Boiler Repair in Epsom

Bills

When your boiler breaks down in Epsom, whether you live near the bustling Epsom Town Centre, the charming streets of Ewell Village, or the family-friendly 1930s semis of Stoneleigh, you need a trusted local expert who understands the unique heating challenges of the area. At RCB Plumbing Ltd, we specialise in reliable, fast boiler repair services tailored to the diverse properties across Epsom, Horton, and Epsom Downs. From older Victorian pipework in Ewell to compact boiler cupboards in newer flats near Epsom station, our Gas Safe registered engineers have the experience and knowledge to get your heating back up and running quickly and safely.

Common Boiler Issues in Epsom Homes

Many homes in Epsom face typical boiler problems related to their property style and heating system age. For instance, Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Ewell Village often have older pipework, which can lead to leaks, corrosion, or airlocks affecting boiler performance. Stoneleigh’s 1930s semis frequently experience pressure drops or noisy radiators due to ageing components. Meanwhile, newer flats near Epsom station often have limited cupboard space for combi boilers, which can cause overheating or ventilation issues.

No hot water or heating at all

This is a clear sign your boiler isn’t working properly, leaving your home without warmth or hot water. It could be due to a variety of issues, from pilot light failure to a broken thermostat.

Radiators not heating evenly

If some radiators are warm while others remain cold, it often points to trapped air, sludge build-up, or balancing problems within your heating system, common in older properties around Ewell Village.

Low boiler pressure or frequent pressure loss

Boilers need the right pressure to function efficiently. Low or dropping pressure can cause your boiler to shut down or work harder, often due to leaks, faulty valves, or issues with the expansion vessel.

Strange noises from the boiler or pipework

Unusual sounds like banging, whistling, or gurgling can indicate trapped air, kettling caused by limescale, or pump failures, especially in homes with older pipework such as Victorian terraces.

Error or fault codes on the boiler panel

Modern boilers display specific error codes when something isn’t right. Recognising these helps RCB Plumbing diagnose and fix issues quickly, ensuring your boiler runs safely and efficiently.

If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to act promptly to avoid further damage or costly repairs.

What to Do First When Your Boiler Breaks Down

Before calling for professional help, there are a few simple checks you can perform safely at home:

  • Check the boiler pressure gauge — ideally between 1 and 1.5 bar
  • Reset the boiler as per the manufacturer’s instructions
  • Ensure the thermostat and timers are set correctly

If you smell gas, hear a hissing noise, or suspect a leak, turn off the gas supply immediately at the mains. Similarly, if there is visible water leakage, switch off the water supply to prevent damage. In these cases, contact RCB Plumbing Ltd on [Phone Number] immediately for an emergency callout.

Boiler Repair FAQs for Epsom Homeowners

Frequently Asked Questions

What do boiler fault codes mean?

Fault codes are error messages displayed on your boiler’s control panel indicating specific issues. Our engineers diagnose these codes quickly to pinpoint the problem and apply the correct fix.

Why do I have no hot water but heating still works?

This could indicate a diverter valve fault, common in combi boilers, which controls whether hot water or heating is prioritised. We can test and replace this part if needed.

What causes radiators to be cold at the bottom?

Cold spots usually mean trapped air or sludge build-up in the system. We offer system bleeding and power flushing services to restore heat circulation.

Why is my boiler pressure dropping frequently?

Pressure loss can be caused by leaks, faulty expansion vessels, or faulty pressure relief valves. Our engineers perform comprehensive checks to identify and repair the cause.
