No Heating or No Hot Water

Heating or Hot Water Not Working?

If your boiler is running but you have no heating, no hot water, or only one working but not the other, the issue may be more specific than a full breakdown.

Different symptoms point to different faults. Identifying the pattern helps narrow down the cause.

No Heating and No Hot Water

If both have stopped completely, common causes include:

Check the boiler display for fault codes and ensure pressure is above 1 bar. If the boiler will not restart, professional diagnosis is required.

Sudden Loss of Hot Water

If hot water stops suddenly during use, possible causes include:
Boiler overheating and cutting out
Flame detection issues
Gas supply interruption
Pressure drop

When to Call an Engineer

Contact a Gas Safe engineer if:
The boiler display shows a fault code
Pressure keeps dropping
The system locks out repeatedly
There is water leaking from the boiler
The issue persists after basic checks

What We Check During Diagnosis

When attending a heating or hot water issue, we assess:
System pressure
Circulation and pump operation
Diverter valve function
Gas rate and combustion
Electrical controls

Heating Works but No Hot Water

If your radiators are heating but taps run cold, the likely causes include:

This is common in combi boilers and usually requires internal component repair.

Hot Water Works but No Heating

If you have hot water but radiators remain cold, possible causes include:

This is often a circulation or control issue rather than a full boiler failure.

Radiators Not Heating Properly

If your radiators are not warming up as expected, it can lead to uneven temperatures throughout your home and reduced heating efficiency. In many cases, this issue develops gradually and may go unnoticed until certain rooms start feeling colder than others. If some radiators are cold or only warm at the bottom, the problem may be:

Frequently Asked Questions

We aim to offer same-day appointments where availability allows. Emergency breakdowns are prioritised.

F.75 usually indicates a pressure change detection issue, often linked to the pump or pressure sensor.

Pressure loss may be caused by leaks, expansion vessel failure or pressure relief valve issues.

Yes. All gas work is carried out by a fully qualified Gas Safe registered engineer.
