Why Do You Have No Heating?
There are several reasons your heating might have stopped working. Some are straightforward, others take a bit more investigation.
Here are the most common causes:
- Boiler not firing up. If the boiler isn’t switching on at all, there could be an ignition fault, a power issue, or a failed internal component. Read more about boiler faults here.
- Low boiler pressure. When the pressure drops too low, your boiler may not be able to circulate water through the system properly. This can leave your radiators cold or cause the boiler to lock out completely. Find out more about low pressure here.
- Thermostat issues. If your thermostat isn’t calling for heat, the boiler won’t fire. This could be a faulty thermostat, a dead battery in a wireless unit, or settings that have been changed without you realising.
- Air trapped in radiators. If some radiators are warm at the bottom but cold at the top, or not heating at all, there may be air trapped inside. This prevents hot water from circulating properly through the radiator.
- Pump failure. The pump is what moves hot water around your heating system. If it fails or gets stuck, the water sits still and your radiators stay cold, even if the boiler itself is running.
- Faulty components. Parts like the diverter valve, motorised valve, PCB, or fan can develop faults over time. Any of these can stop the heating from working. If you’ve also lost hot water, this page may help.
If you’re not sure what’s causing it, that’s normal. Most of these faults look the same from the outside. An engineer can usually narrow it down quickly.
Quick Checks You Can Do
Before picking up the phone, there are a few simple things worth trying.
Check your thermostat. Make sure it’s switched on, set to a temperature higher than the current room temperature, and that any timer or schedule is correct. If it’s a wireless thermostat, try replacing the batteries.
Check the boiler pressure. Look at the gauge on the front of the boiler. If it’s below 1 bar, the pressure is too low. You can try topping it up using the filling loop underneath. Aim for around 1 to 1.5 bar.
Check the power supply. Confirm the boiler is switched on at the wall and check your fuse box for any tripped switches.
Try resetting the boiler. Press the reset button on the front panel once and wait. If the boiler restarts and the heating comes back on, it may have been a temporary fault.
Check your radiators. If the boiler seems to be running but the radiators are cold, try bleeding them. Use a radiator key to release any trapped air from the valve at the top. Have a towel ready to catch any water.
These are all safe, basic checks. But if your heating still isn’t working after trying them, there’s likely a fault that needs proper attention.
If your heating still isn’t working, it’s best to get it checked by an engineer.
When You Should Call an Engineer
If the quick checks haven’t helped, waiting around usually won’t either. Some heating faults need a qualified engineer to diagnose and fix properly.
You should call an engineer if:
- You have no heating at all, even after resetting the boiler
- The boiler fires up but the radiators stay cold
- Your boiler keeps locking out or cutting off
- The same problem keeps coming back after a reset
- There’s an error code on the display that won’t clear
- You’ve lost both heating and hot water
These problems tend to get worse rather than better on their own. A faulty pump won’t start working again by itself. A failing valve won’t suddenly sort itself out. And in the meantime, your home stays cold.
Getting it looked at sooner usually means a simpler repair. Our engineers deal with no heating calls every day and can usually identify the problem quickly.
Boiler Repair in Solihull – Fast Local Service
We’re a local boiler repair company covering Solihull and the surrounding areas. When your heating’s gone and the house is cold, you need someone who can get to you fast.
Our engineers are based locally, so we can often respond the same day. We work on all major boiler brands and heating systems, including combi, system, and conventional setups. Whatever type you have, we’ve worked on it.
When we arrive, we’ll check the boiler, the controls, and the full heating system to find the fault. Once we know what’s wrong, we’ll explain it clearly and carry out the repair wherever possible. We carry common parts with us to keep delays to a minimum, though some repairs may need a specific component to be ordered.
We don’t charge for turning up. You’ll know what the issue is and what it costs before any work starts.
For more about our repair service, visit our boiler repair page.
Can Your Heating Be Restored Today?
In many cases, yes. A lot of the faults that cause heating to stop working can be resolved during the first visit.
Common issues like thermostat faults, low pressure, trapped air, and valve failures are things our engineers handle regularly. These repairs don’t usually take long once the cause has been found.
If the fault involves a part we don’t carry or something more complex like a pump or PCB replacement, it may take a bit longer. We’ll always let you know upfront and arrange a follow-up as quickly as we can.
Nobody wants to sit in a cold house waiting for parts. We understand that, which is why we prioritise no heating calls and aim to get things sorted as fast as possible.
We aim to get your heating back as quickly as possible. That’s always the goal.
Boiler Repair Costs
The cost of getting your heating back depends on what’s causing the problem.
A minor fault like a thermostat issue or a pressure adjustment will cost less than replacing an internal component like a pump, valve, or PCB. More complex repairs involving multiple faults will naturally be higher.
We’ll always diagnose the issue first and explain what’s involved before any work starts. You’ll get a clear cost with no hidden charges.
Fixing the issue early can prevent more expensive repairs later. A small fault left unchecked can put extra strain on other parts of the system, and what starts as a simple repair can turn into something bigger if it’s left too long.
Book a repair and we’ll give you an honest assessment.
What If the Boiler Needs Replacing?
Sometimes repairing the boiler isn’t the most sensible option. If the boiler is old, parts are difficult to source, or faults keep cropping up one after another, replacement may be the better choice.
This is particularly common with boilers that are fifteen years old or more. The technology has moved on, parts become scarce, and the cost of repeated repairs can add up to more than the cost of a new unit.
Our engineers will always be straight with you. If a repair makes sense, that’s what we’ll recommend. If the boiler is at the end of its life and replacement is the smarter option, we’ll explain why and help you work through the choices.
We supply and install new boilers across Solihull and can help you find the right system for your home and budget.

No heating is one of those problems that gets worse the longer you leave it. The house gets colder, the frustration builds, and the fault doesn’t fix itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
The most common causes are a boiler that won’t fire up, low pressure, thermostat problems, air trapped in radiators, or a faulty pump or valve. Some of these are quick to fix, while others need an engineer to diagnose. If basic checks don’t solve it, it’s worth getting a professional to take a look.
You can try a few basic steps like checking the thermostat, topping up the boiler pressure, resetting the boiler, and bleeding your radiators. These are all safe to do and may resolve the issue. Beyond that, heating repairs should be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
We offer same-day appointments where available, and many heating faults are resolved during the first visit. If a part needs to be ordered, we’ll arrange a return visit as quickly as possible. We treat no heating calls as a priority.
 Cold radiators can be caused by trapped air, low boiler pressure, a faulty pump, or sludge build-up in the system. If one or two radiators are cold while others work fine, bleeding them may help. If all the radiators are cold, the problem is more likely with the boiler or the pump.
It depends on the fault. Simple fixes cost less than major component replacements. We’ll always explain the cost clearly before starting any work, so you know what to expect.
Yes, where possible. No heating calls are always a priority for us, especially during cold weather. Call us and we’ll do our best to get an engineer to you the same day.
What Our Customers Have To Say

Our boiler broke down on one of the coldest nights in January, and Solihull Boiler Repair had an engineer out to us the very next morning. He diagnosed the fault quickly, explained exactly what needed replacing, and had it all sorted within a couple of hours. The house was warm again by lunchtime. Really impressed with how straightforward and fairly priced the whole service was.

We’d been putting off getting our old boiler looked at for months, but Solihull Boiler Repair made the whole process painless. They gave us an honest assessment, no pressure to replace anything that didn’t need replacing, and carried out the repair neatly and efficiently. They even tidied up after themselves, which was a nice touch. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area.
- Karen T
Called Solihull Boiler Repair when our heating packed in just before Christmas. They were responsive from the first phone call and managed to fit us in the same week, which was a huge relief. The engineer was friendly, explained everything clearly, and the price was exactly what was quoted, no surprises. We’ve since booked them for our annual service too.
