A boiler that appears to provide no hot water needs careful separation of water-side symptoms from gas-appliance work. Maintenance Men is not Gas Safe registered and does not service or repair gas burners, valves, flues, combustion or gas supply. We can assess appropriate non-gas water-side and electrical components such as accessible controls, thermostats, pumps, diverter valves, radiators and circulation, within competence. If the issue indicates gas-side operation, we stop and recommend a trusted Gas Safe registered partner, who performs and quotes that work directly.
Describe hot water and heating separately
Tell us whether space heating still works, whether the hot-water cylinder has warmed at all, and whether the fault affects all outlets. In a stored-water system, a boiler can heat a cylinder through a separate control and circulation path; in other arrangements, water may be heated differently. The symptom “boiler not producing hot water” does not by itself identify which path has failed. You may note any displayed code without removing the boiler casing, and check only normal user controls. Do not reset repeatedly, dismantle the appliance or try to relight it if you are unsure. If you smell gas, follow emergency instructions rather than booking a routine assessment.
What we can assess safely
We establish whether the fault appears to involve cylinder controls, thermostat, accessible pump or water circulation, a diverter valve, or an electrical control within our competence. We look at system behaviour and visible water-side components, and may compare whether heating demand changes what the system does. We do not open a gas boiler or inspect a burner, gas valve, combustion chamber or flue. Diagnosis of a gas-side fault is not an inspection of gas components: we may recognise safe signs that a referral is needed, then leave the gas assessment to a registered engineer. That boundary protects the customer and ensures the right work is undertaken by the right person.
Referral and repair are different scopes
If evidence points to a water-side or suitable electrical issue, we explain the repair options and any compatibility or access considerations. A pump, thermostat, control or valve may need different parts, and parts availability can affect scheduling. We quote materials and parts separately. If gas-side work is indicated, our trusted Gas Safe partner will assess and quote it directly; Maintenance Men does not carry out, commission or certify that work. A booking with us is an initial assessment of the non-gas scope, not a gas boiler service or a promise to complete a gas-related repair. Any larger work can be quoted and staged.
Take sensible precautions
Never remove the boiler casing or adjust gas components, and do not keep resetting an electrical device that trips. If there is water near electrical equipment, stay clear and isolate only from a safe, dry switch. A gas smell requires immediate action: do not use switches, appliances or flames; open doors and windows if safe; turn off gas at the meter only if safely accessible and you know how; leave and call 0800 111 999 from outside. Do not re-enter until advised safe. A suspected gas leak is not a Maintenance Men booking.
Arrange the appropriate visit
Book online for an initial assessment of non-gas water-side or electrical symptoms. Tell us whether heating works, whether you have a cylinder, any visible control code and when the fault began. Do not send yourself into danger to collect information. The booking fee is paid when booking; the hourly labour rate depends on how soon the visit is needed. We provide the full cost for any work we propose and get approval before starting. Parts or materials may be quoted separately. Gas appliance work is assessed and quoted by the trusted Gas Safe partner directly.
Book online for water-side assessment or referral guidance. A gas smell or suspected leak is an emergency, not a normal booking.
How the price works
We charge a booking fee to hold your slot, then an hourly rate for the work itself. The fee changes with how soon you need us; the hourly rate changes with the slot you choose. You approve the price before we start, so there is no surprise on the invoice.

We diagnose on site
The engineer confirms the cause and tells you what the job involves and how long it should take.
You approve, we work
Nothing goes ahead until you agree the price. Labour is then charged per hour at your slot rate.
When a boiler-linked system stops providing hot water, the cause may be on the water or electrical side, or it may involve gas-side operation that we do not undertake. We can assess suitable non-gas components, explain the distinction and arrange a trusted Gas Safe referral when needed. We will not open the boiler casing or promise a repair before diagnosis.
What our customers say about our heating & radiators service
5 out of 5 from 10 reviews
Fast, tidy and friendly
Booked the £220 booking-fee slot on Tuesday and got a message confirming the time the same morning. The cause was explained, the price agreed before any work started, and the job was done in about 46 minutes. Clean and tidy when they left.
Job: No Heating from Boiler
Turned up when they said
What I appreciated was being told what was actually wrong before anyone started. Sorted in under 46 minutes and the invoice matched the quote to the penny.
Job: Expansion Vessel Fault
Exactly what was quoted
I had put off sorting this for months because I expected a runaround. Quoted the booking fee plus hourly rate upfront, stuck to it, and actually found the underlying cause rather than just clearing the symptom. Worked neatly and hoovered up afterwards.

Questions people ask about boiler not producing hot water
Straight answers to the things customers ask most often before booking.
Can I check whether the heating still works?
If it is safe and controls are familiar, note whether normal heating operates and whether a cylinder is present. Do not remove a boiler casing or repeatedly reset it.
What can Maintenance Men check on a boiler-linked system?
We can assess suitable non-gas water-side and electrical components, such as accessible controls, circulation and cylinder arrangements, within competence. We explain findings and scope.
Do you repair gas burners or gas valves?
No. We do not perform gas or combustion work. A gas-side issue is referred to a trusted Gas Safe registered partner for direct assessment and quotation.
What if I smell gas?
Do not use switches, appliances or flames; open doors and windows if safe, leave, and call 0800 111 999 from outside. A suspected leak is not a normal booking.
How is the visit priced?
The booking fee is paid when booking and the hourly labour rate depends on how soon you need the visit. We quote the full cost for approval before work starts; parts and materials may be quoted separately.
