When Is a Boiler Emergency?
Not every boiler fault is an emergency, but some situations need urgent attention. Here are the most common reasons people call us for emergency repairs:
- No heating. If your boiler has stopped producing heat entirely and your home is getting cold, especially in winter, that needs sorting quickly.
- No hot water. Losing hot water completely can disrupt your whole day. If there is no hot water coming through at all, it is worth getting checked as soon as possible.
- Boiler will not turn on. If your boiler is completely unresponsive and nothing happens when you try to fire it up, there could be an electrical fault, an ignition problem, or a gas supply issue.
- Water leaking from the boiler. Any visible leak should be looked at by a qualified engineer. Do not try to fix this yourself. Turn the boiler off and call us.
- Unusual smells. If you can smell gas or burning near your boiler, turn the boiler off, open your windows, and call us immediately. If you suspect a gas leak, also call the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999.
- Strange noises. Loud banging, kettling, or whistling sounds can indicate a fault that could get worse if left.
- Fault codes or repeated shutdowns. If your boiler keeps locking out or displaying error codes, it is trying to tell you something is wrong.
If you are not sure whether your situation counts as an emergency, call us anyway. We would rather hear from you early than have the problem get worse.
Same Day and 24 Hour Boiler Repair in Solihull
When your heating goes down, waiting days for a repair is not realistic. That is why we offer same-day emergency callouts across Solihull, with engineers available to respond quickly when it matters most.
In most cases, if you call us in the morning, we can have an engineer with you the same day. For afternoon and evening calls, we will do everything we can to attend as soon as possible, or first thing the following morning at the latest.
We prioritise emergency callouts where there is no heating or no hot water, particularly during the colder months when being without heat can become a real concern. Families with young children, elderly residents, and anyone with health conditions are always treated as a priority.
Availability can depend on how busy we are on any given day, but we are honest about timescales. When you call, we will give you a realistic idea of when we can get to you so you are not left waiting without an update.
We understand how urgent this is. We do not treat emergency calls like routine bookings. We act fast.
What to Do If Your Boiler Breaks Down
While you wait for an engineer, there are a few things you can check yourself. These will not fix every problem, but they may help in some cases and could save you a callout.
Check your thermostat. Make sure it is set to the right temperature and that the timer has not been changed accidentally. It sounds simple, but it catches people out more often than you would think.
Check the boiler pressure. Most boilers have a pressure gauge on the front. If it has dropped below 1 bar, that could be why it has stopped working. Some boilers allow you to repressurise using the filling loop underneath. Your boiler manual will show you how, but if you are unsure, leave it for the engineer.
Try resetting the boiler. Many boilers have a reset button. Pressing it once can sometimes clear a temporary fault. If the boiler fires up and stays on, you may not need a repair. If it locks out again, do not keep resetting it. Call us.
Turn the boiler off if it is leaking. If you see water coming from the boiler or the pipework around it, switch the boiler off at the control panel and turn off the water supply if you can. Do not attempt any repairs yourself.
If none of that resolves the issue, call us and we will get an engineer out to you.
Our Emergency Repair Process
We keep things moving quickly when you call with an emergency. Here is what to expect:
- Call us. Tell us what is happening with your boiler. The more detail you can give, the better prepared our engineer will be when they arrive.
- Immediate response. We will assess the urgency and arrange an engineer as fast as we can. For no heating or no hot water situations, we treat it as a priority.
- Engineer dispatched. A Gas Safe registered engineer will be sent to your property, usually the same day.
- Diagnosis. The engineer will inspect your boiler, identify the fault, and explain what needs to be done. You will get a clear price before any work starts.
- Repair completed. Once you give the go-ahead, the repair is carried out and the system is fully tested before the engineer leaves.
We keep you updated throughout. If there are any delays or if a part needs ordering, we will let you know straight away so you are not left guessing.
Emergency Boiler Repair Costs
We understand that cost matters, even in an emergency. The price of a repair depends on the fault itself, which parts are needed, and how long the job takes. Minor issues will naturally cost less than major component replacements.
Emergency callouts may carry a slightly higher cost than a routine booking, depending on the time of day and availability. We will always be upfront about this when you call, so you know exactly what to expect.
We do not believe in hidden charges. Before any work starts, our engineer will explain the fault and give you a clear price. If something comes up during the repair that changes the cost, we will discuss it with you first.
A boiler repair, even an emergency one, is almost always cheaper than a full replacement. In most cases, getting the fault fixed quickly is the most cost-effective option and means you are not left without heating for longer than necessary.
Can Your Boiler Be Fixed Today?
In many cases, yes. The majority of boiler faults we see can be diagnosed and repaired during a single visit. Common issues like pressure drops, faulty thermostats, ignition failures, and valve problems are usually resolved the same day.
There are times when a repair takes longer. If your boiler needs a specific part that is not commonly carried, we may need to order it. When that happens, we will let you know, explain the timeline, and arrange a follow-up visit as soon as the part arrives.
For more complex faults, like a failed heat exchanger or a damaged PCB board, the repair itself may take a few hours. But even with those jobs, we aim to complete everything in one visit wherever we can.
We will always give you an honest answer about whether we can fix it today. If we can, we will. If we cannot, we will explain why and make sure the follow-up is arranged quickly.

What Our Customers Have To Say
Read More Of Our Reviews
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.
