Common heating problems we fix

Cold radiators

Cold at top: trapped air, needs bleeding. Cold at bottom: sludge buildup, needs power flush. Some radiators cold: balancing issue or stuck valve.

Noisy heating system

Banging, kettling, or whistling noises usually mean limescale buildup, air in the system, or faulty pump. We diagnose and fix the root cause.

Low pressure

Boiler pressure dropping below 1 bar means a leak somewhere or a faulty pressure relief valve. We find and fix the leak.

Leaking radiator valves

Dripping valves waste water and can damage floors. We replace valve glands, tail pieces, or the entire valve if needed.

Pump failure

Heating pump pushes hot water around your system. If it fails, radiators stay cold even though the boiler is on. We replace pumps same-day.

System not heating up

Motorised valves, thermostats, or wiring faults can stop the system heating. We diagnose electrical and mechanical issues.

Frequently asked questions

Why is one radiator cold when the rest are hot?

Usually a stuck thermostatic valve (TRV) or the radiator needs balancing. Less common: sludge blockage in that specific radiator. We can diagnose on-site.

Can you fix heating systems installed by other companies?

Yes, we repair all heating systems regardless of who installed them. We work on all boiler brands and heating setups.

How long do heating repairs take?

Simple repairs like bleeding radiators or replacing a valve take 30-60 minutes. Pump or pressure vessel replacement takes 1-2 hours. Power flushing to remove sludge takes 4-8 hours.
