Do this now, while you wait
- Note the fault code and the makeIt's the difference between an engineer arriving with the right part and arriving with a van full of guesses.
- Try one reset, onceA single reset after a pressure top-up is fine. Repeated resetting of a boiler that keeps locking out can mask a real fault; twice is enough.
- Check the simple thingsCredit on a prepay meter, the timer after a power cut, the thermostat batteries. No shame in it, it's a meaningful share of winter callouts.
- Soot, smells or a CO alarm, stop everythingTurn the boiler off, open windows, call 0800 111 999. Carbon monoxide outranks heating.
The usual causes
- 01Low system pressure
The most common lockout, and if it recurs, the pressure is going somewhere: a weep, a radiator valve, an expansion vessel.
- 02Frozen condensate
The signature cold-snap failure; five minutes with warm water fixes it, lagging prevents it.
- 03Component wear
Pumps, diverter valves, fans and PCBs fail with age, mostly repairable same-day on mainstream brands.
- 04Scale and sludge
Hard water scales the heat exchanger; dirty systems sludge it. Both starve the boiler slowly and kill it young.
