Boiler Repair Paignton
No heat, no hot water, or a boiler that keeps locking out
We repair gas boilers in Paignton homes, flats, holiday lets and guest houses, combi, system and regular. Our Gas Safe engineers find the fault, tell you what it is in plain English and agree the price with you before any repair starts.
Boiler repair in Paignton
Boiler repair in Paignton is often an urgent call made for an older relative rather than for yourself. If your mum or dad lives alone in one of the streets off Kings Ash Road, a cold house can quickly turn into a health worry. Torbay Council's keeping warm advice suggests keeping the living room at 21°C and the rest of the house at 18°C, and asks people to watch for signs someone is struggling, like curtains closed all day. Flats around Church Street and Palace Avenue, or near the Green on the seafront, can have the boiler tucked in a cupboard with little room to work, so tell us where it sits when you call. If you're ringing on someone else's behalf, say so, and we will keep you both updated.
We sort boiler breakdowns in Blagdon, Collaton St Mary, Polsham and around the harbour.
Homes and heating systems
Repair calls here come mainly from gas combis in flats and bungalows, and from system boilers with cylinders in guest houses and bigger period houses. Older bungalows sometimes have pipework set into concrete floors, and seafront buildings can have flues and fittings worn by the weather, both of which shape how we track down faults.

Repairs we are called out for most
No hot water at breakfast
In guest houses the hot water tends to fail at the busiest time. Common causes are a failed cylinder thermostat, a motorised valve that has stuck or an immersion back-up that has stopped working. We find which one it is and get the hot water running again.
Corroded parts near the front
Salt air and damp can corrode flue terminals and electrical connections on boilers in homes close to the sea. That can lead to sensor and ignition faults, so on these calls we check the flue and terminal condition while we are fixing the fault itself.
Hidden leaks in bungalow floors
Bungalows often have heating pipes buried in a concrete floor. When the pressure keeps dropping with no visible leak, a buried pipe is one of the suspects. We rule out valves and the boiler first, then talk you through options such as rerouting pipework above the floor.

Help us fix it faster
When you call, tell us the boiler make, any fault code on the display and what has stopped: heating, hot water or both. Say if the pressure gauge is low. It means the engineer can bring the likely parts and has a better chance of fixing it on the first visit.
If it is a guest house or holiday let with people staying, say so straight away so we can treat it as urgent. Leave instructions for whoever will let us in, and ask guests not to keep resetting the boiler, because repeated resets can hide the fault. If the hot water is down, an electric immersion heater, where one is fitted, can cover you until the repair.
Keep a note of your last service date. A boiler that has missed a few services is more likely to have a blocked condensate trap or a dirty burner. If breakdowns are becoming a habit, our boiler cover page explains how an annual plan works.

Boiler installation PaigntonBoiler Repair Paignton FAQs
The pressure gauge on my boiler keeps dropping. Is that serious?
It usually means a small leak, a faulty pressure relief valve or an expansion vessel that needs recharging. Topping it up gets you going, but if you are doing it every week, a heating engineer should find the cause before it damages the boiler.
Do you take emergency boiler repair calls?
Yes. Our emergency boiler repair page sets out what to do straight away. If you smell gas, leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency number on 0800 111 999.
Can you repair a boiler in a holiday flat while guests are staying?
Yes. We arrange a time with you or your cleaner, keep the visit short and tidy, and explain any follow-up work to you rather than the guests.
The boiler keeps cutting out and the display flashes. What can I check?
Check the pressure first, then whether the gas is on at the meter and your other gas appliances work. Press reset once. If it locks out again, leave it off and call us with the fault code ready. Resetting it again and again can hide what is wrong and sometimes makes it worse.
Is it safe to use an electric heater while the boiler is broken?
Yes, a modern electric heater is fine as a stopgap. Keep it clear of curtains and furniture and never dry clothes on it. Do not use a gas cooker or oven to heat a room, as they are not designed for it and can push up carbon monoxide levels.
