. A regular service ensures that your boiler runs safely and performs at its peak.

You want that efficiency because that’s how you save on energy bills. A well-maintained Boiler uses less gas to heat your home, which means more money in your pocket at the end of the month.

Properties which have Underfloor Heating or Air Conditioning can have these systems serviced and repaired during the same visit as your Boiler.

Boiler Repairs

Boilers don’t just break down out of nowhere. More often than not, when a Boiler fails, it’s because something’s been off for a while. Maybe it’s been making strange noises, or you’ve noticed that the water temperature isn’t as consistent as it should be. Sometimes, it’s just that you haven’t had a service in ages, and the wear and tear has finally caught up.

We understand. No one wants to think about Boiler repairs until they have to. But trust us, waiting too long to resolve a problem will cost you a lot more in the long run. A small issue left unchecked can turn into a big repair job.

For example, a small leak or some sludge building up inside the system might seem minor now, but if you leave it, you’re looking at the possibility of a total Boiler breakdown. That’s when the real damage happens, and you could be stuck paying for a new Boiler – and that’s never cheap.

Common Boiler Problems and How to Spot Them

You’ve probably heard that little clicking noise from your Boiler or noticed your water pressure drop for no reason. These are the early warning signs that something isn’t quite right. Boilers can have all sorts of issues; most of the time, it’s a simple fix. Whether it’s a faulty thermostat, a broken pump, or even a blocked pipe, these problems are much easier to tackle when caught early.

But how do you know when to call in a professional? If you’re getting no hot water or heat, that’s an obvious issue that needs attention. But even if the issue seems minor, like your pilot light flickering or a strange smell coming from your Boiler, don’t ignore it. These small signs could be pointing to something more serious, and it’s always better to get a professional to look before it turns into an emergency.

How to Handle Boiler Repairs

When you call us to repair your Boiler, we’ll take a methodical approach to diagnose the issue. We’ll check the system thoroughly, run tests, and get to the root of the problem. This isn’t a job for DIYers, and we can’t stress enough how important it is to get a qualified gas-safe engineer to handle repairs.

Boilers are complex, and working with gas requires specific expertise.

When we come to repair a Boiler, we’ll assess everything from the gas pressure to the internal components. Once we’ve pinpointed the issue, we’ll fix it on the spot if we can. And we’ll always ensure everything works properly before we leave. This ensures your heating system is safe and your Boiler runs smoothly for as long as possible.

Fast Response

You don’t want just anyone showing up at your door. You want someone who knows what they’re doing, who’s local, and who understands the needs of homeowners in Braintree. Hiring a local expert is key.

We’ll respond quickly when you need us, and you’ll always get a personalised approach. We’re not just some faceless contractor – we’re a family-run business invested in your home and comfort.

Don’t Neglect Your Boiler

Boiler Servicing and Repairs are things that homeowners in Braintree often forget about until it’s too late. But if you take care of your Boiler now, you’ll save yourself a lot of hassle and money.

By undertaking regular Servicing to keep your Boiler in top condition or getting it repaired as soon as something goes wrong, you’ll have a safe, efficient, and reliable heating system that won’t disappoint you.
