When a boiler isn’t working, depending on its age and manufacturer it may give you an error code. We have added some brief examples of what the issue could be. If your struggling to get it working again, get in touch and we can help.
Low Water Pressure Fault
Low boiler pressure is a common fault that usually triggers a shutdown to protect the system. It’s often caused by bleeding radiators, small leaks, or a failing expansion vessel. Topping up via the filling loop can temporarily fix it, but if pressure keeps dropping, it needs professional attention.
Ignition Fault
An ignition fault means the boiler is failing to light the burner. This could be due to issues with the gas supply, electrode, ignition lead, or PCB. It’s a safety shutdown to prevent further damage. While resetting the boiler may help, repeated ignition faults should be checked by a qualified engineer.
Thermostat Not Working
If the thermostat isn’t communicating with the boiler, the heating won’t come on as expected. This could be due to flat batteries, signal loss (in wireless models), incorrect settings, or a faulty thermostat. It’s also worth checking the boiler isn’t in standby or override mode. If all seems fine and heating still isn’t responding, further diagnostics may be needed.
Blocked Condensate Fault
A blocked condensate fault occurs when the condensate pipe becomes restricted, often due to freezing in cold weather or internal sludge build-up. This prevents the boiler from safely discharging waste water, triggering a lockout. The pipe may need to be thawed, cleared, or rerouted — especially if freezing is a recurring issue.
