Explain which part of the system is affected

Say whether the problem affects one radiator, several rooms or all of the heating. Mention a visible leak at a radiator or valve, a control display that looks different, or a pattern you have noticed.

If both heating and hot water have stopped, or the boiler shows a fault code, boiler repair may be the relevant service. The no-heating or hot-water guide helps you describe the symptoms without diagnosing the cause yourself.

Repair scope follows the fault

John can discuss radiator, valve and control problems and uneven heating. An inspection may be needed before the cause and work required are clear.

Do not remove covers, adjust electrical connections or keep resetting a fault. If water is escaping, see water-leak repair and keep clear of wet electrics. Observations should be non-invasive and safe.
