✅ Helpful Boiler Repair Tips Before Calling an Engineer

Before you book a repair, here are safe checks you can try first. These can sometimes get your boiler working again without needing a call-out:

✅ 1. Check your boiler pressure

Look at the pressure gauge on your boiler. It should be between 1.0 and 1.5 bar.
If it’s low, you may need to repressurise your boiler – this is easy and safe if you follow our video guides.

✅ 2. Reset your boiler

Sometimes a simple reset clears a minor lockout fault. Press the reset button and wait a few minutes.

✅ 3. Bleed your radiators

If your heating is working but some rooms are cold, trapped air could be the cause. Bleed your radiators starting downstairs.

✅ 4. Check your thermostat

Make sure your thermostat batteries haven’t died and the heating is actually turned on.

✅ 5. Check for a frozen condensate pipe

If it’s cold outside and your boiler has stopped working, this is very common in Essex winters. You can safely thaw it.
