Frozen condensate in Hunsdon? Boiler repairs sorted properly
If your boiler in Hunsdon 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 Hunsdon repair callouts we diagnose and fix on the first visit — common parts (PRVs, diverters, pumps, PCBs) live on the van.

Learn moreThings Hunsdon customers usually ask about boiler repairs
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.
Is it worth repairing an old boiler?▾
Honest answer: if it's over 12 years old and the repair is more than £400, replacement usually makes more financial sense. We'll lay out both options without pressure.
Do you guarantee repairs?▾
Yes — 12 months on the workmanship and any parts we supply.
