🔧 Emergency Boiler Repairs in Hampshire – What You Need to Know
No Heating or Hot Water? Here’s What to Do and Who to Call
When your boiler breaks down unexpectedly — especially in the colder months — it can be more than just an inconvenience. No heating, no hot water, strange noises, or leaking components all signal something could be seriously wrong.
If you’re in the South Hampshire area and you’re suddenly facing a boiler emergency, here’s everything you need to know to get warm and safe again, quickly and confidently.
🚨 What Counts as a Boiler Emergency?
A boiler issue becomes an emergency when it affects your safety, comfort, or daily routine. Examples include:
- No heating or hot water (especially in winter)
- Water leaking from the boiler
- Boiler showing error codes and not working
- Strange noises (banging, gurgling, or whistling)
- Gas smell – stop what you’re doing and call 0800 111 999
- Carbon monoxide alarm sounding - evacuate!
⚠️ Never ignore warning signs — acting quickly can prevent bigger and more expensive problems later.
🧰 First Steps to Take Before Calling an Engineer
Not every issue requires a full repair — some can be solved with a quick check. Try the following:
✅ 1. Check the Pressure Gauge
- If it’s below 1.0 bar, your boiler may have low pressure.
- Top it up using the filling loop if you know how — but don’t overfill.

✅ 2. Reset the Boiler
- Many modern boilers have a reset button.
- If you’ve had a power cut, this might restore normal operation.
✅ 3. Look at the Error Code
- Check your boiler’s display panel for an error or fault code.
- Refer to the boiler manual or search online (or ask us — we can help over the phone).
✅ 4. Is Your Condensate Pipe Frozen?
- In freezing weather, the white plastic pipe that runs outside can freeze.
- If safe to do so, pour warm (not boiling) water over the pipe to thaw it.
🧑🔧 When to Call for Emergency Boiler Repair?
If the boiler still isn’t working after basic checks — or you see leaks, hear loud noises, or smell gas — it’s time to call a Gas Safe registered engineer from Gas-Go Heating.
Look for a local engineer who:
- Offers emergency callouts
- Is Gas Safe registered
