Boiler Troubles

Problems with boilers are a real inconvenience especially if they occur during the winter months (for obvious reasons). And can affect you in different ways. The faults can range from the control system which includes things like the thermostatic control/timer and even the valves and pipework. Regular servicing can be a great help, making sure that the various parts are in good shape. This can be carried out by you or by a professional like Leytonstone Plumbers with specialist boiler knowledge and relevant tools.

This list of possible defects can be endless and run an amateur round in circles so a pro would be the best idea. The components are really quite specialized on modern boilers and need understanding. A trained plumber like a Leytonstone Plumber carries the correct tools and can methodically fault find, diagnose and repair any plumbing issues that occur on an appliance. He will also recommend and carry out a regular servicing plan designed for your system. But if you think you have a boiler problem you can actually visually inspect for things like corrosion, leaks and faulty dials, but strongly consider the services of the professional to do the work, as their work will carry a bone fide guarantee.

Below are a few reasons that you may experience problems with your central heating boiler and its system:

a). A leak in pipework including valves and radiators will cause a drop in system pressure and that will knock on to the boiler control.

b). Corrosion inside pipework caused by a build up of sludge.

c). Old out of date monitoring and control equipment such as thermostats will affect performance and efficiency.

d). If someone leaves their property empty over an extended period of time, it will tend to be difficult to revive, just like a lot of things, your car perhaps?
