Vaillant Boiler Problems in Fulham SW6
Vaillant boiler problems in Fulham are an expensive inconvenience at the best of times. The majority of Vaillant boiler breakdowns occur during the cold winter months, when boilers – having been inactive for long periods – are forced back into life, essentially putting considerable strain on your central heating as it quickly increases its work during the winter.
While some common Vaillant boiler problems can be addressed without the need to call in a heating engineer typically, others will require the services of a qualified and experienced professional. If in doubt, it’s always best to seek professional help from a reputable engineer in Fulham.
From weird noises to drips and leaks, The Italian Plumber Services counts down the ten most common boiler problems we have in the Fulham and you should look out for:
- No heat or hot water– potential causes include broken diaphragms and airlocks, failure of motorised valves, issues with the thermostat or low water levels.
- Leaking and dripping– a variety of issues could cause your boiler to leak water. It will depend on where the water is leaking from to determine the cause.
- Strange banging, whistling or gurgling noises– air in the system is a common cause, alternatively it could be that the water pressure is too low or it’s kettling. Pump failure, particularly in older systems, could also be responsible for strange banging noises.
- Pilot light goes out– could be a broken thermocouple which is removing the gas supply to the pilot light, a draught blowing the pilot light out or a deposit built up in the pilot light.
- Losing pressure– a water leak in the system is the most common reason for a loss of pressure. But it could also mean that the pressure relief valve needs replacing.
- Frozen condensate pipe– Thawing a frozen condensate pipe should ideally be done by a qualified engineer.
- Thermostatissues – if the thermostat is losing accuracy or turning the heating on/off when it’s not supposed to it might be time to invest in a newer, more energy efficient one.
- Kettling– hearing a strange rumbling noise? When lime scale builds up on your boiler’s heat exchange you get kettling.
- Radiators not getting hot– corroded pipework can cause sludge to gather in the system, preventing the free flow of hot water to the radiators. Chemically cleaning or flushing the system will remove these deposits.
- Boiler keeps switching itself off– could be low water pressure, a problem with the thermostat or a lack of water flow due to a closed valve, air or the pump not circulating the water in the system properly.

Some FQAs about Vaillant Boilers
Anywhere between 1.0 and 2.0 bar is ideal. The exact recommended pressure level will depend on the boiler manufacturer. When heating your home or having the hot tap on, the boiler pressure level will rise, but it should stay below the upper-pressure limit of 3 bar.
This is most likely cause is the comfort feature being active and this would be displayed on the screen with a c symbol. If you turn the hot water control all the way to 0 then back to your desired temperature, the c symbol will disappear.
An F22 error code is a common problem and means that the water pressure on your boiler has fallen and that it needs to be increased before the system will run again.
If your boiler is heating water but not your radiators, then the cause could be a faulty boiler pump or your central heating controls. Check that the thermostat or timer is working correctly as this may be the issue.
Most newer boilers have sensors that will measure the pressure of the water in the system. If the pressure drops, the sensors kick in and display an error code and a red light may display on the board. This simply means the boiler is not firing correctly.
One of the most common reasons for a lack of hot water is a boiler fault. Contact a GSR Engineer ASAP if your boiler is faulty. Other causes could be low or high water pressure, an interruption to the power supply, an issue with the timer or a piping issue.
