No Hot Water? We Can Usually Fix It Today


 

Woken up to cold showers? If your hot water tank, cylinder or water heater has stopped heating, we can usually get you sorted the same day anywhere in Leeds. We repair all types of hot water systems – pressurised (unvented) cylinders like Megaflo, older hot water tanks fed from the loft, electric immersion systems and thermal stores in flats.

Quick Checks Before You Call

  • Is the boiler on and working? If you have no heating either, the problem may be the boiler rather than the cylinder – see our boiler repairs page.
  • Is the hot water timer or programmer on? Power cuts and clock changes can reset it.
  • Is the immersion switch on? Check the switch on the wall (often in the airing cupboard) and that the fuse spur hasn’t tripped.
  • On Economy 7? If the tank only heats overnight, check the Economy 7 timer and that the boost button hasn’t been left off.

Please don’t take the covers off the immersion or cylinder controls – there are live electrical parts behind them.

 

Common Reasons for No Hot Water

  • Immersion element burnt out – the most common cause on electric systems. We carry replacement elements.
  • Thermostat or high-limit cut-out tripped or failed – the cylinder’s safety cut-out switches off the heat if it gets too hot, and it can fail.
  • Motorised (zone) valve stuck – on boiler-heated systems, the valve that lets hot water from the boiler into the cylinder can stick shut.
  • Programmer or cylinder thermostat fault – the boiler isn’t being told to heat the hot water.
  • Economy 7 timer fault – the tank isn’t heating overnight.
  • Thermal store pump or control fault in flats with systems such as Gledhill PulsaCoil.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I have heating but no hot water?

Usually the motorised valve that sends hot water from the boiler to the cylinder is stuck, or the cylinder thermostat or programmer isn’t calling for hot water. It’s a common, fixable fault.

Why have I suddenly got no hot water from my immersion?

The most likely causes are a burnt-out immersion element or a tripped or faulty thermostat. Check the switch and fuse spur first, then call us.

Can I reset my hot water cylinder myself?

Some cylinders have a manual reset on the high-limit thermostat, but it is behind a cover with live parts. If it keeps tripping, there’s an underlying fault, so it’s best to have it checked.

How quickly can you come out?

We offer a same-day service across Leeds and are often with you within the hour. We’re open 24 hours, 7 days a week.

Do you charge a call-out fee?

No. We charge a fixed hourly rate from the time we arrive (a diagnostic charge applies) and give a fully itemised invoice.

Having had difficulties with the draining of water from our toilet, I called Emergencyman for help. Mark arrived exactly on time and worked tirelessly on the task in hand. He was polite, professional and more than keen to explain his work so I understood what he was doing. having resolved the issue, I would wholeheartedly recommend this service to others. Thank you Mark

Thank you Emergencyman Plumber for coming out on a Sunday to help us urgently sort out a blocked bath and kitchen pipes in a flat. Julie was very clear on the phone on what we should expect, how much it will cost and confirmed with us several times to check we understood everything. She also made sure Mark the plumber called us back to confirm details of the issue. Mark then came round within 30mins and sorted the problem out quickly and without any fuss. Mark was very friendly, kind, professional and very respectful of the property. Without Mark and Julie, we won't be able to use the bath or kitchen for the whole weekend! Seeing that it was an emergency plumbing issue, it was definitely worth the cost! Thank you so much for your help! We will use you again and recommend your services to our friends and family."

After having a blockage in my toilet for nearly a week with seven workmen (from other companies) attending without resolving the issue, Mark came on the same day I phoned and within an hour identified and resolved the issue. Highly recommend and would definitely use again.

Called Mark this morning to fix water leak under the kitchen floor. He was able to come out the same morning. It was very difficult to get at and it needed him to crawl under the floor boards to get to it. It also needed a lesser-used part but he carried a spare in his well-stocked van anyway. Despite that he was able to fix it quickly. I was really pleased he was able to respond so quickly. I was also really pleased with the friendly, effective and professional service I received. I would definitely use him again and would have no hesitation in recommending him to our friends. Cheers
