Boiler Repairs For Addiscombe Homes
A lot of Addiscombe boiler repair work is not dramatic at first. Sometimes the boiler still has power. Sometimes it fires for a few seconds then cuts out. Sometimes the heating works downstairs but the upstairs radiators stay cold.
That is why the diagnosis matters. A pressure issue can be a small leak, an expansion vessel problem, a pressure relief valve fault or pipework hidden under floors. No hot water can be a diverter valve, plate heat exchanger, sensor fault or circulation problem.
We repair boilers in family homes, terraces and older properties around Addiscombe, including areas near Lower Addiscombe Road, Blackhorse Lane, Shirley Road, Addiscombe Tram Stop and Ashburton Park.

Problems We Commonly See In Addiscombe
Addiscombe has a mix of older houses, terraces, family homes and some converted properties. The boiler fault is not always just the boiler itself. Sometimes it is the heating system around it.
Pressure Keeps Dropping
This is one of the most common calls. The pressure gauge sits low, the boiler locks out, then it works again after topping up. If it keeps happening, something is wrong.
Cold Radiators Upstairs
Cold upstairs radiators can come from air in the system, poor circulation, sludge, a weak pump or balancing issues. It is not always solved by bleeding one radiator.
No Hot Water
If heating works but hot water does not, we may be looking at a diverter valve, plate heat exchanger, flow sensor or internal boiler component fault. Read our no hot water but heating guide to understand the most common causes.
Boiler Fires Then Cuts Out
This can be linked to ignition faults, flame detection, overheating, poor circulation, condensate issues or safety lockout behaviour.
Heating Zones Not Working
In larger homes, a seized zone valve, failed pump, wiring issue or thermostat problem can stop part of the heating system from calling for heat.
Old Boiler Acting Up
Some older boilers are still repairable. Others start needing repeated parts. We will explain the difference before pushing you towards replacement.
Boiler Fault Diagnosis Before Repair
A proper boiler repair starts with finding the fault. Guessing parts gets expensive quickly. So we check the symptom, the boiler behaviour, the pressure, controls and heating system before recommending the repair.
| Symptom | Possible Cause | What We Check |
|---|---|---|
| Boiler losing pressure | Expansion vessel issue, PRV fault, leak, pipework fault | Pressure gauge, visible leaks, discharge pipe, vessel charge and system behaviour |
| No hot water | Diverter valve, plate heat exchanger or sensor fault. If your radiators still heat up but the taps stay cold, see our heating works but no hot water guide. | Hot water demand, flow temperature, boiler response and internal components |
| No heating | Thermostat issue, stuck valve, failed pump, circulation problem | Controls, pump operation, zone valves, radiator heat-up and system circulation |
| Boiler lockout | Ignition fault, flame detection fault, gas supply fault, overheating | Fault code, reset behaviour, ignition sequence and safety checks |
| Banging noises from boiler | Sludge, air, overheating, poor circulation | System noise, pump movement, radiator condition and water quality signs |
| Boiler dead or not turning on | Power issue, PCB fault, fuse, wiring fault, internal component fault | Electrical supply, controls, display, boiler response and safe isolation |
Not Sure What Is Wrong With The Boiler?
Tell us what the boiler is doing. No heating, no hot water, pressure dropping, fault code showing or a boiler reset not working—even if you are not sure how to explain it, we can usually narrow it down from the symptoms. If your heating works but your taps stay cold, our no hot water but heating guide explains what is often causing the issue.
Repair Or Replace?
We are not there to sell you a new boiler every time something goes wrong. Plenty of boilers are worth repairing, especially if the fault is clear and parts are available.
But there are times where replacement is the honest answer. A cracked heat exchanger, repeated major faults, obsolete parts or an old boiler that keeps breaking down can make repair poor value.
If replacement makes more sense, we can point you towards boiler installation in Addiscombe or the wider boiler installation service.
When A Repair Usually Makes Sense
- The boiler is not extremely old
- The fault is isolated to one part
- Parts are still available
- The heat exchanger is sound
- The boiler has been mostly reliable before this
When Replacement May Be Better
- Repeated breakdowns in a short period
- Major internal component failure
- Parts are discontinued or hard to source
- The boiler is unsafe or beyond economical repair
- You are already planning a system upgrade
A Realistic Addiscombe Boiler Callout
A common one is a homeowner topping the boiler up every few days. The boiler works, then the pressure drops overnight, then it locks out again. From the outside it looks like a simple pressure issue.
On the visit, we would check whether water is escaping through the pressure relief valve, whether the expansion vessel has lost charge, whether there are signs of a leak near radiators or pipework, and whether the boiler pressure rises too quickly when heating comes on.
That matters because constantly topping up a sealed system is not a proper fix. It can dilute inhibitor, increase corrosion risk and hide the fault for longer. Better to find the reason properly.

Boiler Brands We Commonly Repair
We work on common domestic boiler brands found across Croydon and Addiscombe homes, including Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Ideal and Baxi boilers.
Brand-Specific Faults
Different boilers show faults in different ways. Some display clear fault codes. Others show symptoms like cutting out, pressure loss or hot water fluctuation before the fault becomes obvious.
Helpful Fault Information
If your boiler is showing a code, take a photo before resetting it. It can help with diagnosis, especially if the boiler works again temporarily after reset.
Boiler Repair FAQs Addiscombe
Do you repair boilers in Addiscombe?
Yes. MPS Heating & Plumbing LTD carries out boiler repairs in Addiscombe and nearby Croydon areas, including help with no heating, no hot water, boiler fault codes, pressure loss and boiler lockouts.
Why does my boiler keep losing pressure?
Repeated pressure loss can come from a leak, expansion vessel issue, pressure relief valve problem or pipework fault. If you keep topping the boiler up, it is worth getting the system checked properly.
Can you fix a boiler with no hot water?
Yes, depending on the cause. No hot water can be linked to a diverter valve, plate heat exchanger, sensor fault, flow issue or internal boiler problem.
Should I reset my boiler before calling?
You can try one reset if the manufacturer instructions allow it. But take a photo of any fault code first. If the boiler keeps locking out, do not keep resetting it repeatedly.
Do I need a repair or a new boiler?
It depends on the age of the boiler, the fault, part availability and repair cost. We will explain whether the boiler is worth repairing or whether replacement would be more sensible.
Are you Gas Safe registered?
Yes. MPS Heating & Plumbing LTD is Gas Safe Registered. Gas Safe ID: 662170.
