We can get you up and running with a boiler repair
Choose our basic fixed price boiler repair of £80 for the first hour of labour, which drops to £50 per hour for any additional hours needed.
However, this does not include any replacement parts required, which will be charged at the RRP, and doesn’t protect you against any future heating issues.
We recommend replacing your boiler when it’s over 10-15 years old, as the cost of repairs for an old boiler will only increase over time. But, it all depends on how old, efficient and reliable your current boiler is.
We’ve discussed this in detail on our repair or replace advice guide.
Boilers are generally great are their job but like us, they do have off days which can cause an array of issues such as leaking or dripping, low boiler pressure or no heating/hot water. We’ve compiled a list of the most common boiler faults and information about them.

There are small fixes you can do to your boiler, such as topping up the boiler pressure but any major fixes should be left with the professionals – if you’re not qualified and work with gas you could cause carbon monoxide poisoning.

Stop using your boiler and get it checked as soon as possible if:
If you’re moving home, you might think a repair is a better option but it’s still a gamble as something else could fail down the line.
An inefficient central heating system is likely to be picked up on a survey by prospective buyers so it’s better to replace it before you put the house on the market and cover the installation cost in your house price. Similarly, with renting, you’re more likely to attract and retain tenants with a reliable up-to-date boiler.
If you want to keep your boiler in tip-top condition for longer, an annual service is the way to go – it’s like getting an MOT for your car.

Yes, an old boiler can absolutely be repaired – the only downside is the price.
The cost of fixing it depends on what the issue is and if you need a spare part. For a 10-year-old unit, it’s generally harder to come by high-quality parts, which means finding and buying them can cost a lot more.
