Boiler repair in Exeter

If your boiler is not working properly, Lombardi Heating provides boiler repair and fault finding across Exeter and nearby areas.

​

That might mean no heating, no hot water, pressure dropping, a fault code that keeps coming back, or a boiler that is running badly and cannot be relied on. For urgent boiler faults such as no heating or hot water, call or WhatsApp Ben directly - 07766056907. Urgent faults are prioritised where possible and same-day attendance is often available.

​

The first step is to identify the actual cause of the problem properly. We regularly help Exeter homeowners work out whether the issue is within the boiler itself or linked to a wider heating-system fault, so the right repair can be carried out.

Urgent boiler faults in Exeter

If you have no heating or hot water, a leaking boiler, repeated fault codes, pressure loss or a boiler that is not firing, call or WhatsApp Ben directly.

Urgent faults are prioritised where possible and same-day attendance is often available.

The aim is to identify the fault properly, explain the issue clearly and get the boiler working again where a sensible repair can be carried out.

​

​

​

A boiler problem is not always just a boiler problem.

Sometimes the issue is within the appliance itself. Sometimes it is linked to circulation, pressure loss, air in the system, controls, or another wider heating issue. That is why the first step is to diagnose the fault properly before jumping into parts replacement or talking about fitting a new boiler.

​

Our approach is simple: find the cause, explain it clearly, and then advise on the most sensible next step.

​

​

​

 

We regularly attend boilers with faults such as:

• no heating or hot water

• pressure dropping

• fault codes and lockouts

• boilers that are noisy, unreliable or keep resetting

• radiators not heating properly

• heating systems that are not circulating as they should

• boilers that have become intermittent or unpredictable

 

Some faults are straightforward and some are more involved, but the aim is always to identify the issue properly rather than guess at it.

​

​

​

​

​

We are not in the habit of pushing boiler replacement when a repair is still the sensible option.

 

A lot of boilers are written off too quickly. We regularly speak to customers who have been told they need a new boiler when the existing one may still be repairable. If you want a second opinion before committing to replacement, we are happy to assess it properly first.

​

When a repair does make sense, we will explain what is wrong and what is needed to put it right. When it does not, we will say so clearly and talk you through the options without pressure.

 

If replacement does turn out to be the better route, you can read more on our Boiler Installation Exeter page.

​

​

Once the fault has been identified, we will explain:

• what the issue is

• what is needed to repair it

• whether the repair is worth doing

• whether there is anything else you should be aware of

 

That way, you can make a decision based on a proper diagnosis rather than assumptions.

Recent boiler repair examples in Exeter

​

Recent boiler repair in Heavitree, Exeter
We recently repaired a Viessmann boiler in Heavitree that had lost both heating and hot water. After checking it thoroughly, we traced the fault to backed-up condensate inside the boiler, cleared the blockage and restored heating and hot water. We also talked the customer through options for improving the condensate pipework to help reduce the chance of the same issue happening again.

​

Glow-worm boiler repair in Alphington, Exeter
During a recent Glow-worm boiler service in Alphington, we identified a serious safety issue caused by a cracked burner seal, which was allowing fumes to leak from the burner area. The faulty seal was replaced, the boiler was repaired, and the appliance was then safe for the customer to use with confidence.

​

Noisy boiler fixed in Topsham
We recently helped a homeowner in Topsham whose boiler was making excessive noise whenever the heating came on. After inspecting the boiler, we found that a dirty injector was affecting the burner and causing the noise. We recommended a full boiler service, which resolved the fault and gave the customer better value than carrying out the repair on its own.

​

​

We carry out boiler fault finding and repair throughout Exeter, including St Thomas, Heavitree, Pinhoe, Alphington, Broadclyst, Topsham and Ide.

Being based in Exeter means we can often get to customers quickly when a boiler fault leaves them without heating or hot water.

​

​

​

​

​

Boiler repair costs depend on the fault itself, whether parts are required, and whether the issue is isolated to the boiler or linked to the wider heating system.

That is why diagnosis comes first. Once the fault has been identified, we can explain the repair needed and the likely cost before any further work goes ahead.

​

If the boiler is repaired and you want to reduce the risk of future breakdowns, our Boiler Service Exeter page explains more about annual servicing. Landlords and rental properties can also visit Landlord and Property services in Exeter, and for wider heating and plumbing work, see Plumber Exeter.

If you have no heating or hot water, or your boiler has stopped working, Lombardi Heating carries out boiler fault finding and repairs across Exeter and nearby areas.

​

We deal with a wide range of boiler faults, from boilers that have completely stopped working through to recurring problems, fault codes, pressure issues and heating performance issues. For urgent boiler faults, we look to prioritise emergencies where we can and attend the same day.

​

Our approach is to diagnose the problem properly, explain the fault clearly and do what we can to repair the boiler where that is still the sensible option. Where a repair is not cost effective, we will explain the options clearly and help you make the best decision based on the boiler, the fault and the wider condition of the system.
