Pilot light out in Church Langley? Boiler repairs sorted properly
Pilot light keeps going out on an older boiler in Church Langley? 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 Church Langley repair callouts we diagnose and fix on the first visit — common parts (PRVs, diverters, pumps, PCBs) live on the van.

About Church Langley
Modern estate built in the 1990s/2000s — predominantly combi-boilered family housing now reaching first major service intervals.
Predominantly 1950s–70s post-war housing with a mix of terraces, semis, and 60s-built flats. Pockets of older stock around Old Harlow.
- Original 1960s flats often have undersized gas supply pipes that limit modern combi performance
- Older Old Harlow properties frequently have low mains water pressure that affects combi choice
- Many 60s/70s back boilers still in service — our regular work involves removing these and reinstating fireplaces

Quick answers on boiler repairs in Church Langley
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.
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.
