How We Trace an Intermittent Fault

We work through the system in order: gas pressure at the meter and the appliance, water pressure and flow, then the electrical side. Testing in sequence rules causes out one at a time instead of jumping to the part that fails most often.

Faults That Are Not the Boiler

Plenty of call outs turn out to be a thermostat, a wiring centre, a seized zone valve or a blocked condensate pipe. The boiler gets the blame because it is the thing that stopped. Checking the whole system avoids replacing a working boiler.

A Clear Explanation, Then a Decision

When we find the cause we tell you what it is, what caused it and what the options are, in plain terms. If there is a cheaper route that will hold for a season and a more permanent fix, you get both and choose.

Frequently Asked Questions

My boiler works sometimes and not others. What is wrong?

Intermittent faults usually point to a component failing when hot, a loose electrical connection, or a condensate pipe that freezes or blocks in cold weather. It needs testing while the fault is present, so tell us when it tends to happen.

How much does boiler fault finding cost in Kingston upon Thames?

We charge for the diagnostic visit and tell you the rate before booking. If the fault turns out to be something we can repair on the spot, the diagnosis time forms part of the job rather than being charged twice.

Can you find a fault another engineer could not?

Often, yes. A fresh approach and a methodical test sequence catch things that get missed when a fault is assumed rather than proven. Tell us what has already been replaced so we can start from what is known rather than from the beginning.
