Guides to the problems that produce the most calls
Written by the people who go out to fix them, to help you work out what is going on before anyone arrives, what you can safely do yourself and what to expect when an engineer comes. No dates, no news, no padding.

What readers who became customers said afterwards
Most heating and plumbing calls start with a question: why is the boiler losing pressure, why is the radiator cold at the bottom, where is the water coming from. The guides here answer those questions properly, at the length they need, with the checks you can do yourself and the point at which it becomes an engineer's job. They sit alongside our heating and plumbing services, which describe what the engineer then does, and the areas we cover, which describe the London housing the problems occur in. When a guide tells you it is an engineer's job, get a written price in a minute, and a question the guides do not answer can be sent through our contact page.

FAQ
Questions about the guides
Are these guides advice for my own boiler or heating system?
They describe what is generally the case and what an engineer looks for. They are not a survey of your installation, and anything involving gas must be done by a registered engineer. Use them to understand the problem, then get it looked at.
Can I do the checks in the guides myself?
The ones described as homeowner tasks, yes: reading a pressure gauge, topping up a sealed system, bleeding a radiator, the meter test for a leak. Anything that involves opening the boiler or working on gas is not.
Will more guides be added?
Yes. The archive grows as new questions come up from the work. The three here cover the problems that produce the most calls.
Can I ask a question that is not covered?
Yes, through the form on any page. Describe the symptom and an engineer will answer it, and if it is a common one it may become the next guide.
