Leaking
If you notice water leaking from your boiler unit, or from the pipes, it's important that you do not attempt any repairs yourself. It could be due to an internal part which came loose due to incorrect installation or corrosion, and should only be replaced by a qualified engineer.
No Heat or Hot Water
This is perhaps the most obvious sign that your boiler is having problems. This can be caused by several issues, such as a faulty thermostat or other broken parts. This can cause a major inconvenience in the colder winter season so it's important that you call us without delay.
No/Uneven Heat in the Radiator
If you don't notice any other symptoms, it's likely that there could be something wrong with the radiator itself, such as a build up of rust and sludge. Rather than repairing the boiler, you might only need to flush or bleed the problematic radiator.
Types of boilers
The three most common types of boilers you may find in the UK are combi boilers, regular heat-only gas boilers and system boilers. Each has its unique heating uses and specific benefits.
System Boilers
System boilers provide the space-saving of the combi boiler with the capacity of a conventional heat-only gas boiler. The boiler itself contains many of the external components found in traditional gas boiler heating systems.
System boilers can then provide hot water to multiple places in your home, as well as heating, without the need for a cold water tank in your loft. However, they are expensive to install and, like conventional gas boilers, will lose heat from the water when not used.
Regular Boilers
Conventional heat-only gas boiler systems can provide multiple tasks with hot water all at once. Unlike combi boilers, they have components external to the boiler itself, such as a water tank in the loft or a circulation pump.
In this type of gas boiler, a hot water coil or storage tank will store the water, so you will need to actively heat the water before using it, meaning a conventional gas boiler can not provide you with hot water as quickly as a combi boiler can.
Combi Boilers
Combi boilers are the most popular form of boiler in the UK. They provide hot water on demand, yet they are not the best boiler for all situations.
While a combi boiler is compact and neat, with no need for an expansion tank, it can only service one task at a time with hot water. Combi boilers also contain many parts, meaning more can go wrong.

Benefits of regular boiler servicing
When it comes to your boiler's health, prevention is the best form of defence. Catching minor boiler issues before they can develop into significant and expensive problems is the best way to care for your boiler. And what is the best way to catch these issues early? With regular boiler servicing, of course. Hampshire Emergency Plumbing and Heating offers professional boiler servicing to local customers in Southampton and those throughout the surrounding areas of Hampshire.
All boilers gather debris and deposits over time as they work. Once these deposits build up enough, they can prevent your boiler from working properly. Regular servicing can help keep these deposits to a minimum, ensuring your boiler stays in the best condition. Other benefits of regular boiler servicing include:
- Increased safety - carbon monoxide leaks are one of the biggest threats boilers can pose to your safety. Roughly 200 people every year suffer carbon monoxide poisoning in the UK, with one person every week dying from exposure. Therefore, you should have your boiler regularly serviced to keep you and your family safe.
- Reliability - when the winter months roll in, the last thing you need is your boiler giving up on you out of the blue. This is very common in the winter, given that your boiler will be working overtime to heat your home. To prevent this, call on Hampshire Emergency Plumbing and Heating to conduct your regular boiler services. If your boiler is already experiencing issues, our Gas Safe registered boiler engineers also offer an emergency boiler repair service from our base in Southampton.
- Fuel efficiency - properly maintained and serviced boilers burn fuel more efficiently than those left to fall into disrepair. Our team at Hampshire Emergency Plumbing and Heating will assess all of the working components of your boiler to ensure it operates at the most efficient level. This will help you save on your monthly bills and prolong the life of your boiler.
Our boiler services also include a 24/7 emergency boiler repair and inspection service for clients throughout the surrounding areas of Southampton. We can conduct all aspects of boiler maintenance, from cleaning to corrosion and poisonous emissions checks, flue tests, and pressure checks.
