My boiler isn’t working – what should I do?

If your boiler has stopped working in the cold, the chances are you have frozen boiler condensate pipes. To fix this, hold a hot water bottle or heat wrap around the affected pipe. Alternatively, pour hot, but not boiling, water over the frozen end of the pipe.

Condensate pipes are usually on an outside wall near your boiler.

If the boiler then fires up, it should work normally - if it doesn’t, then try again.

If your condensate pipe remains frozen, or the boiler won't fire, please call a Gas Safe Registered engineer or your gas supplier.
