First, We Need To Know What The Boiler Is Doing
Is the display blank? Is there a fault code? Has the pressure dropped below 1 bar? Do you have hot water but no heating, or heating but no hot water ?
Small details matter. A boiler that has stopped working needs fault diagnosis, not a routine service. Tell us whether it is leaking, locking out, making unusual noises or firing briefly before cutting out.
| What You Notice | What It Might Point To |
|---|---|
| No heating or hot water | Lockout, ignition fault, pressure issue, pump problem or control fault |
| Pressure keeps dropping | System leak, expansion vessel problem, PRV discharge or an internal boiler fault |
| Boiler leaking | Seal, valve, pipework, heat exchanger or pressure-related issue |
| Fault code keeps returning | A detected fault that needs testing rather than repeated resets |
| Hot water but no heating | Controls, thermostat, pump, diverter valve or zone valve issue |
Emergency Boiler Problems We Repair In Croydon
These are some of the common urgent boiler faults we attend across Croydon, Thornton Heath, Norbury, Selhurst, Addiscombe, South Croydon, East Croydon and West Croydon.
No Heating
Cold radiators, heating not responding, or a boiler firing and then cutting out.
Standard Boiler Repairs CroydonNo Hot Water
Cold taps despite the boiler trying to run can point to a diverter valve, flow sensor or hot-water fault.
No Hot Water But Heating WorksBoiler Leaking
Leaks need checking quickly, especially when water is close to electrics or coming from inside the casing.
Boiler Leaking WaterPressure Keeps Dropping
Repeatedly topping up the boiler usually means a fault somewhere in the boiler or heating system.
Boiler Losing PressureFault Codes
A fault code can narrow the problem down, but the boiler still needs proper testing to confirm the cause.
Boiler Fault CodesBoiler Not Turning On
Blank screens, failed ignition, tripping electrics or a boiler that clicks without firing.
Boiler Not Turning OnEmergency Boiler Call-Out Process
We keep the process simple. Nobody wants a complicated booking system when the heating or hot water has gone off.
If You Smell Gas
If you smell gas, suspect a gas leak or feel unwell with possible carbon-monoxide symptoms, do not wait for a normal boiler repair visit.
Avoid flames and electrical switches, leave the property if needed and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999.

Emergency Boiler Repair Across Croydon
We provide urgent boiler fault diagnosis and repair across Croydon and nearby areas including South Croydon, East Croydon, West Croydon, Thornton Heath, Norbury, Selhurst, Addiscombe and Wallington.
When you call, tell us your postcode, boiler make and model, any fault code showing and whether you have heating, hot water or neither. That helps us understand the problem and confirm whether we can attend.
Same-day attendance is available where engineer capacity allows. We will give you the earliest realistic attendance time rather than promise a time we cannot keep.
Tell Us About Access When You Call
If the boiler is inside a flat, shared building or restricted-access property, let us know when booking. The same applies to parking restrictions, tenant access or a boiler fitted inside a tight cupboard.
These details do not diagnose the fault, but they can help us plan the visit properly and avoid delays when the engineer arrives.
Emergency Repair, Standard Repair, Service Or Replacement?
An emergency boiler repair is for a boiler that has suddenly failed, locked out, leaked, lost pressure or stopped providing heating or hot water and needs urgent attention.
If the fault is not urgent and you need normal diagnosis or a repair appointment, use our boiler repairs in Croydon page instead.
A boiler service is planned maintenance for a working appliance. For that, see our boiler servicing Croydon page.
If the boiler is unsafe, badly corroded, very old or uneconomical to repair, we will explain why. You can then compare repair with boiler replacement in Croydon or boiler installation in Croydon .

Ask About Your Boiler
Before You Call, Check These Quickly
Only carry out simple visual checks that feel safe. Do not remove the boiler cover and do not touch anything if you smell gas or see signs of burning.
- Check whether the boiler display is on.
- Write down or photograph any fault code.
- Check the pressure gauge if it is visible.
- Check whether the thermostat is calling for heat.
- Check the batteries if the thermostat is wireless.
- In freezing weather, look for signs that the external condensate pipe may be frozen.
- Send us a photograph of the boiler, display and pressure gauge on WhatsApp.
Emergency Boiler Repair Cost In Croydon
The cost depends on the fault, the boiler make and model, access, the time of the call and whether replacement parts are required.
A pressure or controls issue is very different from a failed pump, fan, PCB, diverter valve or heat exchanger.
Once the boiler has been checked, we explain what has failed, what needs doing and whether the repair is worth completing.
Because emergency repair pricing varies by the fault and the time of the call, contact us with the boiler make, model, fault code and your postcode. We can explain how the visit is priced before you book.
What Affects The Price?
- Boiler make, model and age
- The fault and time needed for diagnosis
- Whether the issue is inside the boiler or elsewhere in the system
- Whether replacement parts are required
- Access around the boiler
- Time of call and engineer availability
- Any additional safety issue found during testing

Do you offer emergency boiler repair in Croydon?
Yes. MPS Heating & Plumbing LTD provides emergency boiler repair across Croydon and nearby South London areas for no heating, no hot water, boiler leaks, low pressure, fault codes and boilers that will not turn on.
How quickly can an emergency boiler engineer attend?
Attendance depends on engineer availability, traffic and the time you call. We are open daily from 8am until 2am and provide same-day emergency boiler help where available.
Is a broken boiler an emergency?
It can be, particularly when there is no heating or hot water, vulnerable people are in the property, water is leaking from the boiler or the boiler repeatedly locks out. If you smell gas, call 0800 111 999 first.
What should I do if my boiler is leaking?
Turn the boiler off if it is safe, avoid touching electrics close to the leak and call an engineer. Do not remove the boiler casing.
Can you repair a boiler with no hot water?
Yes. No hot water can be connected to diverter-valve faults, plate heat-exchanger problems, flow sensors, thermistors, low pressure, ignition faults or controls.
Do you repair Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Ideal and Baxi boilers?
Yes. We repair common faults on Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Ideal, Baxi, Glow-worm and other common domestic gas boilers.
Will I need a new boiler?
Not necessarily. Many emergency boiler faults are caused by one failed component, a pressure issue or a control problem. If repair is safe and sensible, we explain the repair.
How much does emergency boiler repair cost?
The cost depends on the fault, boiler model, access, time of the call and whether parts are needed. We explain the findings and costs before approved repair work begins.
Is emergency boiler repair the same as boiler servicing?
No. Boiler servicing is routine maintenance for a working boiler. Emergency boiler repair is for a boiler that has failed, locked out, leaked, lost pressure or stopped providing heating or hot water.
Can landlords book emergency boiler repairs?
Yes. We help landlords and tenants across Croydon when a property loses heating or hot water. Repair approval may be required from the landlord or managing agent.
My boiler pressure keeps dropping. Should I keep topping it up?
Repeated pressure loss normally has an underlying cause such as a leak, expansion-vessel fault, PRV discharge or an internal boiler problem. Repressurising repeatedly is not a permanent repair.
What happens if the boiler needs parts?
We explain what has failed, what the component does and whether the repair is sensible. Some parts may be available immediately, while parts for older or less common boilers may need to be ordered.
What should I do if I smell gas?
Leave the property, avoid electrical switches and naked flames, and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 before attempting to reset the boiler.
