No Hot Water Linthorpe
Boiler hot-water fault help for cold taps, intermittent hot water and combi-boiler problems in Linthorpe.
Hot-water fault symptoms
Hot-water problems can be intermittent or complete. Whether the central heating still works, whether the boiler fires when a tap opens and whether a fault code appears are all useful details when diagnosing the problem.
If the fault is clearly at the boiler, use boiler repair in Linthorpe. If the heating has failed as well, see no heating.
- Hot water runs cold after a short time

Frequently asked questions
What should I do if I smell gas?
If you smell gas or suspect a gas escape, turn off the gas at the emergency control valve if safe to do so, ventilate the property, avoid using electrical switches or naked flames, leave the property if necessary and call the National Gas Emergency Service immediately on 0800 111 999.
Why can the heating work while the hot water does not?
A combi boiler uses different components and control signals for heating and hot-water demand, so a fault can affect one function while the other still operates.

Gas Safety Advice
What should I do if I smell gas?
If you smell gas or suspect a gas escape, turn off the gas at the emergency control valve if safe to do so, ventilate the property, avoid using electrical switches or naked flames, leave the property if necessary and call the National Gas Emergency Service immediately on 0800 111 999.
What does a gas leak smell like?
Natural gas is odourless, but an odourant is added so leaks are easier to detect. It is commonly described as a strong sulphur or rotten-egg smell. Carbon monoxide is different: it has no smell, colour or taste, so a working carbon monoxide alarm is important around fuel-burning appliances.
Who should check a suspected gas leak?
If you suspect an active gas escape, contact the National Gas Emergency Service first on 0800 111 999 and follow their instructions. Once the immediate situation has been made safe, a Gas Safe registered engineer can inspect or repair an affected gas appliance where further work is required.
