Heating Diagnosis Middlesbrough
Help identifying whether a heating problem is coming from the boiler, controls, radiators or wider central heating system.
Not sure where the heating problem is?
Heating problems are not always caused by the boiler. Thermostats, programmers, pumps, motorised valves, radiator valves, circulation and system pressure can all affect how the heating behaves.
For the fuller fault-finding service, see Heating Fault Diagnosis Middlesbrough. If the boiler itself is clearly locking out, leaking or showing a fault code, see boiler repair.
This page is intended as a simple route for customers who know the heating is not right but are not yet sure which part of the system is responsible.
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.
How do I know whether the boiler or heating system is at fault?
You often cannot tell from the symptom alone. Whether hot water still works, which radiators are affected, boiler pressure and any displayed fault code can all help narrow down the cause.

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. MP Heating Services can help with suitable gas-appliance work within our registered scope.
