Boiler Repairs in North Devon

Fast diagnosis and repair of all boiler makes and models. Same-day call-out available.

When a boiler stops working in October, you notice it fast. I carry out gas boiler repairs across Barnstaple and all of North Devon — same-day where possible, next-day for most jobs. I give you the diagnosis and the cost before anything gets touched.

I'm George Lane, Gas Safe registered engineer. I've been repairing boilers for over 25 years across all the main brands. I diagnose the fault properly, and if a part is needed I tell you the cost upfront and order it in.

What I Can Fix

No heating or hot water — ignition failure, diverter valve fault, motorised valve failure
Boiler not firing up — faulty PCB, thermistor, or gas valve
Error codes and lockouts — I interpret the manufacturer's fault codes and diagnose the underlying cause, not just reset the boiler
Low boiler pressure — pressure loss, expansion vessel failure, leaking pipework
Pilot light problems — pilot light keeps going out, thermocouple failure
Kettling and banging noises — limescale build-up on the heat exchanger, pump issues
Leaking boiler — corroded heat exchanger, failed seals, pressure relief valve discharge
Intermittent heating — faulty zone valve, programmer/thermostat issues, pump speed problems
No hot water but heating works (or vice versa) — diverter valve failure (common on combi boilers)
Boiler keeps switching off — overheating, frozen condensate pipe, blocked flue
Frozen condensate pipe — especially common in North Devon during cold snaps

The Difference 25 Years Makes

The Difference 25 Years Makes

Most faults follow patterns. After two and a half decades of repairs, I recognise those patterns quickly — which means faster diagnosis, fewer wasted trips for parts, and less time your boiler is out of action.

I work on my own. When I come out, it's me carrying out the repair — not a subcontractor I've never met. Every repair I carry out comes with my Gas Safe registration behind it.
