More information
What emergency heating system failure support covers
This service is for urgent heating breakdowns that affect safety, comfort, or whether a property is habitable. The aim is to stabilise the situation quickly, then restore essential services.
- Rapid fault-finding on boilers and central heating systems
- Safety checks and isolation of gas, water, or electrics where required
- Repairs to restore heating and hot water where possible
- Control and thermostat checks, resets, and system re-pressurising
- Identifying leaks, failed components, or circulation issues
- Clear explanation of what failed and what it will take to fix properly
- Advice on next steps if parts are needed or replacement is the safer option
When this service is the right fit
Book an emergency visit if:
- You have no heating or hot water and basic resets have not helped
- The boiler is showing repeated fault codes or keeps locking out
- There is a leak from the boiler or heating pipework
- You suspect a gas-related issue, smell gas, or a CO alarm has activated
- A tenant or customer is without heat in cold weather, or a vulnerable person is affected
If you smell gas or think there is immediate danger, turn off the gas at the meter if safe, ventilate the area, and contact the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999.
How the emergency repair is delivered
You will be asked a few quick questions to triage the issue, then an engineer attends as soon as possible. On arrival, the priority is safety first, then diagnosis.
Typical steps include inspection, testing, and checking system pressures, controls, and key components. If the fault can be repaired on the spot, the system is brought back online and run through basic operating checks.
After the immediate issue is stabilised
Some failures need parts, further investigation, or planned works. You will be given a clear summary of what was found, what was done during the emergency visit, and the recommended next action to restore reliability and reduce repeat breakdowns.
