When do you need a Radiators & valves?

This service is needed when you're renovating, extending, replacing old radiators, experiencing cold spots, leaks, or radiators that don't heat up properly. Regular bleeding might be done by homeowners, but a professional can diagnose persistent issues.

What happens on the day

The engineer will isolate the heating system, drain down if necessary, then proceed with the required work, whether that's fitting new radiators, repairing leaks, or replacing valves. They will refill and test the system upon completion to ensure proper function.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the radiators or pipes to be worked on.
  • Ensure access to the boiler and main stopcock.
  • Note down any specific cold spots or issues you've observed.
  • If installing, have the new radiators and valves ready.
  • Ensure pets are secured, especially if water needs draining.

How to improve your result

  • Bleed your radiators regularly to release trapped air and improve efficiency.
  • Consider upgrading to thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) for better temperature control in individual rooms.
  • Ensure your radiators are not blocked by furniture or curtains to allow heat to circulate freely.
  • Flush your heating system periodically to remove sludge and improve performance.

Why it is useful day to day

Efficient radiators and functioning valves ensure your home is consistently warm and comfortable, contributing to lower heating bills and a more pleasant living environment.

Why we ask these questions

Knowing the number of radiators, the type of work needed (e.g., installation, repair, bleed), and any specific issues helps the engineer prepare and allocate sufficient time. Details about existing pipework are also helpful.
