Your boiler has stopped working because the water pressure inside the system has dropped too low to operate safely.

High DIY-safe £80-150

What to check first

  1. Locate the external filling loop, which is usually a flexible silver hose connected between two pipes under your boiler.
  2. Open the valves on both ends of the filling loop to allow cold mains water into the system until the pressure gauge reads between 1.0 and 1.5 bar.
  3. Close both valves tightly to stop the flow of water and check the gauge remains steady.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Water pressure switch
  • Pressure relief valve
  • Pressure gauge
