Question 1

How long has Spencer Jordan Plumbing and Heating been trading?

Accepted Answer

We were founded in 2014, giving us 10+ years of experience looking after central heating systems, including many in and around Slaidburn. We also hold a 5.0 average from 18 genuine Google reviews.

Question 2

How often should I have my boiler serviced?

Accepted Answer

We strongly recommend having your boiler serviced annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Regular servicing ensures your boiler operates safely and efficiently, helps prevent unexpected breakdowns, keeps your manufacturer's warranty valid, and can extend the lifespan of your boiler by several years. An annual service typically takes around 30-45 minutes and includes safety checks, efficiency testing and a visual inspection of key components.

Question 3

How much can I save by upgrading to a new boiler?

Accepted Answer

Upgrading from an old, inefficient boiler to a modern A-rated condensing boiler can save you hundreds of pounds a year on your energy bills, depending on your current boiler's age and efficiency. We will give you an honest estimate of the likely savings for your specific property during a free survey, rather than a generic figure.

Question 4

Can you add a new radiator to my existing system in Slaidburn?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can add radiators to extend heating into conservatories, extensions or previously unheated rooms in your Slaidburn home. We check first that your boiler and system have the capacity to support the addition properly before fitting it.

Question 5

What does a banging or kettling boiler noise mean?

Accepted Answer

Banging or kettling noises usually mean sludge or debris has built up around the heat exchanger or in the system, restricting flow. It is often resolved with a powerflush, though we always check the system first before recommending one.

Question 6

What are TRVs and why would I want them?

Accepted Answer

Thermostatic radiator valves let you set an individual temperature for each radiator, so you are not heating rooms you rarely use to the same level as the rest of the house. They are a simple, low-cost way to improve comfort and control running costs.

Question 7

What areas do you cover from Colne?

Accepted Answer

We are based in Colne (BB8) and cover Burnley and the Pendle area, plus surrounding towns and villages within around 10 miles, including Trawden, Barnoldswick, Nelson, Barrowford, Foulridge and Skipton. If you are not sure whether we cover your area, give us a call and we will let you know.

Question 8

Do you maintain central heating for landlords in Slaidburn?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We install, repair and maintain central heating systems for landlords as well as homeowners across Slaidburn and Lancashire, with a fixed quote agreed before any work starts so costs are clear for rental properties.

Question 9

How do I bleed a radiator myself safely?

Accepted Answer

Turn off your heating first, then use a radiator key to slowly open the bleed valve at the top corner until water, not air, flows out steadily, then close it. If you are not confident, or it does not clear the cold spots, get in touch.

Question 10

Why are my radiators cold at the bottom but hot at the top?

Accepted Answer

This usually means sludge or debris has settled at the bottom of the radiator, restricting water flow. A powerflush is typically the right fix rather than repeatedly bleeding it, which will not clear a sludge build-up.
