No heating repairs in Broxbourne, Hoddesdon, Cheshunt and nearby areas
No heating can come from a boiler lockout, pressure fault, controls issue, pump problem, airlock or wider heating circulation fault.
No heating becomes urgent when the home has vulnerable occupants, very young children, elderly residents, health needs, or when the boiler is also affecting hot water.
When to call now
Call straight away if water is actively escaping, a ceiling is getting wet, toilets or waste are backing up, heating or hot water is off for vulnerable occupants, or a boiler fault keeps returning after reset. If you smell gas, leave the property safe and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999.
What to do first
- Check whether the boiler display is on and note any fault code.
- Check the thermostat is calling for heat and the programmer is not off.
- Look at boiler pressure if you can do so safely.
- Do not open the boiler case or attempt gas work.
Common causes
The exact cause needs diagnosis, but these are the issues we commonly check first:
- Low boiler pressure or a pressure sensor fault
- Ignition or flame-sensing lockout
- Thermostat, timer or smart control issue
- Pump, valve or circulation problem
- Sludge or air preventing radiators from heating
What this often looks like on site
- A combi boiler showing a fault code after failed ignition or low pressure.
- A thermostat, timer or smart control not calling for heat even though the boiler has power.
- Radiators cold across the house because of pump, valve, air or circulation problems.
- A heating system that works intermittently and then locks out again after reset.
No heating does not automatically mean the boiler needs replacing. Controls, pressure, pumps, valves and circulation faults can create similar symptoms.
How All Hours helps
A Gas Safe engineer checks the boiler, controls and heating system to separate a true boiler fault from a circulation or control issue.
We prioritise making the situation safe, protecting the property where possible and explaining the likely repair clearly before further work begins.
What to tell us when you call or WhatsApp
- Boiler make and model if visible.
- Exact fault code or warning light.
- Whether hot water still works.
- Whether any radiator gets warm.
- Photos of the boiler display by WhatsApp if safe.
What happens during the visit
- Check visible boiler status, pressure and fault history.
- Separate boiler faults from controls, valves, pumps and circulation issues.
- Explain whether a repair, part order or heating-system investigation is the sensible next step.

Direct answers about no heating
Quick answers to common questions before you call.
Can I keep resetting the boiler?
One reset may be reasonable if the manufacturer instructions allow it, but repeated resets after the fault returns can hide a fault and should be avoided.
Should I top up boiler pressure?
Only if you know how to do it safely and the manufacturer guidance supports it. Do not over-pressurise the boiler.
Will you quote a new boiler straight away?
The first step is diagnosis. Replacement is only discussed where repair is uneconomical, unsafe or genuinely unsuitable.
