Whether you have a traditional tank, instant hot water system, or a combi boiler issue, we have the skills and tools to fix it.

Most common water heater repairs can be completed within 1-3 hours, especially if the necessary parts are on our engineer's van. More complex issues or those requiring a specific part order might take longer, but we always strive for a "fix first-visit" approach and keep you informed every step of the way.

A sudden loss of hot water can be caused by various issues: a tripped circuit breaker (for electric heaters), a pilot light that's gone out (for gas heaters), a faulty thermostat, a broken heating element, or even a leak in the tank. Our emergency engineers can quickly identify and fix the cause.

Leaks can originate from several places: the temperature and pressure relief (T&P) valve, inlet/outlet pipe connections, or most seriously, from a crack or corrosion in the tank itself. If your tank is leaking, it often indicates the end of its life and may require replacement or new boiler installation. Our engineers can assess the leak and advise on the best course of action, including our Leak Detection service.

This depends on several factors: the age of your unit, the cost of the repair versus a new installation, and its overall efficiency.

Our engineer will provide an honest assessment and advise you on the best option. We also offer expert boiler installation services if a new unit is needed.

Common noises like rumbling, banging, or popping often indicate sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank. As the heating element heats this sediment, it creates steam bubbles that burst, causing noise. This reduces efficiency and can damage the tank over time. A professional flush and clean can resolve this.

Low hot water pressure can be more than just an annoyance. It might indicate sediment buildup in your water heater or pipes, a faulty pressure reducing valve, or even a leak. While not always an immediate emergency, it should be investigated to prevent further issues and ensure optimal performance. Our emergency plumbing team can assist.

Yes, our Gas Safe registered engineers are experts in diagnosing and repairing pilot light issues on gas water heaters. Common causes include a faulty thermocouple, a dirty pilot orifice, or a problem with the gas supply. We'll ensure your pilot light is safely and reliably igniting.

If your electric water heater keeps tripping the fuse or circuit breaker, it's often a sign of an electrical fault, such as a short circuit in a heating element or faulty wiring. This is a safety concern and should be addressed immediately by a qualified electrician or our water heater repair specialists. We can safely diagnose and repair these electrical issues.

A whistling sound from your water heater often indicates a faulty pressure relief valve that is letting steam escape. This can be dangerous as it means pressure is building up inside the tank. It requires immediate professional attention to prevent potential hazards. Always call a qualified engineer if you hear whistling from your water heater.

Yes, a power outage can affect both electric and modern gas water heaters. Electric models will lose power and stop heating. Gas models with electronic ignition systems also rely on electricity and may not restart automatically. Pilot light models might be less affected but can still experience issues.
