Alton-specific repair focus

In and around Alton (GU34), we regularly attend properties in Alton town centre, Anstey, Holybourne, Four Marks, Beech, Bentworth, Froyle and Chawton. The area has a good mix of older heating layouts and newer combi systems, so repair faults can vary by property type.

Typical call-outs include boilers that lose pressure (small system leaks or expansion issues), hot water temperature swings on combis (diverter/plate exchanger/sensors), noisy operation (restricted flow, sludge or scale), and winter lockouts caused by condensate pipe freezing on runs that are exposed outside.

Common in Alton
Pressure drops, ignition lockouts, hot water going cold, kettling/banging, noisy pumps, uneven radiators.
What we look at first
Fault history, pressure behaviour, condensate route, circulation health, and safety devices.

Before you book (safe quick checks)

Boiler won’t fire
Check timer/programmer and thermostat demand. Note any error code and when it shows up.
Low pressure
If the gauge is under ~1 bar it may lock out. Only top up if you’re confident and it’s safe.
Condensate frozen
External condensate pipes can freeze in cold weather and cause repeated shutdowns.
Leak near boiler
Switch off and book in — water can damage electronics and worsen the repair.

How an Alton boiler repair visit works

We don’t guess. We diagnose the root cause, confirm the best route, and then carry out the repair. If replacement is genuinely the smarter move, we’ll say so — but only after proper checks.

1) Structured diagnosis
We test operation, review fault codes and inspect key components and safety devices.
2) Explain the fault
What’s failed, why it’s happened, and what needs doing to stabilise it.
3) Repair / parts plan
Where possible we repair there and then. If parts are required, we arrange the quickest follow-up.
4) Test & prevent repeats
We prove heating/hot water performance and advise on service timing, inhibitors and filtration.
