Safety First

Smell gas? Turn off the gas supply at the meter if it is safe to do so. Open windows. Leave the property. Call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999. Do not use switches, and do not use naked flames.

CO alarm sounding? Stop using the boiler. Open doors and windows. Leave the property. Call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999. If anyone is drowsy, breathless or has a headache, call 999 as well. Do not re-enter until you are told it is safe.

Boiler leaking heavily? Turn off the boiler at the controls. If safe, turn off the water supply. Call an engineer.

Quick Checks Before You Call

Before calling an engineer, these safe checks may resolve simple issues with your Main boiler.

Check the gas supply

Is gas working at other appliances in your home? If not, check your meter and any prepayment credit.

Check the pressure gauge

Pressure should read around 1.0 to 1.5 bar when cold. If below 1 bar, you may need to repressurise using the filling loop.

Check the thermostat

Is the room thermostat set above current room temperature? Are the batteries working?

Check the timer or programmer

Is the heating scheduled to be on? Check the clock is set correctly.

Try a single reset

Locate the reset button on your Main boiler. Press once and wait. If the fault returns, do not keep resetting. Call an engineer.

Check the condensate pipe

In cold weather, the external condensate pipe can freeze. Look for a white plastic pipe exiting through an outside wall. If frozen, pour warm water over it gently.

Main Fault Codes

Common Main fault codes and what to do

Code/What It Means/What To Do

E119 Low system water pressure

Top up to 1.0 to 1.5 bar. If it drops again within days, call an engineer.

E133 Ignition failure (no flame established)

Check gas supply and whether other gas appliances work. In freezing weather, check condensate pipe. If still locked out, call an engineer.

E110 Overheat protection triggered

Do not keep resetting. Call an engineer to check circulation and safety controls.

E168 Flame signal or control fault (model dependent)

Reset once. If it returns, call an engineer for safe checks and testing.

E160 Fan or airflow fault (model dependent)

Call an engineer. Do not attempt DIY on flues or remove the casing.

E125 Circulation or flow issue (model dependent)

Check radiators are warming evenly. If flow seems poor or it returns, call an engineer.

Note: Main fault codes can vary by model and display type. If your code is not listed here, call us with the exact code and model and we will advise the safest next step.

Not sure which fault you have?

Call with your model and the code on the display. We will tell you what is likely involved before anyone attends.

Most Searched Main Problems

If you are seeing a lockout, loss of hot water, or your Main boiler keeps resetting, tell us the fault code and model and we will confirm the safest next step.

E133 – ignition failure

E133 is the most common Main fault code. The boiler tries to ignite but no flame is established. Common causes include gas supply issues, a faulty ignition electrode, or a blocked condensate pipe in winter. Check gas is on elsewhere in the home. Try one reset. If the lockout returns, stop and call an engineer.

E119 – low pressure

If your Main shows E119, system pressure has dropped below the minimum threshold. Top up via the filling loop to around 1.0 to 1.5 bar when cold. If pressure drops again within days, there may be a leak in the system or a failing expansion vessel. Call an engineer to find the cause.

E110 – overheat protection

If your Main shows E110, the boiler has overheated and locked out for safety. This can indicate a circulation problem, pump failure, or blocked heat exchanger. Do not keep resetting. Call an engineer to check the system.

No hot water but heating works

On Main combi boilers, you may get heating but no hot water, or the reverse. This often points to a diverter valve issue. The diverter valve directs hot water between taps and radiators. When it wears or sticks, hot water delivery becomes unreliable. Call an engineer for diagnosis.

Why Main Boilers Develop Faults

Main is part of the Baxi Group, sharing many components with Baxi and Potterton. Here is what we commonly see.

Ignition electrode wear

Ignition faults (E133) can occur when the ignition electrode wears or becomes coated with carbon. Condensate blockages in winter can also contribute to repeated lockouts.

Low pressure and expansion vessel faults (E119)

Low pressure faults often point to a failing expansion vessel or a weeping pressure relief valve. The expansion vessel absorbs pressure changes as water heats and cools. If the diaphragm fails or the air charge is lost, pressure drops can occur.

Circulation and flow issues (E125)

E125 can indicate poor circulation through the system. This may be caused by a failing pump, sludge buildup, or closed radiator valves. A powerflush may help restore flow.

Fan and airflow faults (E160)

Fan faults prevent safe combustion and flue gas extraction. The boiler will lock out for safety. Causes include fan motor failure, wiring faults, or flue blockages.

Diverter valve on combi boilers

The diverter valve directs hot water between your taps and radiators. When it wears or sticks, you may get heating but no hot water, or the reverse.

Repair or Replace Your Main Boiler?

We help you decide based on age, reliability, and parts availability.

Repair makes sense when

  • Boiler is under 10 years old
  • This is the first major fault
  • Parts are readily available
  • Boiler has been regularly serviced

Replacement may be better when

  • Boiler is 12 to 15 years old or more
  • You have had multiple breakdowns recently
  • Parts are obsolete or hard to source
  • The boiler is undersized for the property
  • Energy bills are higher than expected for the property size

Our engineers give honest assessments. We focus on safety and reliability, not pushing unnecessary replacements.

Main Boiler Servicing

Annual servicing reduces breakdown risk and keeps your Main boiler running efficiently. See Boiler servicing London.

Good value for money & was able to sort out my boiler quickly by ordering next day delivery for broken parts. Friendly, punctual service and laid out all the costs beforehand which was helpful. Would recommend.

Booked them in for a power flush after ongoing heating issues. The engineer was very thorough and explained what was being done at each stage. We noticed a huge difference in how quickly the radiators now heat up.
