Emergency Boiler Leak

What emergency boiler leak repair covers

Emergency boiler leaks need a fast, methodical response. The aim is to stop the leak, protect your property, and leave the heating system safe.

• Urgent attendance for active leaks from the boiler, valves, or associated pipework
• Isolation of water, electrics, and gas where required to control risk
• Fault-finding to pinpoint the leak source (boiler components, seals, pressure relief pipe, condensate pipework, or nearby heating pipework)
• Repair or replacement of accessible failed parts where possible on the visit
• Re-pressurising, bleeding, and basic functional checks to confirm stable operation
• Clear explanation of findings, options, and next steps if additional parts or a return visit are required
• Work completed in line with current safety requirements for gas and heating systems

When this service is most relevant

Book an emergency boiler leak repair if you notice any of the following:

• Water dripping from the boiler casing or pooling underneath
• A sudden loss of system pressure alongside signs of leakage
• Leaks from the pressure relief pipe or visible valves near the boiler
• A leak after the system has been topped up, reset, or restarted
• Water near electrics, ceilings, or finished flooring where damage could escalate

What happens during the visit

The visit is focused on making the situation safe first, then restoring service where it is sensible to do so.

1. Initial safety checks and isolation as needed.
2. Inspection and diagnosis to confirm the leak source.
3. Repair work where possible, plus checks for secondary issues (pressure, expansion vessel, and obvious signs of component failure).
4. Testing and recommissioning if the system can be safely returned to use.
5. Handover with a clear summary of what was done and any recommended follow-up.

If the leak cannot be permanently repaired on the first visit, the system will be left safe and you will be advised on the quickest practical route to full repair.

After the leak is stopped

Once the immediate leak is resolved, it is often worth addressing the underlying cause to reduce the chance of a repeat incident. You may be advised to arrange follow-up work such as component replacement, a boiler service, or checks to system pressure control and pipework condition. If any drying or damage limitation steps are recommended, you will be told what to do and what to watch for over the next few days.
