Your boiler has detected a general internal fault that prevents it from starting, meaning you currently have no heating or hot water.

High Engineer only £120-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Diverter valve
  • PCB
  • Flow switch
  • NTC sensor
24

Your boiler is failing to light the internal flame, which could be due to a blockage in the waste water pipe or an issue with the gas ignition system.

High Engineer only £120-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Ignition electrode
  • Flame rectification probe
  • Condensate trap assembly
  • Printed circuit board
25

Your boiler has detected that it is running too hot and has automatically shut itself down to prevent damage or dangerous overheating.

Emergency Engineer only £150-300

Parts commonly replaced

  • Overheat thermostat
  • Pump
  • Diverter valve
  • Primary heat exchanger
26

Your boiler is struggling to circulate water, likely because there is not enough pressure in the system or the internal pump has stopped working.

High DIY-safe £150-350

What to check first

  1. Check your boiler's pressure gauge on the front panel; if it is below 1 bar, you may need to top it up using the external filling loop.
  2. Ensure your system pressure is set to roughly 1.5 bar.
  3. If the pressure is correct, ensure your heating controls and room thermostat are set to 'on' to see if the pump triggers.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Central heating pump
  • Pressure relief valve
  • Pressure gauge
  • Pressure switch
27

Your boiler is struggling to circulate water, likely because there is not enough water inside the system or the internal pump has stopped working.

High DIY-safe £150-350

What to check first

  1. Check your pressure gauge; if it is below 1 bar, top up your boiler using the filling loop until it hits 1.5 bar.
  2. Turn off the power to the boiler for 30 seconds to perform a hard reset.
  3. Check if any radiators are cold at the bottom, which may indicate trapped air needing a bleed.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Central heating pump
  • Pressure gauge
  • Pressure relief valve
28

Your boiler has lost the ability to accurately measure the temperature of the water circulating through your radiators, so it has shut down to prevent overheating.

High Engineer only £120-220

Parts commonly replaced

  • Central Heating NTC Sensor
  • Wiring Harness

Your boiler has stopped working because it is unable to accurately measure the temperature of the water used for your radiators.

High Engineer only £120-220

Parts commonly replaced

  • Central Heating NTC Sensor
  • Wiring harness
Section A

Your boiler has no electricity flowing into it, meaning it is completely turned off and cannot heat your home or provide hot water.

High Engineer only £120-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Main PCB
  • Fuse
  • Wiring harness
Section B

Your boiler is failing to start because it is not receiving the electrical signal required to activate the water pump.

High Engineer only £150-300

Parts commonly replaced

  • Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
  • Wiring harness
Section C

Your boiler is struggling to circulate water properly, likely due to low pressure or a sticking internal component that prevents hot water from reaching your radiators or taps.

High Engineer only £150-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Diverter valve diaphragm
  • Pressure relief valve
  • Automatic air vent
Showing 11–20 of 20
Section D

Your boiler has stopped working because it cannot detect the water flow needed to safely ignite or move heat around your home.

High Engineer only £150-300

Parts commonly replaced

  • DHW flow switch
  • NTC thermistor
  • Fan assembly
Section E

Your boiler is failing to clear its combustion gases safely, so it has shut down to prevent any risk of fumes entering your home.

High Engineer only £150-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Air pressure switch
  • Venturi
  • Fan assembly
Section F

Your boiler is failing to ignite because it cannot receive the gas supply it needs to produce a flame.

High Engineer only £150-350

Parts commonly replaced

  • Gas valve
  • Ignition lead
  • PCB
Section G

Your boiler is struggling to control its gas flame correctly, which prevents it from safely heating your home or water.

High Engineer only £150-300

Parts commonly replaced

  • Gas valve
  • Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
Section H

Your boiler is failing to light the burner, meaning it cannot produce heat or hot water.

High Engineer only £120-250

Parts commonly replaced

  • Ignition lead
  • Ignition electrode
  • Ignition PCB
Section I

Your boiler is failing to detect that it has successfully lit the flame, so it is turning itself off as a safety precaution.

High Engineer only £120-220

Parts commonly replaced

  • Flame rectification electrode
  • Ignition lead
  • PCB
Section J

Your boiler has detected that it is getting too hot and has automatically switched itself off to prevent any damage or safety issues.

High Engineer only £120-250

Parts commonly replaced
