Boiler losing pressure in Thaxted? Boiler repairs sorted properly

boiler repairs in Thaxted: questions we get a lot

How often should I need to top up?

A healthy sealed system should hold pressure for 6-12 months between top-ups. Anything more frequent points to a leak.

Could it be the expansion vessel?

Yes — a perished expansion vessel inside the boiler is a common cause. We test the vessel as part of diagnosis.

Do you guarantee repairs?

Yes — 12 months on the workmanship and any parts we supply.

Do you charge a callout fee?

We charge a clear diagnostic fee (told to you upfront before we attend). It covers proper on-site diagnosis. The repair itself is then quoted as a fixed price you agree before any work starts.
