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

The same engineer quotes the job, does the work, and answers the phone afterwards if anything's not right.

Learn moreLocal, honest boiler repairs for Wareside homes
We've been doing boiler repairs in Ware long enough to know which streets have shared chimneys, which estates have undersized gas supplies, and which boilers tend to fail first.
That experience means we get the spec right at the survey, not halfway through the install.
And we don't cut corners on the bits you can't see — proper pipework, magnetic filter, full system flush where needed.

Frequently asked questions — boiler repairs, Wareside
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.
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.
Do you guarantee repairs?▾
