Common problems
Common central heating problems
If you recognise any of these, we can find the cause and put it right.
Radiators not heating properly
Radiators that stay lukewarm or never reach full heat. Causes include trapped air, sludge, faulty valves or a balancing problem.
Uneven heating throughout the home
Some rooms are warm while others stay cold. This usually points to an imbalance or a circulation issue in the system.
Leaking radiators or pipework
Drips from a radiator, valve or pipe. Leaks should be checked promptly to avoid damage to floors and walls.
Cold spots on radiators
Radiators that are hot in one area and cold in another, often down to trapped air or a build-up of sludge.
Faulty thermostats and controls
Heating that comes on at the wrong time, will not switch off or does not respond to the thermostat.
No central heating
The heating will not come on at all. We find out whether the fault is with the boiler, pump, valves or controls.

How do I know if my radiators need repairing or replacing?
It depends on the problem and the age of the radiator. Many issues, such as trapped air, a stuck valve or a minor leak, can be fixed. If a radiator is badly corroded or keeps failing, replacement is usually the better option. We will check it and give you honest advice.
Why are some of my radiators cold in places?
Cold spots are often caused by trapped air at the top of a radiator or a build-up of sludge in the system. A proper diagnosis will show which it is and what will fix it.
Can you install new radiators or upgrade my heating system?
Yes. We install and replace radiators and can upgrade or improve an existing central heating system. We will talk through your home and recommend what suits it.
What is a power flush and do I need one?
A power flush circulates water through the heating system at high flow to help remove sludge and debris. It is not needed for every system. We will tell you honestly whether it is appropriate for yours.
Can you fit new thermostats and smart heating controls?
Yes. We install and upgrade room thermostats, programmers and smart heating controls, so you can manage your heating more easily.
How often should my central heating be maintained?
We recommend having your boiler serviced once a year, and getting any signs of trouble checked early, such as cold radiators, strange noises or pressure problems. See our Boiler Repairs & Servicing page for details.
How much does central heating work cost?
The cost depends on the work, the size of your home and the parts needed. We assess the job first and give you a clear quote before any work begins.
