How to Know If You Need a Boiler Repair

How to Know If You Need a Boiler Repair

When your boiler starts acting up, it’s easy to dismiss minor issues — until they turn into costly emergencies. At A&C Heating and Plumbing Ltd, we specialise in fast and affordable boiler repair services in Shepherd’s Bush.
In this guide, we’ll show you the clear signs that your boiler needs professional attention.

Why Timely Boiler Repairs Are Crucial

Ignoring boiler problems can lead to:

  • Expensive breakdowns

  • Higher energy bills

  • Unsafe living conditions (e.g., carbon monoxide leaks)

  • Shortened boiler lifespan

Spotting early signs of trouble can save you money, time, and stress.

Top Signs You Need a Boiler Repair

1. Unusual Noises Coming from Your Boiler

Hearing banging, whistling, or gurgling sounds?
These noises can signal air in the system, limescale build-up, or failing components. A noisy boiler shouldn’t be ignored.

👉 Tip: Call our Shepherd’s Bush boiler repair experts before small issues escalate into a full breakdown.

2. No Hot Water or Heating

If your radiators stay cold or there’s no hot water, there could be a problem with:

  • The thermostat

  • The pilot light

  • The pressure levels

  • The internal valves

We can diagnose and repair all major boiler faults on-site, ensuring your heating is restored quickly.

3. Water Leaks Around the Boiler

A leaking boiler is a red flag. It could mean:

  • Internal corrosion

  • Loose joints

  • Broken seals

Ignoring leaks can damage your boiler and your home. Book an emergency boiler repair immediately if you notice any water pooling around your system.

4. Boiler Switching Itself Off

If your boiler shuts down unexpectedly, it might be caused by:

  • Low pressure

  • A thermostat error

  • Blocked pipes

  • Pump failure

Our boiler engineers in Shepherd’s Bush can quickly identify the cause and get your system back to full working order.

5. Pilot Light Keeps Going Out

Older boilers often have a standing pilot light. If it keeps extinguishing:

  • The thermocouple might be broken

  • There could be a draught

  • The gas supply could be disrupted

These issues require a qualified Gas Safe engineer to fix safely.
