When it’s urgent (and we’ll prioritise it)
People search “emergency boiler repair near me” when the home is cooling down or the boiler keeps locking out. These are the situations we treat as urgent:
No heating and the property is getting cold (especially vulnerable households)
No hot water (common urgent call in flats and family homes)
Boiler leaking / rapid pressure drop / water around the boiler
Repeated lockouts / error codes / boiler turns on then shuts off
Safety first: if you smell gas or a carbon monoxide alarm is sounding, don’t wait — make the area safe and call the emergency gas line.
Then call us for the follow-up repair and checks.
If you’re here because you searched boiler repair near me, it’s usually the same story:
the heating has dropped, someone’s pressed reset a few times, and now you just want a straight answer.

What we fix (urgent breakdowns + recurring faults)
A proper boiler repair starts with proving what’s wrong — not guessing. These are the issues we see daily across London flats, terraces and rentals.
Boiler losing pressure
The “keeps dropping” problem — PRV behaviour, expansion vessel issues, hidden leaks, filling loop mistakes.
If you’re seeing moisture under the unit or pressure loss, this explains why boilers start leaking water. If the issue isn’t visible, professional leak detection if pressure keeps dropping can identify concealed pipework faults before breakdown occurs.
Why pressure keeps fallingLeaks & water around the boiler
What to do immediately and what it usually means (PRV pipe vs internal leak vs condensate).
What to do about a leakBanging, kettling, whistling
Noises that are just annoying vs noises that are warning you something’s about to fail.

When people call for an emergency boiler repair, the biggest problem is usually uncertainty: “Is it safe?”, “Is it a quick fix?”, “How fast can someone get here?” That’s why we do two things well: proper fault-finding and straight answers.
We’ll ask for the boiler make/model, any fault code, and what happened before it failed. Then we’ll give you a realistic ETA (London traffic is what it is) and explain what’s likely going on.
If a repair doesn’t make sense (age, repeated failures, parts viability), we’ll say it and point you toward proper boiler installation options without the hard sell. If you’re researching replacement costs, this guide helps: new boiler cost & installation in London.

Boiler repair FAQs
How fast can you get to me for an emergency boiler repair?
We’re open 24/7 (Mon–Sun). Availability depends on the day and where we are in London, but we’ll prioritise true “no heating / no hot water” situations and give a realistic ETA. If you can, tell us the boiler make/model, any fault code, and what happened before it stopped.
Do you cover my area for boiler repairs?
We mainly cover Newham, Tower Hamlets, Hackney, Waltham Forest, Redbridge and Barking & Dagenham, and we’re based in Forest Gate (E7). We regularly attend E-postcodes plus IG and RM ranges listed above.
My boiler keeps turning off. Should I keep pressing reset?
Reset once only. If it locks out again, don’t keep resetting it — it can make diagnosis harder and sometimes worsens the issue. Use our lockout and error code guide then call with the details.
What should I do right now if I have no heating / no hot water?
Start with these quick checks (pressure, thermostat/programmer, frozen condensate signs). If it doesn’t recover or you’re unsure it’s safe, call us and we’ll advise.
What does a boiler repair normally cost in London?
Costs vary by fault, parts, access, and timing. We’ll give an estimated price on the phone where possible, then confirm it after diagnosis once the fault is proven. For ranges and cost drivers, see: boiler repair cost in London.
