You don’t take out boiler cover because you expect your boiler to break.

You take it out because 𝐢𝐟 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐠𝐨 𝐰𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭.

No hunting around for an engineer on a freezing morning.
No wondering who you can trust.
No suddenly remembering that service you meant to book months ago.

That’s the idea behind our 𝐁𝐨𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐬.

We help stay on top of the things that are easy to forget, annual servicing, safety checks, reminders and the general health of your heating system. so you can get on with everything else.

And if an unexpected breakdown happens, depending on the plan you choose, you can have 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐭.

Because there’s a big difference between:

“𝐌𝐲 𝐛𝐨𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧… 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐈 𝐝𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐰?”

and

“𝐌𝐲 𝐛𝐨𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧… 𝐈 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥.”

That peace of mind is what the cover is really about.

Plans start from just £𝟏𝟐 𝐚 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡, with 𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐳𝐞, 𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐫 and 𝐆𝐨𝐥𝐝 options depending on how much support you want.

👕💧 𝐃𝐑𝐘𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐂𝐋𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐒 𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐀𝐃𝐈𝐀𝐓𝐎𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐑?
THE WATER DOESN’T DISAPPEAR. IT JUST MOVES SOMEWHERE ELSE.

I learned something today that made me look at wet washing very differently. 🐶
Wet clothes.
Hot radiator.
Seemed like a perfect partnership.

Put the clothes on top…
radiator heats them…
clothes dry.

𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐝.

Apparently there’s one small detail I completely forgot:
𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐠𝐨? 👀

The radiator doesn’t magically make the water disappear.

As the clothes warm up, the water inside them 𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐚𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞.

And this is where 𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 becomes really important.
If fresh air can move through the room and that moist air can escape, much of that moisture can be carried outside.

But if you’re drying washing in a closed up room with poor ventilation…
all that moisture has nowhere easy to go.
So it builds up in the indoor air.
Then that warm, moist air eventually meets something colder:

A window.
An outside wall.
A cold corner.
Behind furniture.

And then…

💧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.
That’s when you start seeing things like:

🪟 wet windows in the morning
💧 damp patches
⚫ black marks around cold corners or windows
🌫️ that musty damp smell

And if those surfaces stay damp for long enough…
𝐌𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐂𝐀𝐍 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐓𝐎 𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐖.

So what started as:
“𝐈’𝐦 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐝𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭’𝐬 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠.”

can become:
𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 → 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 → 𝐝𝐚𝐦𝐩 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐬 → 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰.

So drying clothes indoors doesn’t automatically mean you’ll get mould.
The bigger problem is:

𝐋𝐎𝐓𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐌𝐎𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄 + 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐄𝐍𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍.

That combination can create the perfect conditions for condensation, damp and eventually mould.

I genuinely thought the water just…
left. 🐶

Apparently houses do not have a delete button.

𝐒𝐎 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐃𝐎?

✅ Dry clothes outside when the weather allows.
✅ If you need to dry them indoors, use a clothes airer.
✅ Choose a room where you can provide good ventilation.
✅ Open a window slightly when appropriate, or use an extractor fan where available.
✅ If you’re drying washing in one room, keeping the door closed can help stop all that moisture spreading throughout the rest of the house.
✅ A dehumidifier can also help remove moisture from the air while clothes are drying.

𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐃𝐎𝐍’𝐓 𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐈𝐆𝐍𝐎𝐑𝐄:

❌ windows constantly covered in condensation
❌ recurring damp patches
❌ black mould appearing in corners or around windows
❌ a persistent damp or musty smell

Because wiping the window every morning deals with the water you can see.
It doesn’t deal with why all that moisture is building up in the first place.
So if you keep waking up to wet windows this winter…

maybe don’t only ask:

“Why is my house so damp?”
Ask:
“WHERE IS ALL THIS MOISTURE COMING FROM… AND CAN IT ACTUALLY ESCAPE?” 👀

I thought:

wet clothes + hot radiator = clever winter shortcut.

Apparently the better plan is:

𝐃𝐑𝐘 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐋𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐒… 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐆𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐎𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄 𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐆𝐎.

𝐁𝐨𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐮𝐞 𝐚 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐮𝐩?

It’s easy to put it off when the heating still seems to be working. 𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐝𝐨.

But winter is usually when a small issue becomes a much bigger inconvenience and the last thing you want is to be 𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐛𝐨𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭.

We’re a local Yorkshire team, so we keep things simple. We’ll explain what’s going on, tell you what needs doing, and help get things sorted without making it more complicated than it needs to be.

🥶 𝐁𝐎𝐈𝐋𝐄𝐑 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐏𝐏𝐄𝐃 𝐎𝐍 𝐀 𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐙𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐍𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓?
DON’T TURN THE OVEN INTO A HEATER.

I thought this one made perfect sense. 🐶
Boiler stopped.
House getting colder.
Oven gets hot.

So…

𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐭.

Problem solved.
Apparently…

𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 ≠ 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫.

And this one can become genuinely dangerous.

UK electrical safety guidance specifically says 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞. Ovens are designed for cooking, not for heating rooms.

𝐖𝐇𝐘 𝐃𝐎𝐄𝐒 𝐈𝐓 𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑?

🔥 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐚 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐤

Ovens and grills reach very high temperatures, and nearby materials can overheat or catch fire. They should be switched off when they’re not being used for cooking.

And if it’s a 𝐠𝐚𝐬 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐨𝐫 𝐠𝐚𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐛, there’s another serious risk:

☠️ 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐁𝐎𝐍 𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐎𝐗𝐈𝐃𝐄

Gas cookers can produce carbon monoxide if they’re faulty, poorly maintained or not operating correctly. CO is particularly dangerous because you 𝐜𝐚𝐧’𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐢𝐭.

So leaving a gas oven burning just to warm the room is definitely not a clever emergency heating plan.

I am withdrawing my suggestion. 🐶

𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐈𝐒 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐓:

❌ Never bring a barbecue indoors.
❌ Never use a charcoal grill inside.
❌ Don’t use an outdoor camping stove indoors unless the manufacturer specifically says it is designed for indoor use.

Burning fuel indoors can allow dangerous carbon monoxide to build up. The NHS specifically warns against using barbecues or camping stoves indoors.

𝐒𝐎 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐃𝐎 𝐈𝐅 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐅𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐒?

✅ Use a heater that is actually designed for 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠, following its instructions.
✅ Use suitable warm clothing and bedding while the heating problem is being dealt with.
✅ Keep portable heaters away from curtains, furniture and other things that can burn.
✅ Make sure your 𝐂𝐎 𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐦 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠, especially in rooms containing fuel burning appliances.
✅ Get the boiler problem investigated rather than trying to replace it with a cooking appliance.

And if you think a gas appliance may be producing carbon monoxide:

𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐥𝐲.

The NHS says the National Gas Emergency Service can be contacted free, 24/7, on:

📞 𝟎𝟖𝟎𝟎 𝟏𝟏𝟏 𝟗𝟗𝟗

I thought:

"𝐈𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐭… 𝐬𝐨 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐭?”

Apparently because:
𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐓 𝐇𝐀𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐄 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐋𝐈𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄. 🐶🔥

So if your boiler ever gives up on a freezing night…
don’t turn one problem into a 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐱𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 while trying to stay warm.

That one is worth remembering.

❄️ 𝐆𝐎𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐖𝐀𝐘 𝐈𝐍 𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐙𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐖𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑?
DON’T SWITCH THE BOILER OFF AND ASSUME YOU’RE SAVING MONEY.

I thought this one was obvious. 🐶
Nobody home?
No one needs heating.
So…
𝐬𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟𝐟.
Look at me saving money.

Apparently there’s one small problem:
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐯𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲. 👀

When temperatures drop below freezing, leaving a heating system completely inactive can increase the chance of pipes or the condensate pipe freezing. Vaillant (boiler manufacturer) specifically advises keeping a boiler active on a timer during freezing weather when you’re away, and notes that many systems have 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲/𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 designed to maintain frost protection without heating an empty house normally.

And there’s another important bit:
𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐁𝐎𝐈𝐋𝐄𝐑’𝐒 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐒𝐓 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐓𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐌𝐀𝐘 𝐍𝐄𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐎𝐈𝐋𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐎 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐘 𝐏𝐎𝐖𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐃.

On systems with built in frost protection, switching the boiler completely off at the power can prevent that protection from operating. The exact setup varies by boiler and controls, so follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

So that little attempt to save a few pounds while you’re away…
could potentially come home to:
❄️ 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐳𝐞𝐧 𝐩𝐢𝐩𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤
💧 𝐚 𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐫 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐢𝐩𝐞
🔥 𝐚 𝐛𝐨𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭
🏠 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞
🥶 𝐧𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧

Which makes the saving feel considerably less impressive.

𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐓𝐎 𝐃𝐎 𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐀𝐃
✅ Check whether your boiler or thermostat has a Holiday / Away / Frost Protection mode.
✅ Follow the settings recommended for your specific heating system.
✅ During freezing weather, avoid leaving the whole system completely inactive unless the manufacturer’s instructions say otherwise.
✅ If you’re unsure, ask your heating engineer before going away.

And one important distinction:
𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐲 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐭.
The idea is simply to give the system enough protection against freezing.

I thought:
Empty house = boiler off.

Apparently the better thought is:
“𝐖𝐇𝐎’𝐒 𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐅𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐒𝐄 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐄 𝐈’𝐌 𝐆𝐎𝐍𝐄?” 🐶❄️
