What to check first

  1. Locate the external filling loop (a flexible silver hose) beneath the boiler.
  2. Open the valves at both ends of the hose to allow water into the system.
  3. Watch the pressure gauge on the front of the boiler until the needle reaches the green zone (typically 1.0 to 1.5 bar).
  4. Close both valves tightly and ensure the pressure gauge stays stable.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Filling loop
  • Pressure relief valve
  • Pressure sensor
125

Your boiler is struggling to move water around your heating system correctly, which is causing it to turn itself off to prevent overheating.

High Engineer only £150-350 Shared across the Assure range

Parts commonly replaced

  • Central heating pump
  • Diverter valve
  • System filter
