Common heating problems

Radiator cold at the top: usually trapped air in the system.
Radiator cold at the bottom: often a build-up of sludge in the system.
Some radiators hot, others cold: the system may need balancing, or a valve may be stuck.
Noisy pipes or radiators: air, sludge, limescale or a pump problem.
Heating slow to warm up: sludge, a failing pump or a controls problem.
Leaking radiator valves or pipework.
Thermostat or timer problems: heating coming on at the wrong times, or not at all.

Heating work we can help with

Why are my radiators cold at the bottom?

This is often caused by sludge, a mix of rust and debris, settling in the bottom of the radiator. Cleaning the system can restore circulation.

Can you add or move a radiator?

Yes. We’ll check your system can support it and agree the best position with you.

Why is one radiator cold when the others are hot?

Usually trapped air, a stuck valve or a system that needs balancing. We find which it is and put it right.

Can you fit new heating controls or thermostats?

Yes. We fit and set up heating controls and thermostats so your heating comes on when you need it.
