If your boiler has suddenly stopped working, you have no heating, no hot water, or water is leaking from the unit, this is not something to delay.
Emergency boiler faults can escalate quickly. Pressure can spike. Components can fail further. Water damage can spread.
When your boiler shuts down unexpectedly, the most common causes are:
If your boiler display shows a fault code and will not reset, it requires professional diagnosis. Repeatedly pressing reset can sometimes make the situation worse.
If you notice a strong gas smell in your property, it is a serious safety issue that requires immediate action. Gas leaks can pose a risk of fire, explosion, and health hazards, so it’s important to respond quickly and carefully.
Water leaking from your boiler is an emergency. Leaks may indicate:
Turn the boiler off and contact an engineer. Continuing to run a leaking boiler can cause internal damage.
If the pressure drops suddenly below 1 bar and the system shuts down, do not ignore it. This may indicate:
Frequent repressurising is not a fix. It is a warning sign.

A boiler emergency includes no heating, no hot water, water leaking from the boiler, rapid pressure loss, fault codes that won’t reset, or any smell of gas.
No. Repeatedly pressing the reset button can make the problem worse. If the boiler won’t reset or shows a fault code, it needs professional diagnosis.
Turn the boiler off immediately and contact an engineer. Running a leaking boiler can cause serious internal damage and further system failure.
Sudden or frequent pressure drops are a warning sign and should not be ignored. Constantly repressurising the system is not a fix and may indicate a leak or component failure.
We assess the urgency, prioritise heating and hot water failures, carry out full fault diagnosis and safety checks, and repair the boiler correctly—not just reset it.
