The most common Chaffoteaux Talia Green System problems

The faults most likely to send a Chaffoteaux Talia Green System into lockout — with plain-English causes, what to check first, estimated repair costs and whether you need a Gas Safe engineer.

This model is discontinued. Parts can be harder to source and expensive. If repair costs are mounting, a new A-rated boiler may be the smarter choice.

The 6 most common faults

01
08 High DIY-safe

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

What to try first

Locate the filling loop (usually a flexible silver hose) underneath the boiler.Open the valves to allow mains cold water into the system until the pressure gauge reads between 1.0 and 1.5 bar.Close both valves tightly to stop the inflow of water.

02
01 High Engineer

Your boiler has detected an ignition failure, meaning it is failing to light the flame required to provide heating and hot water.

Est. cost
£120-250
Parts
Ignition electrode, Gas valve, Printed Circuit Board (PCB)

03
03 High Engineer

Your boiler is trying to start, but it cannot sense a steady flame, so it has safely shut itself down to prevent gas from building up.

Est. cost
£120-250
Parts
Ionisation electrode, Ignition lead, PCB

04
07 High Engineer

Your boiler has detected that water is not flowing properly around your heating system, so it has safely shut down to prevent overheating.

Est. cost
£150-350
Parts
Central heating pump, Flow sensor, Diverter valve

05
09 High Engineer

Your boiler is struggling to detect the temperature of your hot water supply, so it has safely decided to stop heating your taps.

Call a Gas Safe engineer if…

  • You can smell gas or see signs of a leak
  • The Chaffoteaux shows an Emergency or High severity code
  • The boiler keeps locking out after repeated resets
  • You've tried the DIY checks and the fault hasn't cleared
  • There's visible water leaking from the boiler
  • The flame is yellow or orange instead of blue
