Something not working right?
Heating or plumbing playing up? Pick the problem below for the safe checks you can do yourself, the likely causes, and the point at which it is time to call an engineer.
Boiler losing pressure
If your boiler pressure gauge keeps dropping, or the boiler locks out until it is topped up again, there is usually a fixable cause behind it.
Read the guide →Radiators not heating up
Cold spots, one cold radiator or radiators that stay lukewarm while the boiler runs are all common and often easy to sort out.
Read the guide →No hot water
No hot water is one of the most disruptive problems in the home. Some causes are simple, others need an engineer.
Read the guide →Dripping taps and leaking pipes
A dripping tap wastes water and money, and even a small leak can damage cupboards, ceilings and floors if it is ignored.
Read the guide →Blocked sinks and slow drains
Water draining slowly or standing in the sink is usually caused by a build-up in the waste pipe, and often can be cleared without harsh chemicals.
Read the guide →Heating making unusual noises
Banging, gurgling, humming or whistling from the boiler or radiators is your heating telling you something. Some noises are harmless, some are not.
