Why Choose WGS Services for Hot Water System Repairs?

Why has my hot water system stopped working?

Hot water systems are complex, and a sudden lack of heat or pressure can stem from a variety of underlying issues. Identifying the root cause quickly is essential to prevent further damage to your property and to keep your repair costs as low as possible.Common faults include blown heating elements requiring an immersion heater replacement, faulty thermostats that fail to regulate temperature, and blocked or dripping pressure relief valves. In unvented cylinders, you might experience issues with the expansion vessel losing its charge. Whatever the symptom, our experienced team provides thorough unvented cylinder maintenance and fault-finding services to identify the exact component that has failed.We always prioritise an eco-friendly approach, recommending repairs that restore your system's efficiency, reduce your energy bills, and prolong the lifespan of your equipment.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our hot water system repairs, unvented cylinders, and expert plumbing services in Lancashire.

Why Has My Hot Water Stopped Working?

+

Several things can cause a hot water system to fail. In many cases, it is a simple fix that our plumbers can handle in under an hour. Common issues we see in the Darwen and Blackburn area include:

  • Pilot Light Failure: If you have an older gas boiler, the pilot light might have gone out.
  • Thermostat Issues: A faulty thermostat can lead to water that is either dangerously hot or stone cold.
  • Limescale Build-up: In areas with hard water, scale can settle on heating elements, making them less efficient or causing them to burn out.
  • Airlocks or Blockages: Air trapped in the pipes can stop hot water from reaching your taps.
  • Pressure Problems: If your boiler pressure is too low, the system will often shut down as a safety precaution.
    Whatever the cause, we diagnose the fault accurately. We don't believe in guesswork; we use our years of experience to find the root of the problem so it doesn't happen again next week.

Why is my hot water pressure suddenly very low?

+

This is often caused by a blocked filter, a failing pressure reducing valve, or an issue with the expansion vessel in an unvented system. In some cases, it could be a leak elsewhere in the property. We can quickly test the pressure at various points to find the blockage.

My immersion heater is making a loud humming noise, is this dangerous?

+

A humming or vibrating noise usually indicates a build-up of limescale on the heating element or a problem with the thermostat. While it might not be an immediate danger, it makes the system very inefficient and can lead to the element burning out. It is best to have it checked and cleaned or replaced.

Do I need a Gas Safe engineer to fix my hot water?

+

If your hot water is heated by a gas boiler, then yes, any work involving the boiler or the gas supply must be done by a Gas Safe Registered engineer. If you have a purely electric system, a qualified plumber can usually handle the repair, but we recommend our Gas Safe team for total peace of mind.

How long does a hot water repair usually take?

+

Most common repairs, such as replacing a thermostat, a heating element, or a valve, can be completed within one to two hours. If we need to source a specific part that we don't have on the van, we can usually get it the same day or the following morning.

Is it worth repairing an old water cylinder?

+

If the cylinder is leaking from the main body, it usually needs replacing. However, if the fault is with a replaceable part like a valve or a heater, a repair is a very cost-effective way to get more years out of your system. We will always give you an honest opinion on whether a repair or a replacement is the best value for you.
