Heating work

Heating work we do in Whitchurch.

We work on all kinds of central heating systems in Whitchurch, from a combi boiler with a handful of radiators to larger homes with a hot water cylinder. The full picture is on our heating page.

Heating repairs

When the heating system misbehaves: a boiler losing pressure, radiators cold at the bottom, noisy pipes or a thermostat that does not respond. We find the fault, fix it and explain what caused it.

Servicing and maintenance

An annual boiler service and a look over the rest of the system catch problems before they become breakdowns. Older heating systems can also need a flush to clear sludge.

Radiator installs

New and replacement radiators sized to the room, from standard panels to designer verticals. More on radiator installs.

Controls and thermostats

Smart thermostats, programmers and thermostatic radiator valves, set up so the heating system runs when you need it and not when you do not. Controls that match the way the house is actually used are one of the simpler ways to make a heating system more energy efficient.

New heating installations

From a boiler swap to a complete central heating system, including underfloor heating where it suits the property. Every heating installation is sized to the home, not to a rule of thumb.

Left clean

Dust sheets down, old parts taken away, and the heating system refilled, bled and checked before we go.

  4. Step 4: The work

    Repaired or installed, then tested, balanced and handed back with the controls explained.

Common questions

Questions about heating in Whitchurch.

Something else on your mind? Ask when we call you back, or ring 01256 805 164.

Usually sludge settling in the radiator, which a flush and a magnetic filter deal with. Cold at the top usually means air, which bleeding the radiator lets out. If it keeps coming back, the heating system needs looking at properly.

Most often there is a leak somewhere on the heating system, such as a weeping radiator valve, or the pressure relief valve is letting water out. Topping it up hides the problem rather than fixing it, so it is worth having it traced.

Yes. We replace boilers, radiators and controls, and install complete heating systems, including underfloor heating where it suits. If the plan is to improve energy efficiency rather than to fix a fault, say so when you call, because the controls, the radiator sizes and the pipework all matter alongside the boiler. We look at the property first and recommend what will work, not the biggest option.

Yes. We are Gas Safe registered, so boilers and gas appliances are covered, and we handle plumbing as well. See our gas engineer in Whitchurch and plumber in Whitchurch pages.
