Boiler Service & Repair Witham

The Boiler Service Procedure

Here’s an example of the procedures we use for Servicing Boilers

• The Boiler case is inspected externally for signs of corrosion. The case is then removed and inspected internally before being cleaned.
• All seals and pipework are checked to ensure they are tight and not leaking water.
• The pressure is checked and adjusted if too high or low.
• The internal components of the Boiler are cleaned so your Boiler will run better and we can perform accurate testing.
• The gas burner is cleaned, and the pressure is checked and adjusted if necessary.
• The gas flow rate is tested with a gas meter to ensure the correct amount of gas is burned.
• A testing device known as a flue gas analyser is placed inside the flue to check the rate of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and oxygen to establish efficiency and safety.
• The flue’s checked to ensure it retains heat and is not damaged or leaking exhaust gasses.
• The ventilation’s tested to ensure ten meters of cubic air are available for every cubic meter of gas burned.
• The safety and relief valves are tested to ensure they are in good working order and will prevent Boiler damage in the event of a fault.
• The Boiler and pipework are tested to ensure there’s no leaking gas present.
• The case is refitted, and the Boiler’s switched on.
• The engineer will check your radiators (which are bled if necessary) and hot water to verify the Boiler’s working correctly.
• A service record is written and given to you.
• The engineer tidies up and leaves. 

Boiler Repairs

If your Boiler has broken down or it’s not working properly, please get in touch and speak to one of our engineers.

We always aim to attend Boiler Repairs within two hours. However, never ignore a fault as, at best, it will likely develop into a more severe problem and could cause your Boiler significant damage. At worst, the fault could be a danger to you and your family.

We have lots of experience repairing Boilers and, on most occasions, execute successful repairs on the first visit.

Our prices are very reasonable and include no-call out charges.

If your Boiler won’t switch on at all or has stopped abruptly and won’t start again, it’s time for a qualified engineer to take a look.

Never attempt to repair a Boiler yourself. It’s a job for a qualified professional with Gas Safe Registration.

Call us also if your Boiler isn’t running properly. We may be able to offer a solution over the phone (for minor issues) otherwise you can book a time and date for us to visit.

Typical Boiler Faults Include

• Low pressure – May need adjusting, or could be a leak or blockage present
• Dropping pressure – A leak or blockage is present if you have tried repressurising and the pressure keeps dropping.
• Leaking – Never ignore leaks. They will eventually damage your Boiler
• The pilot light keeps blowing out – The thermocouple (a safety device needs replacing)
• Whistling Noises – Probably a limescale blockage in the heat exchanger, an urgent issue that needs attention.
• Boiler won’t switch on – Could be several issues. Give us a call we will inspect your Boiler and provide a solution.

Whatever the issue with your Boiler, we will quickly identify the cause and undertake a repair. We carry typical Boiler parts for swift repairs. The parts we don’t we can obtain locally, usually on the same day.
