When your boiler stops working, it is rarely at a convenient time.
You may have no heating, no hot water, a fault code on the display, pressure that keeps dropping, or a leak that needs checking before it gets worse. Aquatech Heating & Plumbing provides boiler repair and fault-finding help for homeowners, landlords and property managers in Chichester and the surrounding West Sussex area.

Boiler Breakdowns and Fault Finding in Chichester
A boiler fault can look simple from the outside, but the cause is not always obvious. No hot water might be linked to a boiler fault, controls, pressure, a valve, a pump or another part of the heating system.
That is why proper fault finding matters.
Aquatech can inspect the boiler and connected heating system, identify the likely cause of the problem, and explain what needs to happen next. Where a repair is practical, Simon will talk you through the work involved. If the boiler is old, unreliable or uneconomical to repair, he can also advise on replacement options without pushing you into a decision.
Common reasons people call Aquatech include:
- No heating
- No hot water
- Boiler breakdowns
- Boiler fault codes
- Boiler pressure dropping
- Leaks around the boiler or heating system
- Strange noises from the boiler
- Pilot light or ignition problems
- Radiators not heating properly
- Boiler lockouts or repeated resets
- Concerns about an older boiler
If you are not sure whether the issue is the boiler or the wider heating system, Aquatech can help you work out the cause.
Common Boiler Problems We Repair
Boiler problems often start small. A pressure drop, an occasional fault code, or a noise that comes and goes can be easy to ignore until the heating stops altogether.
Aquatech helps with a range of boiler repair and heating fault issues in and around Chichester, including:
Low boiler pressure
If your boiler pressure keeps dropping, there may be a leak, an issue with the expansion vessel, a pressure relief valve problem, or another fault in the system. Repressurising the boiler may only be a short-term fix if the underlying cause is not found.
No heating or no hot water
Losing heating or hot water can be caused by several different faults. Aquatech can check the boiler, controls and connected heating components to find the likely cause and advise on the right repair.
Leaking boilers
A leak should always be checked promptly. Water around the boiler can point to a worn seal, pressure issue, corroded component or connected pipework problem. If you can see water leaking, turn the boiler off if it is safe to do so and call for advice.
Unusual boiler noises
Banging, whistling, gurgling or vibrating noises can be caused by trapped air, circulation problems, limescale, pump faults or other issues. A proper inspection can help prevent further damage.
Ignition and pilot light faults
If your boiler will not ignite, keeps cutting out, or the pilot light will not stay on, it needs checking by a qualified Gas Safe engineer. Do not attempt gas boiler repairs yourself.
Fault codes and boiler lockouts
Modern boilers often show a fault code when something is wrong. The code is useful, but it does not always tell the whole story. Aquatech can interpret the fault and check the actual cause before recommending a repair.
Major boiler brands
Aquatech works with major boiler brands, including Worcester Bosch, Vaillant and Ideal. If you are not sure whether your boiler brand can be repaired, call with the make, model and fault details and Simon can advise.
Repair or Replace? Honest Advice From a Local Engineer
Not every boiler fault means you need a new boiler.
In many cases, a repair is the sensible option, especially if the boiler is generally reliable, parts are available, and the rest of the heating system is in reasonable condition. A good repair can get things working again without the cost and disruption of a full replacement.
There are times, though, when replacement may be the better long-term decision. If a boiler is old, inefficient, repeatedly breaking down, expensive to repair, or likely to need more major work soon, it may be worth comparing the repair cost against a new boiler installation.
Aquatech’s approach is straightforward: find the fault, explain the options, and help you make a practical decision.
If your existing boiler can be repaired sensibly, Simon will tell you. If replacing it would be better value over time, he will explain why.
For customers who do need a new boiler, Aquatech also provides boiler installation in Chichester.
Gas Safe Boiler Repairs
Gas boiler repair should only be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Aquatech Heating & Plumbing is Gas Safe registered, registration number 518050, and qualified to work on domestic natural gas and LPG systems. This matters because boiler repair is not just about getting the heating back on. It also needs to be done safely, with the correct checks and standards.
If you are a homeowner, landlord or property manager, you should always check that the engineer working on a gas boiler is properly registered for the type of work being carried out.
Aquatech can help with boiler-related faults, heating issues, safety concerns and practical advice on what to do next.
Boiler Repairs for Homeowners and Landlords
Aquatech works with local homeowners, landlords and property managers across Chichester and nearby areas.
For homeowners, a boiler fault can disrupt the whole house. No heating, no hot water, or an unreliable boiler quickly becomes stressful, especially in colder weather or if you have young children, older relatives or vulnerable people at home.
For landlords and property managers, boiler problems also need clear communication and a reliable response. Tenants need heating and hot water, and landlords need to know what has gone wrong, what the repair options are, and whether the system is safe.
Aquatech can inspect the issue, explain the likely cause, and provide practical advice before repair work is carried out.
If the problem is part of the wider central heating system rather than the boiler itself, Simon can also advise on heating repairs, controls, radiators, pumps and connected components.
LPG Boiler Repair
Aquatech is qualified to work on both natural gas and LPG systems.
This may be useful for homes and properties around Chichester and West Sussex that are not connected to mains gas. LPG systems should still be checked and repaired by a suitably qualified Gas Safe engineer, and it is important to use someone with the right LPG competence.
If you have an LPG boiler fault, call Aquatech with the details of the boiler, the fault and the property location so Simon can advise on the next step.
