Landlord InfoWhy Wigston Locals Trust Us
Unlike general plumbers who might turn their hand to anything, Leicester Boilers 24/7 focuses entirely on gas heating. This means when you call us to your home in Wigston, you get an engineer who diagnoses boiler faults every single day — not someone who was fitting a bathroom last week.
Wigston is a mixed-tenure area with a wide spread of boiler ages and types. The pre-1970s terraced and semi-detached housing in Bull Head Street, Leicester Road and the older village centre often has aging gravity-fed or back-boiler systems that need specialist knowledge — not a general plumber who guesses. The newer builds around Newton Lane and the Wigston Meadows development typically run modern sealed pressurised combi systems, where a pressure drop or fault code needs fast accurate diagnosis to avoid extended downtime. We carry parts for both ends of the spectrum and diagnostic equipment for all major manufacturers, so most faults are resolved on the first visit regardless of property age.
We are fully Gas Safe Registered (666755). You can verify this at any time at gassaferegister.co.uk. Please ask to see the engineer's card on arrival.

My boiler keeps losing pressure — is that serious? ▼
Persistent pressure loss usually indicates a system leak or a faulty pressure relief valve. In Wigston and the wider Leicester area, hard water accelerates scale build-up inside expansion vessels, making this fault particularly common. It should be investigated promptly — left untreated it can cause the boiler to shut down entirely and may develop into a more costly repair.
Is it better to repair or replace my boiler in Wigston? ▼
That depends on the age of the boiler, the type of fault, and the overall reliability history. We always give honest advice — if a repair is cost-effective we'll say so. If we believe a replacement would save you money over the next 3–5 years, we'll explain exactly why and provide a free fixed-price quote with no pressure.
Common Boiler Problems We Fix in Wigston
Most boiler faults follow recognisable patterns. Here are the issues we get called out to most frequently across the LE18 area.
Boiler Losing Pressure
Leicester's hard water accelerates scale build-up in expansion vessels and PRVs. Pressure dropping below 1 bar? We find the real cause rather than just topping up.
Boiler Won't Ignite or Fire
No flame or fault code showing? We identify ignition electrode, gas valve and PCB faults on all major brands. Most parts carried as van stock.
Radiators Cold at Bottom
Bleeding won't fix magnetite sludge — a common problem in older Wigston heating systems. We carry out chemical flushes and full power flushes.
Boiler Making Noises
Banging, kettling or whistling usually means limescale on the heat exchanger or circulation issues. Diagnosed and quoted on the first visit.
No Hot Water
A faulty diverter valve is the most common cause in Wigston combi boilers. We stock the part for Worcester Bosch, Vaillant and Ideal and can fix same day.
Fault Codes on the Display
Worcester Bosch EA, Vaillant F22, Ideal F1 — we decode and resolve brand-specific error codes. Explained in plain English, not jargon.
Not sure what's wrong? Call us on 0116 442 2959 and describe the symptoms — we can often give an initial diagnosis over the phone before sending an engineer.
More Reviews from Wigston Customers
"Boiler pressure kept dropping. Mark traced a slow leak in the pipework behind the boiler — something two previous engineers had missed. Fixed properly, no mess, very reasonable."
— David H., South Wigston
"Used them for both a repair and annual service in LE18. Great communication, tidy work and genuinely honest advice about whether to repair or replace. Will use again."
— Priya K., Wigston Fields
