No heating, no hot water, or a boiler showing a fault code — we diagnose the actual cause before quoting any repair, and give honest advice on when repair still makes sense. Gas Safe registered engineers covering Farnham, Guildford, Godalming, Farnborough, Fleet and Camberley.
We find the actual cause before quoting any repair.
This page covers boiler and central heating faults — a system that was working and has stopped, or is not performing as it should. That includes the boiler itself, the pump, valves, radiators and controls it drives as one heating system, because in practice a fault in one rarely stays isolated from the rest.
This is for homeowners with a boiler or heating fault needing prompt, honest diagnosis, and for landlords and letting agents responding to a tenant repair report where a clear explanation is needed for the tenant and the property file. If you're planning ahead rather than dealing with a current fault, see Boiler Installation & Replacement for a new boiler, or Boiler Servicing for planned annual maintenance.

What a proper diagnosis covers
Common faults and what they actually indicate.
The same symptom can have several different causes. We diagnose which one applies to your system before quoting any repair, so you know what you're paying for and why.
Common Boiler Faults
A fault code or symptom narrows down the likely cause, but it doesn't confirm it on its own — that takes a proper inspection.
Lockout or fault code displayed on the control board
Low system pressure from a slow leak or trapped air
Frozen condensate pipe causing a winter lockout
No hot water but heating works, or the reverse
Kettling, cold radiators, or a failed pump or diverter valve
We don't quote a repair from a description of symptoms alone. An engineer reads any fault code and error history, checks system pressure and pump operation, and inspects the components most likely to be responsible before confirming what's actually wrong.
Fault code and error history read from the control board
System pressure and pump operation checked
Physical inspection of the components most likely responsible
Repair only quoted once the actual fault is confirmed
Repair timescale depends heavily on whether the part is a common component readily sourced, or a model-specific part for an older or less common boiler. We check availability as soon as a fault is confirmed.
Availability checked as soon as the fault is confirmed
Common components held or readily sourced
Model-specific parts identified where a boiler is older or less common
A realistic timescale given, including where a part needs to be ordered in
Some faults sit in the heating system rather than the boiler itself. We treat these as part of the same repair visit where they're the actual cause of a heating problem.
Not every fault is worth fixing on an older boiler. We'll tell you plainly when a repair is a reasonable fix and when it's a temporary one on a boiler approaching the end of its practical life.
Parts availability reduces as a boiler ages
Individual repairs become a larger proportion of remaining boiler value
A run of separate faults can signal general failure rather than one isolated problem
Honest guidance on repair versus replacement before you commit
The same symptom can have several different causes.
We don't quote a repair from a description of symptoms alone, because the same symptom can have several different causes. An engineer attends, reads any fault code and error history the boiler has recorded, checks system pressure and pump operation, and physically inspects the components most likely to be responsible before confirming what's actually wrong.
Only then do we quote the repair, so you know what you're paying for and why, rather than paying for a guess. Repair timescale then depends heavily on whether the part needed is a common component readily sourced, or a model-specific part for an older or less common boiler — we check availability as soon as a fault is confirmed and give a realistic timescale rather than an optimistic one.
Fault code and error history read as a starting point, not a substitute for diagnosis
System pressure, pump operation and likely components physically inspected
Repair only quoted once the actual fault is confirmed
Realistic parts timescale given, including where a part needs to be ordered in

I'm the site Manager at St Paul's primary school and we have used ComGas for a whole refit of our water pipes. They was brilliant excellent friendly team never left a mess and the pipe work is so neat and tidy very professional work. We Also had an issue with our school Kitchen gas interlock system I called on Thursday morning they was there checking it over and parts ordered and fixed by Monday morning definitely recommend this company for any of your works especially in schools.

Comgas fit our central heating system six years ago and made a fantastic job of it .They have serviced it regularly every year ever since .
Matt has done the last two services for us and he is very thorough, he rectified a couple of small issues with the rads and is always pleasant and informative. He advices us of what he’s done and what he thinks will be required on our next years service.
We are happy to continue with their services and have found all the guys to be reliable and trustworthy.

"…ended up coming to my place of work and sorting an old heating system that hadn't worked for years in a car showroom & workshop. Great team of guys"
My boiler is showing a fault code — what does that mean?
Fault codes point towards the general area of the problem — ignition, water pressure, a sensor, or the fan, for example — but they don't confirm the exact cause on their own. We use the code as a starting point for diagnosis, not a substitute for it, and confirm the actual fault before quoting.
Why do I have hot water but no heating (or the other way round)?
This pattern usually points to a diverter valve or a specific sensor fault rather than a boiler that's failed completely, since the boiler is clearly still firing and heating water. We diagnose which component is actually responsible before quoting a repair.
Is a banging or gurgling noise from my boiler serious?
It's worth having checked. Kettling — a banging or rumbling sound — is commonly caused by limescale or sludge restricting flow through the heat exchanger, and left unaddressed it accelerates wear and can lead to a more expensive failure.
My boiler has lost pressure again after I topped it up — why?
Repeated pressure loss almost always means there's a leak somewhere in the system, even a very small one, rather than a fault with the pressure gauge or the boiler needing repeated topping up as routine. We trace the source rather than just repressurising it each time.
Should I repair my boiler or replace it?
It depends on the boiler's age, the part needed, and its recent fault history. We give an honest view during diagnosis — a young boiler with one fixable fault is usually worth repairing; an old boiler with a costly part and a history of breakdowns usually isn't. See Boiler Installation & Replacement if replacement looks like the better route.
How quickly can you attend a no-heat or no-hot-water call?
We prioritise genuine no-heat and no-hot-water faults, particularly in cold weather, ahead of routine work. Exact attendance time depends on current workload and location, which we'll confirm when you call.
Is this the same as an annual boiler service?
No. This page covers diagnosing and fixing an existing fault. Planned annual maintenance — checked and recorded before anything goes wrong — is covered on our Boiler Servicing page.
What should I do if I smell gas or suspect a leak?
Turn off the gas supply and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 before contacting us. We'll talk you through the necessary safety steps over the phone.
