Why breakdown cover is useful

Most households don’t plan for an unexpected boiler fault — it just happens, usually when the weather turns. Cover helps by turning “what’s this going to cost?” into a regular monthly amount, with a defined process for getting it sorted.

It can also be a good fit if you’ve had more than one niggle recently (pressure issues, noisy operation, intermittent hot water) and you’d rather not keep paying one-off call-outs.

Typical breakdown moments
Lockouts, no heating, hot water failing mid-use, pressure loss, leaks, and odd boiler noises.
Helps most when paired with
Annual servicing and good system water (inhibitor + clean radiators) to reduce sludge-related failures.

Farnborough considerations

In Farnborough we regularly see a mix of older heating circuits alongside newer combi upgrades. Common complaints include radiators warming unevenly, gurgling/air noise, frequent pressure top-ups, and hot water that starts hot then cools off. Where condensate routes run externally, cold snaps can trigger nuisance lockouts.

Early warning signs
Kettling, slow heat-up, repeated resets, ignition faults and intermittent error codes.
Fast way to choose
Think about what you want protected: boiler only, or the wider heating system too.

Boiler cover tiers

Use the guide below to choose your cover level. Begin with boiler-only protection, then step up if you want your heating system included — and the top tiers can also cover wider home essentials such as plumbing & electrics.

Quick help choosing a tier

The easiest way to pick is to match cover to your risk level. A tidy, modern setup often suits boiler-only cover, while older pipework or ongoing heating quirks can justify broader protection. If you’re not sure, start with the essentials and upgrade later.

Newer boiler / fewer issues
Boiler-only is a good baseline when the heating system is in good condition.
Older system / repeat faults
Moving up a tier can reduce the chance of paying for common system components unexpectedly.
Radiators not performing
If you’ve got cold spots or noisy circulation, system-level cover is often the better match.

Book a repair — we’ll diagnose and explain costs clearly before proceeding.

FAQs

Is a service the same as breakdown cover?
No — a service is preventative maintenance. Cover is there for repairs when something fails.
What if my boiler is already faulty?
Most plans won’t cover existing faults. Book a repair first, then we can advise the best tier going forward.
Does cover include radiators and pipework?
It depends on the tier. The guide above shows what’s included at each level.
How do I sign up?
