Guildford-specific repair focus

Across GU1–GU4, water is typically classed as very hard. In areas such as Merrow, Burpham, Onslow Village, Stoke Park, Wood Street and the town centre, limescale is a common driver of breakdowns — especially on combi boilers.

When we attend repairs in Guildford, we pay close attention to scale-related symptoms (kettling, hot water swings, reduced flow), plus pressure and circulation issues that often appear in older systems.

Common in Guildford
Kettling, hot water temperature swings, pressure drops, noisy pumps, scaled plate heat exchangers, blocked condensate runs.
Homes we regularly see
Victorian terraces, 1930s semis, and higher-use modern apartments around central Guildford.

Before you book (safe quick checks)

No heating / no hot water
Check thermostat settings, programmer times, and if the boiler has a visible fault code.
Low pressure
If it’s below ~1 bar, it may need repressurising (only if you’re confident and it’s safe to do so).
Frozen condensate
In cold snaps, a frozen condensate pipe can stop the boiler firing — common on external runs.
Leaks / water near boiler
Turn the boiler off and book in — leaks can damage components quickly if left running.

We work on combi, system and regular boilers. After diagnosis, we’ll explain what failed, why it failed, and the most sensible repair route.

Pressure faults
Leaking PRV, expansion vessel issues, pinhole leaks, worn seals or valves.
Hot water issues (combi)
Plate heat exchanger scaling, diverter valve faults, flow sensor issues.

Ignition components, sensors, gas valve control, fan/APS related problems.

What happens on a repair visit

Repairs are handled in a structured way: diagnose, confirm options, then fix. If a repair isn’t viable, we’ll tell you straight and help you plan the next step.

1) Diagnosis first
We identify the cause (not just the symptom) and check safety-critical items.
2) Clear options
You’ll get a clear explanation and the best route: repair, protect, or replace.
3) Repair & test
Where possible we repair on-site, then test operation and confirm stable performance.
4) Next steps
Advice on prevention: servicing schedule, inhibitor/filters, and risk items to watch.
Boiler Repair in Guildford – FAQs
Can you fix no heating / no hot water?
Yes — we diagnose the cause (controls, components, pressure, ignition) and repair where viable.
My boiler is losing pressure — what does it mean?
Often a leak, PRV, expansion vessel fault, or worn internal seals. We’ll pinpoint the exact cause.
Do you repair combi, system and regular boilers?
Yes — we cover all common domestic boiler types across Guildford and GU postcodes.
Should I repair or replace?
If repairs are frequent or the boiler is near end-of-life, replacement can be better value. We’ll advise honestly.
