Frequently asked questions — boiler repairs, Ivy Chimneys

Why have I lost hot water but heating still works?

On a combi boiler this is the classic diverter valve symptom — the valve that switches the flame between heating and hot water has stuck. Common, and usually a one-visit fix.

How much will it cost?

Diverter valve replacement on most boilers is £180–£320 fitted. We'll give you a fixed price after diagnosis before any work starts.

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.

How fast can you come out?

We aim for same-day on no-heat and no-hot-water situations. Tell us when you call if anyone elderly or with young children is in the property — we prioritise.
