Boiler Not Firing Up for Kingston upon Thames homes
A boiler that will not fire is usually one of a short list: low system pressure locking it out, no gas at the appliance, a failed ignition lead or electrode, a faulty gas valve, a blocked condensate trap holding the pressure switch open, or a PCB fault.
Repeated resetting is the worst thing you can do — most lockouts are the boiler protecting itself, and forcing repeated ignition attempts can flood the combustion chamber.
When your boiler dies on a Sunday morning or a pipe bursts under the kitchen sink, the last thing you want is a national callout line dispatching whoever's "nearest" — sometimes an hour away. Maxfix Plumbing and Heating is based in Kingston upon Thames.
Areas of Kingston upon Thames we cover: Kingston town centre, Norbiton, Coombe, Canbury, Kingston Hill.

Frequently asked
Your questions, answered
Why does my boiler lock out and show a fault code?
A lockout is a safety response — no flame detected, overheat, low pressure or a fan/pressure switch fault. The code narrows it down but does not confirm the cause on its own.
Can I reset it myself?
Once is reasonable. If it locks out again, stop and call us — repeated resets can make the fault worse and can be unsafe.
