Quick checks, common Sime boiler fault codes (AL and F codes), and when to call a Gas Safe engineer for Sime boiler repairs in London.
Smell gas? Do not touch anything. Do not use switches. Open windows, leave the property, and call the National Gas Emergency Line: 0800 111 999.
CO alarm sounding? Treat it as real. Open windows and doors, get everyone out immediately (including pets), then call 0800 111 999 from outside.
If anyone feels unwell (headache, dizziness, nausea, confusion, chest pain, breathless, collapse), call 999.
More information: Carbon monoxide safety guide.
No gas smell, no alarm? Your Sime boiler may have locked out as a safety precaution. Try the quick checks below.
These take 60 seconds and fix many common lockouts:
Sime is an Italian manufacturer (founded in 1973) and many London properties still have Sime boilers installed from the 1990s and 2000s. Popular UK models included the Friendly, Super 90, and Format ranges. Parts are often available, but older boilers can become uneconomical if failures repeat. If your Sime is 15 to 25 years old, we normally assess repair value based on fault type, parts availability, and overall condition.
If you have a Sime 80C, 100C, or 110C model (or you are not sure), do not keep resetting an overheat or lockout fault.
Stop using the boiler and arrange an inspection by a Gas Safe registered engineer. If your appliance is subject to a manufacturer safety update, we can advise on the correct route to get it checked.
Note: Sime uses AL and F codes depending on the model range. If you are unsure, call and read exactly what the display shows.
| Code | What it Usually Means | Urgency | Safe DIY Check? |
|---|---|---|---|
| F10 / AL10 | Low water pressure | Low | Yes – top up to 1.0 to 1.2 bar (or 1.2 to 1.5 bar on some sealed systems) |
| AL01 | Flow sensing / circulation detection issue (model dependent) | Medium | No – call engineer |
| F01 | Overheat / safety thermostat tripped | High | No – do not keep resetting |
| F02 | DHW (hot water) probe short circuit (model dependent wording) | Medium | No – call engineer |
| F04 | No flame / ignition failure | Medium | Check gas is on, reset once |
| AL02 | DHW sensor fault | Medium | No – call engineer |
| AL03 | Heating sensor fault | Medium | No – call engineer |
| AL05 | Fan / flue airflow fault | High | No – call engineer |
| AL06 | Condensate drain issue or condensate system blockage (common in freezing weather) | Medium | Check condensate pipe externally (do not dismantle the boiler) |
| AL37 | Low mains voltage / electrical supply irregularity | Medium | Check sockets/fuse box; call if it persists |
Tip: If the same Sime fault code returns after one reset, stop and book an engineer. Repeated resets can worsen ignition and overheat faults.
If your gauge shows below 1 bar or you see F10 or AL10:
If pressure drops again within 24 to 48 hours, you likely have a leak or a component issue (PRV, expansion vessel, or air vent). More detail:
Complete pressure guide.
If temperatures have been below freezing and your boiler shows F04 or AL06, the condensate pipe may be frozen or blocked:
If this happens every winter, we can reroute or insulate the pipe permanently. Full guide:
How to fix a frozen condensate pipe.
Not every fault needs an emergency callout:
| Situation | Urgency |
|---|---|
| No heating but hot water works | Usually safe to wait |
| No heating or hot water, vulnerable person at home | Call now |
| Any smell of gas | Emergency – call 0800 111 999 |
| CO alarm sounding | Evacuate – call 0800 111 999 |
| Boiler leaking water | Call today |

Limescale and system sludge can contribute to overheating, noise, poor circulation and repeated lockouts. A
power flush cleans the system and helps protect your boiler.

Is it worth repairing a Sime boiler over 15 years old?
It depends. Many Sime boilers from the 1990s and 2000s are now 15 to 25 years old. If this is the first major failure, a sensible repair can still be worth it.
If faults are recurring or parts are becoming difficult to source, replacement may be more cost-effective. We will give you an honest assessment.
More detail: Repair or replace guide.
How often should I service my Sime boiler?
Once a year, ideally before winter. Annual servicing improves safety, efficiency and reliability. See:
Boiler servicing.
My boiler keeps losing pressure. What should I do?
If you need to top up regularly, you likely have a leak or a component issue (PRV, expansion vessel, or an air vent). Do not ignore it. Read our
pressure guide or call us for a diagnosis.
Do I need a Gas Safety Certificate for my rental property?
Yes. Landlords must have all gas appliances checked annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer. See:
Landlord Gas Safety Certificates.
Tenants: Contact your landlord or letting agent first. They are responsible for arranging repairs. Keep a written record of your report.
Landlords: Stay compliant with our
landlord checklist and book your annual
Gas Safety Certificate.
