High Engineer only £90-180

Parts commonly replaced

  • Flow/Return Thermistor
  • Wiring Harness
Lockout lamp flashing 4 times every 2 seconds

Your boiler has stopped working because it has detected that the water pressure inside the system is too low.

High DIY-safe £90-180

What to check first

  1. Locate the filling loop flexible hose underneath your boiler.
  2. Open the valves slowly to let mains water into the heating system.
  3. Watch the pressure gauge until it reaches between 1.0 and 1.5 bar, then firmly close the valves.

Parts commonly replaced

Boiler off on front

Your boiler has lost its power supply or the internal fuse has blown, meaning the unit is completely switched off.

High DIY-safe £80-£200

What to check first

  1. Check that the fused spur switch supplying the boiler is turned on.
  2. Check your home's main fuse box (consumer unit) to ensure the circuit breaker for the boiler has not tripped.
  3. If the breaker has tripped, try resetting it once. If it trips again immediately, do not attempt further resets.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Internal fuse
  • PCB (Printed Circuit Board)
  • Power supply cable or switch
Cabinet overheat

Your boiler has automatically shut down because the internal temperature inside the outer casing has become too hot.

High Engineer only £150-350

Parts commonly replaced

  • Cabinet thermostat
  • Internal fan
  • Heat exchanger seals

External controls not calling for heat

Your boiler is currently switched on and ready to work, but it is not starting up because your thermostat or timer is not sending a signal for heat.

High DIY-safe £80-150

What to check first

  1. Check that your room thermostat or smart controller is set to a temperature higher than the current room temperature.
  2. Check the batteries in your wireless room thermostat and replace them if they are flat.
  3. Ensure your heating timer or programmer is currently scheduled to be in an 'On' period.

Parts commonly replaced

  • External room thermostat
  • Time clock or programmer
