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