Question 1

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 2

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 3

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 4

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 5

Do I always need a new boiler if some rooms stay cold?

Accepted Answer

No. Cold rooms and uneven radiators are often a central heating problem, not a boiler fault, and a powerflush, a new magnetic filter or some balancing is frequently a far cheaper fix. We always recommend the proportionate solution first.

Question 6

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

Accepted Answer

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

Do you give a fixed price before starting work in Wycoller?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every central heating job is quoted as a fixed price once we have assessed your Wycoller property, so you know the full cost before anything begins. There is no obligation to book after the quote.

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

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.
