Emergency Boiler Repair Services We Cover
A boiler can keep running for months with a fault that is slowly getting worse. In Brighton we see it most in converted flats and older terraces, where the boiler sits in a cramped cupboard and the pipework has been altered many times. We repair pressure faults, noisy boilers and controls in Kemptown, Hanover, Preston Park and across the city.
If your boiler has stopped and you have no heat at all, go straight to our boiler breakdown repairs in Brighton. A combi that has stopped giving hot water is covered on our Brighton no hot water page.

Repairing boilers in Brighton’s older homes
Brighton and Hove has more than 30 conservation areas, covering Regency squares, Victorian terraces and old village centres. That matters when a boiler reaches the end of its life. A replacement may need a new flue position, and a new flue on the front of a building in a conservation area can mean checking with the council’s planning team first. It is one reason a sound older boiler is often worth repairing.
In flats carved out of large houses, the boiler is often in a kitchen or bedroom cupboard, with pipes running through other people’s floors. A slow leak from one of those pipes shows up first as a boiler that needs topping up, then as a stain on the ceiling below. We trace the leak before we refill anything. If water has come through, our ceiling leak repairs in Brighton and our own plasterers can put it right.
Noisy boilers are a common complaint in flats, because a humming pump or a ticking pipe carries through shared walls and floors. Often the pump is set to the wrong speed, a pipe clip has worked loose, or scale has built up inside the boiler. We work out which before we fit any part.
If the heating is on but some rooms stay cold, the fault may be in the radiators or pipework rather than the boiler. Our heating system repairs cover balancing, sludge and stuck valves, and a dripping radiator in Brighton is a quick job to add to the same visit.
How we work
Three steps from phone call to fixed
1
Call
We ask what the boiler is doing, what make it is and whether you have any heating or hot water at all, so the engineer arrives knowing what to expect.
2
We arrive
You get a 30 minute call back from us with a named engineer and a realistic arrival window, another call when they are on the way, and then we turn up inside the window we gave you.
3
Problem solved
We repair the fault, test the boiler under load, tidy up and tell you plainly what failed and whether the unit has life left in it.

Questions
Boiler repair in Brighton, answered
Water is escaping somewhere. In converted Brighton flats it is often a pipe under the floor, a radiator valve, or the pressure relief valve discharging through the outside wall. We find the source and fix that, not just the pressure.
Usually, yes. A pump running too fast, loose pipe clips or scale in the boiler are the common causes. Once we have fixed the cause, the noise normally goes with it.
If the boiler is sound, repair is often the simpler choice, as a like-for-like repair does not change the flue. If a replacement would need a new flue position, check with the council’s planning team first. We give you our honest view either way.
Not always. In a house with two heating zones, a sticking zone valve or a faulty thermostat on one floor gives exactly that symptom. We test the controls and valves before blaming the boiler.
Yes, if the code keeps coming back. Write it down, with the boiler make and model, and tell us when you call. Many codes point to a part that is failing but has not yet stopped.
Yes. We work for landlords and agents with shared houses across Brighton. We arrange access with the tenants, agree the price with you first, and send photos of what we found.
If you plan to keep it, yes. A service is the time to spot a weeping seal, a blocked condensate trap or a fan starting to fail. We will also tell you honestly if the boiler is close to the point where repairs stop making sense.
Yes. Our own team in Hove answers the phone around the clock. If the fault can wait until morning, we will book a time that suits you.
Yes. If water has stained a ceiling or lifted a floor, our plasterers, flooring fitters and decorators can make it good. That helps in flats, where the damage is often in the home below.
By debit card, credit card or bank transfer, and all the usual ways. You agree the price with the engineer before any work starts.
Yes. We accept credit card payments, so there is no need to have cash ready.
