Common Boiler Faults We Diagnose and Repair
No heating
Boiler firing but radiators not heating — could be a pump, diverter valve, or controls fault.
No hot water
Hot water not working from taps or shower — often a diverter valve or thermostat issue on combi boilers.
Boiler losing pressure
Pressure dropping repeatedly — usually indicates a leak in the system or at the boiler itself.
Leaks
Water leaking from the boiler body or nearby pipework connections — needs prompt investigation.
Fault codes showing
Boiler displaying an error code — the code is diagnosed and the underlying fault investigated.
Radiators not heating evenly
Some rooms hot, others cold — could be a balancing issue, a stuck valve, or pump problem.
Strange noises
Banging, kettling, gurgling or whistling — often caused by limescale build-up, air in the system or a failing component.
Pilot light problems
Pilot light keeps going out or won't ignite — may relate to the thermocouple, gas supply or ignition component.
Gas fire or back boiler issues
Gas fire cutting out, not lighting or burning poorly — servicing and repair available for gas fires and back boilers.

Boiler Repairs — Frequently Asked Questions
My boiler has stopped working — what should I do?
First, check the basics: is the boiler switched on, is the pressure within the normal range (usually 1–1.5 bar), and are there any fault codes showing on the display? If it's a simple pressure issue you can repressurise the system yourself by following your boiler's instructions. If there's a fault code, make a note of it and call Bettess Gas — the code helps narrow down the fault quickly.
Can you come out for a boiler breakdown in Watton?
Yes. Bettess Gas covers Watton and the surrounding area for boiler repairs and breakdown diagnostics. Call on 07793 797770 to discuss what's happened and arrange a visit.
My boiler is losing pressure — is that serious?
Occasional pressure drops can happen, but if your boiler keeps losing pressure and needs topping up frequently, there's likely a leak somewhere in the system — either at the boiler itself or in the pipework. It's worth having it looked at, as the underlying fault won't fix itself.
The boiler is running but the radiators aren't heating up — what's wrong?
This could be a number of things: a faulty diverter valve (on a combi boiler), an issue with the pump, air in the system, or a problem with the controls. A diagnosis visit will identify the cause.
Is it worth repairing an old boiler or should I replace it?
It depends on the boiler's age, the cost of the repair and the overall condition of the system. If the boiler is relatively modern and the fault is straightforward, repair is usually the right choice. If the boiler is old, unreliable and the repair is expensive, replacement may make more sense. Bettess Gas will give you an honest view of the options.
Do you cover emergency boiler breakdowns?
Call 07793 797770 and explain the situation. Bettess Gas will do its best to arrange a visit promptly. If it's a gas safety issue rather than a boiler breakdown — for example, if you can smell gas — call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 immediately.
