Question 1

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 2

What should I do if I smell gas in my home?

Accepted Answer

If you smell gas or suspect a leak, you should immediately open doors and windows to ventilate the area, turn off the gas supply at the meter (if safe to do so), avoid using any electrical switches, naked flames, or phones inside the property, leave the property, and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 immediately. Once the emergency has been handled, contact us during working hours for any follow-up repair work.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

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

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 Wallbank home is worth having checked.

Question 5

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 6

Is a central heating check the same as a boiler service?

Accepted Answer

No. A boiler service covers the boiler itself, while a central heating check looks at radiators, valves, pipework and the existing filter across the whole system. We can assess both together so nothing in the system gets missed.

Question 7

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 8

What happens during a central heating system check?

Accepted Answer

We assess your radiators, valves, pipework and existing filter to find exactly where heat is being lost before recommending anything. Once we know what the system needs, we give you a fixed quote, so you know the full cost before any work begins.

Question 9

Are your prices fixed or do you charge by the hour?

Accepted Answer

Wherever possible we provide a fixed, written quote before work begins, covering installations, servicing and most plumbing jobs, so there are no surprises on the day. This is confirmed after a free survey or an honest phone conversation about the job.

Question 10

Do I legally need a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate (CP12)?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if you are a landlord renting out a property with gas appliances in England and Wales, you are legally required to have a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) issued annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer. This applies to all gas boilers, gas fires, gas cookers, and any other gas appliances. Failure to comply can result in fines of up to 6,000, pounds prosecution, and even imprisonment. We provide prompt certificates for landlords and letting agents across Colne and the surrounding Lancashire area.
