Question 1

Which boiler brands do you install and recommend?

Accepted Answer

As a Baxi Approved Installer, we specialise in Baxi boilers and can offer extended warranties of up to 10 years. Baxi produce highly reliable, energy-efficient boilers with excellent value for money. We can also install other leading brands such as Worcester Bosch and Vaillant if required, and will recommend the best boiler for your home based on your property size, hot water demands, and budget rather than pushing a single brand.

Question 2

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.

Question 3

Will a powerflush damage an older system?

Accepted Answer

A powerflush is a standard, well-established maintenance procedure, but on a very old or already fragile system there is a small risk of exposing existing weak points. We always assess your system first and are upfront if we think a gentler approach is more appropriate.

Question 4

How do I know my central heating needs a powerflush?

Accepted Answer

Common signs include radiators cold at the top or bottom even after bleeding, rooms that never reach a comfortable temperature, banging noises from the boiler, or black sludgy water when you bleed a radiator. Any of these in a Thorney Holme home is worth having checked.

Question 5

Do you offer free quotes and estimates?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we provide free, no-obligation surveys and fixed written quotes for boiler installations, central heating work, and most plumbing jobs, so you know the full cost before agreeing to any work.

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

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

Accepted Answer

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

Question 8

Do you offer emergency call-outs?

Accepted Answer

We operate Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm, and do not offer emergency call-outs or weekend work. We do prioritise urgent boiler breakdowns and aim to attend as quickly as possible during our working hours. For a true gas emergency (smell of gas or suspected leak), contact the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 immediately.

Question 9

What is a powerflush and do I need one?

Accepted Answer

A powerflush forces cleaning fluid through your heating system at high velocity to remove built-up sludge, rust and debris. If radiators run cold in patches, or the boiler makes banging or kettling noises, it is often the recommended first step before any other work.

Question 10

Are your central heating quotes free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We provide free quotes with no obligation to book. We assess your system, explain what it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing, so there is no pressure and no surprise costs for homes in Thorney Holme.
