Warning signs include a yellow or orange boiler flame instead of blue, dark staining around the boiler, increased condensation on windows, and a pilot light that frequently goes out. Symptoms of carbon monoxide exposure include headaches, dizziness, nausea and confusion. If you suspect a carbon monoxide leak, open windows, leave the property immediately and call the Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999. Fit a CO alarm near your boiler — they cost under £20 and save lives.

Check the obvious things first: is the thermostat set correctly, is the timer on, and has the boiler pressure dropped below 1 bar? If the pressure is low, you can repressurise it yourself using the filling loop — your boiler manual will show you how. If none of these fix the problem, call a Gas Safe registered boiler engineer in Aylsham immediately and use electric heaters as a temporary measure.

Our boiler engineers in Aylsham work on all major brands including Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Baxi, Ideal, Viessmann, Glow-worm, and Potterton. Many are manufacturer-approved installers, meaning they can offer extended warranties on new installations. If you have a less common boiler brand, let us know and we will match you with an engineer who has experience with your specific model.

A leaking boiler should always be taken seriously. While a small drip from a pressure relief valve may indicate a minor issue, water leaking from the boiler casing can damage internal electrics and create a safety hazard. Turn off the boiler and the water supply to it, place a container under the leak, and call a Gas Safe registered engineer. Never attempt to repair a boiler leak yourself.

An annual boiler service in Aylsham costs between £60 and £100. This includes a full safety inspection, flue gas analysis, and checking all components are working correctly. Most manufacturers require an annual service to keep your warranty valid, so skipping it could leave you with no cover if your boiler breaks down.

CORGI was the old gas safety registration body in the UK, replaced by the Gas Safe Register in 2009. Any engineer still claiming to be CORGI registered is either out of date or misleading you. The Gas Safe Register is now the only legally recognised body for gas work in the UK. Always check the Gas Safe Register website to verify your engineer's credentials.
