Boiler Engineer

Yes — most Gas Safe registered boiler engineers also handle radiator repairs, replacements, and balancing. Common radiator issues include cold spots (usually trapped air), leaking valves, and radiators that do not heat up due to sludge buildup. Radiator repairs typically cost £60 to £150, while fitting a new radiator including the unit costs £150 to £350.

Boiler error codes vary by manufacturer but typically indicate a specific fault — low pressure, ignition failure, fan fault, or overheating. Check your boiler manual or search for your boiler make and model plus the error code online. Some codes like low pressure (often E119 or F1) can be fixed yourself by repressurising, while others such as ignition lockout require a Gas Safe registered engineer.

If you smell gas, do not touch any electrical switches, do not light any flames, and open all windows and doors immediately. Turn off the gas supply at the meter using the emergency control valve — turn the handle so it sits across the pipe. Leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 from outside. Do not re-enter until given the all-clear.

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.

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.
