Pilot light out in Cheshunt? Boiler repairs sorted properly
Pilot light keeps going out on an older boiler in Cheshunt? That's usually a thermocouple failing, a draught problem, or a gas supply issue. Older units (back boilers and pre-2005 conventional models) we can usually keep running with the right parts. Most Cheshunt repair callouts we diagnose and fix on the first visit — common parts (PRVs, diverters, pumps, PCBs) live on the van.

Is a pilot light boiler still safe to use?▾
Yes if it's serviced annually and the thermocouple and flame failure devices are working. We test all of these on every service.
Should I just replace it?▾
If parts are getting hard to source or the boiler is over 15 years old, replacement is usually the right call. We'll be straight with you on the numbers.
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.
