Frozen condensate in Broxbourne? Boiler repairs sorted properly

Frequently asked questions — boiler repairs, Broxbourne

How do I thaw it myself?

Pour warm (not boiling) water along the external condensate pipe, especially at any low points or bends. Then reset the boiler. We'll happily walk you through it on the phone.

How do I stop it freezing again?

We can re-route the condensate to drain internally, fit a wider-bore external section, or lag the existing pipe properly. The right fix depends on your install.

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.

Do you guarantee repairs?

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