No heating or hot water
Often the diverter valve, the pump, a thermostat or low pressure. I check each one properly, so the part I replace is the part that failed.

Boiler broken in Chorley? Let me find out why first.
When a boiler fails, the temptation is to call whoever can come first and let them start swapping parts. That is how a small fault turns into a big bill. I test to find what has actually gone, then tell you what it will take. Often it is one part. Occasionally the honest answer is that the boiler has had its day.
No heat or hot water? Ring and I will give you a realistic time I can get to Chorley.

What I do
The faults I see most.
A boiler that has stopped is rarely beyond saving. These are the problems behind most of the Chorley call outs I get.
Pressure keeps dropping
If you are refilling it every few days, water is escaping somewhere: a weeping valve, a radiator, or the relief pipe outside. I trace the leak so you can stop topping it up.
Locking out or cutting out
Fires up, gives up and shows a code. The code is a starting point, not a diagnosis, so I look at the gas supply, flue, condensate pipe and sensors as well as the boiler itself.
Noises and leaks
Kettling, banging and gurgling usually mean sludge or poor circulation in the system. Water dripping from the boiler case is different, and needs switching off and looking at soon.
Wondering if it is worth fixing at all? Describe what it is doing on the phone and I will give you my honest view. 07949 353536.
How I cover Chorley
Repair or replace, told to you straight.
I would rather lose a repair job than sell you one that fails again by Christmas. When a boiler is worn out across the board, patching one part only moves the next breakdown a few weeks down the line, and you deserve to know that before paying for it.
I come down to Chorley from Preston, look at the boiler, and give you the price before touching it. The engineer who works out the fault is the same one who puts it right.

Repeat customer
Great tradesman and someone I would highly recommend. He's done plenty of work for both myself and my family over the years and the standard has always been excellent. Hardworking, punctual, reliable, and always communicates well throughout the job. Turns up when he says he will and gets the work done properly. Which is hard to find these days. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a quality plumber.

Straight answers
Chorley questions answered straight.
- Why has my boiler stopped giving heating and hot water?
- The usual causes are low system pressure, a failed diverter valve or pump, a faulty thermostat, or a frozen condensate pipe in cold weather. Check the pressure gauge first. If that looks normal and the boiler still will not work, Dan tests the components to find the one that has failed.
- How do I know if my boiler is beyond repair?
- The warning signs are repeated breakdowns close together, parts that are no longer made or cost a large share of a new boiler, and a leaking heat exchanger. If Dan sees those he will say so and explain why. If a repair is the sensible option, he will recommend that instead.
- Will I know the cost before the repair starts?
- Yes. Dan looks at the boiler, explains what has gone wrong and quotes for the repair, and nothing is done until you have said yes. It helps to ring 07949 353536 first and describe the fault or code, as that often points to the likely cause.
