Frozen condensate in Buntingford? Boiler repairs sorted properly
If your boiler in Buntingford stopped working in cold weather and is showing a fault code, the condensate pipe outside has likely frozen. We can talk you through thawing it on the phone, or come out and lag it properly so it doesn't happen again. Most Buntingford repair callouts we diagnose and fix on the first visit — common parts (PRVs, diverters, pumps, PCBs) live on the van.

Quick answers on boiler repairs in Buntingford
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 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.
