We treat no-heat calls as a priority, because we know most people aren't ringing us for fun, they're ringing because they need it sorted. We start with the basics: is the thermostat set right, has a breaker tripped, is the boiler actually getting power and gas. From there we work through the boiler and system methodically, checking ignition, sensors, pumps, valves and pressure until we've found what's actually wrong, not just papered over a symptom. > A cold house needs a fast, straight answer, not guesswork. Once we know the fault, we'll explain it in plain English, what's caused it, what it'll take to fix, and roughly what it'll cost, before any work starts. Most faults, whether that's a stuck valve, a faulty sensor, a control board issue or simply low pressure, get sorted there and then on the same visit. More information Sometimes a no-heat call turns up something bigger, an old boiler that's on its last legs, or a system that's had one problem after another. When that happens we won't just patch it and move on, we'll tell you honestly whether it's still worth repairing or whether replacement is the better long-term option, and we'll explain why either way. > Proper diagnosis first, and honest advice, is what keeps heating problems from coming back. We cover Woodingdean and the whole of Brighton & Hove, along with Lewes, Shoreham-by-Sea, Haywards Heath, Seaford, Worthing and Burgess Hill. As a Gas Safe registered, Vaillant-accredited team working on domestic systems, we're used to fitting into people's homes without disruption, and leaving things clean and working properly. Once your heating's back on, we'll also flag any simple maintenance that will help stop the same fault happening again, and whether it's worth booking in an annual service. If your heating's gone off and you're not sure why, get in touch and we'll talk it through before arranging a visit. ### No heat right now?

We treat no-heat calls as a priority, particularly where there are children, older people or health conditions involved in the household. Call us and tell us what's happening, and we'll give you an honest idea of when we can get to you rather than promise a window we can't hold. What do you check first? We start with the simple things, thermostat settings, power supply and breakers, before moving on to boiler-specific checks like ignition, pressure and sensors. Will you tell me the cost before starting work? Yes. Once we've diagnosed the fault, we'll explain what's wrong and what it'll cost to fix before we do any work, so there are no surprises. Can you fix it in one visit? Most no-heat faults are sorted on the same visit. Occasionally a part needs ordering in, in which case we'll tell you straight away and arrange a follow-up as soon as it's in. Are you qualified to work on my boiler? Yes, we're Gas Safe registered for domestic gas work and an accredited Vaillant installer, so you're covered whatever the make of your boiler. Should I try anything myself before calling? It's fine to check the thermostat, breakers and any isolation switches, but anything involving gas, electrics or the boiler's internals is best left to us, for safety reasons. What if my boiler turns out to be beyond repair? If that's the case we'll say so plainly, and talk through whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation, with no pressure either way. Do you cover my area? We work across Brighton & Hove, Woodingdean, Lewes, Shoreham-by-Sea, Haywards Heath, Seaford, Worthing and Burgess Hill. ## Heating gone off?
