Boiler fault codes — FAQs
Can I reset my boiler myself?
- A single reset is fine. If the boiler locks out again, stop resetting — repeated resets on an ignition or flame fault can be dangerous and mask the real problem.
Which fault codes are safety critical?
- Any code relating to flame detection, gas valve operation, overheat or flue/fan failure should be treated as safety critical and needs a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Are low pressure codes something I can fix?
- Usually yes — repressurise to 1.0–1.5 bar with the filling loop. If pressure keeps dropping there is a leak or a failed expansion vessel.
Do you carry parts for these faults?
- We stock common fans, pumps, sensors and PCB parts for the major brands, so many fault code repairs are completed on the first visit.
How fast can you attend a locked out boiler?
- The line is open 24 hours and we work across Warrington daily, so most lockouts get a same-day or next-morning slot.
