Boiler breakdown repair (no heat / no hot water)
Same-day diagnostics where possible. Low pressure, ignition faults, leaks, kettling/noise, error codes, radiators not heating — we find the cause and fix it safely.
Plumber & Boiler Services in Hackney
Same-day help across E5 / E8 / E9 / N1
Hackney jobs are rarely “simple on paper”. Converted flats off Mare Street, tight boiler cupboards in Dalston, rented terraces around Clapton, and modern blocks near the canals — and the problems change with the setup. If your boiler’s gone cold, pressure keeps dropping, or you’ve got a leak that’s getting worse, call and you’ll speak to a real working engineer (not a call centre).
If you’re near Hackney Central, London Fields or stuck on Mare Street with no hot water, call +44 7727 154746 and we’ll tell you what’s realistic today.
What we actually see in Hackney homes (and why systems fail)
Hackney has a proper mix: Victorian terraces around Stoke Newington and Clapton, flat conversions in Dalston and Hoxton, and newer blocks around Hackney Wick / the canals. That matters because boiler failures are usually linked to the layout: old pipework, neglected systems, shared flues in conversions, or poor circulation from sludge.
The most common Hackney call-outs we get: pressure dropping (often a slow leak), radiators half hot / half cold, boilers locking out on cold nights (condensate issues), and “it worked yesterday” breakdowns when a component finally gives up.
Abdul is Gas Safe registered (626557) and you’re dealing with a proper working team. We diagnose properly, explain what failed, and fix it safely. If it’s beyond repair, we’ll say it straight.

Quick checks that save time (Hackney edition)
If you’re by the boiler right now:
1) Pressure below ~1 bar? That alone can cause “no heat / no hot water”.
2) Error code showing? Take a photo before resetting.
3) Smell gas? Don’t troubleshoot — call the National Gas Emergency line.

Boiler breakdown repair, replacement & servicing in Hackney
We do full plumbing, but Hackney borough pages stay focused: most local calls are boiler-led. People aren’t browsing for fun — they want heat back quickly, or they’re planning a replacement and want it done properly.
Boiler installation / boiler replacement
Clean installs, correct sizing, proper commissioning, and a neat finish. If you’re comparing options, we’ll explain what makes sense for your home — not sell you whatever’s easiest.
Boiler servicing (done properly)
Safety + performance checks, not a 10-minute “tick box”. Servicing catches the small failures that turn into winter breakdowns.
Leaks, pressure drops & heating-side plumbing
If pressure keeps dropping, there’s usually a reason. We handle valves, radiators, pipework leaks and the hidden issues behind unstable systems. If you’re seeing water under the unit, start here: why boilers start leaking water.
If you can’t see a leak but the boiler keeps losing pressure, professional leak detection if pressure keeps dropping can locate concealed faults before they turn into major damage.
And if the issue is actually electrical (fused spur, trips, wiring faults), we also cover electrical fault finding so you’re not stuck coordinating two companies.

If you’re near Dalston Junction, Hackney Downs or by Broadway Market with no hot water — call now and we’ll confirm the fastest realistic slot.
Boiler replacement cost in Hackney — what actually changes the quote
The borough name doesn’t change the price — the system does. A straightforward combi swap in a simple flat is one job. A conversion (system/regular to combi), pipework upgrades, tricky flue routes, or multiple bathrooms is a completely different job.
So we don’t dump random numbers on a local page. We keep the proper breakdown here: boiler prices & installation explained (London).

Areas we cover inside Hackney
We’re in Hackney constantly, so here’s the real coverage — places we’re actually called into every week:
Hackney Central
Mare Street jobs, flat conversions, and “no heat” breakdowns that need quick, proper diagnosis.
Dalston
Busy roads, busy blocks. Common: pressure drops, thermostat/control issues, and neglected systems.
Stoke Newington
Older housing stock. Servicing and circulation problems (sludge / balancing) come up a lot.
Clapton
Terraces + rentals. We often see leaks on valves and radiators causing repeated pressure loss.
Homerton
Mixed estates and newer builds. We see a lot of “it keeps cutting out” issues from underlying faults.
London Fields / Broadway Market
Converted flats and tight installs. Proper access and safe work matters here.
Hoxton / De Beauvoir Town
Older pipework, modern controls, and misdiagnosed faults. We trace the real cause.
Hackney Wick
Modern blocks and fast moving schedules — we plan routes and keep ETAs realistic.
Route reality (not fluff): we’re usually moving along Mare Street, Kingsland Road (A10), and the main runs around Dalston Lane / Clapton. That’s why same-day in Hackney is often achievable.
Hackney boiler & plumbing questions
Do you do same-day boiler repairs in Hackney?
Often, yes — Hackney is a core service area for us. If we can’t do same-day, we’ll give you the earliest realistic slot straight away.
My boiler has no heating and no hot water — what’s the first thing you check?
Pressure, power, and whether it’s locking out for a reason. Low pressure is common, but it’s not always the root cause — sometimes it’s a leak or a part failing slowly. If you call, we can guide you for 30 seconds before booking anything.
My boiler keeps losing pressure — is it definitely a leak?
A leak is common, but not the only cause. It could be a radiator valve, a hidden pipe seep, the PRV discharging, or expansion vessel issues. If you’re seeing damp patches, start with damp and leak detection so we can locate it properly.
How much is a new boiler installed?
It depends on your system and the work required (swap vs conversion). We keep the full breakdown here: boiler installation cost guide.
Do you service boilers in Hackney?
Yes. Proper servicing helps prevent winter lockouts and catches safety/performance issues early — especially in older systems.
Are you Gas Safe registered?
Yes — Abdul is Gas Safe registered. Number: 626557.
