Central Heating Repairs in Kent

Cold radiators? Leaking pipes? Heating not reaching all rooms? Central heating problems are frustrating, especially in winter. I’m here to diagnose and fix the issue – getting your home warm again.

Common Central Heating Problems I Fix

Cold radiators – Often caused by trapped air, sludge buildup, or balancing issues. I’ll bleed your radiators, powerflush the system if needed, or balance the flow to ensure even heating throughout your home.

Some radiators cold, others hot – This usually points to a circulation problem or system imbalance. It’s often a quick fix once diagnosed.

Noisy radiators or pipes – Banging, clicking, or gurgling sounds typically indicate air in the system or water hammer. These can be sorted without replacing any parts in most cases.

Leaking radiators – Whether it’s a valve leak, corroded pipe fitting, or radiator body damage, I’ll identify the source and repair it.

Radiators not heating up – Could be a pump failure, diverter valve issue, or stuck zone valve. I’ll test each component to find the culprit.

Uneven heating – If some rooms get too hot while others stay cold, the system may need balancing or there could be a blockage.

System pressure problems – Constantly having to top up pressure? There’s usually a leak somewhere in the system.

Powerflushing

If your heating system is sluggish, with cold spots on radiators or black water when you bleed them, a powerflush might be the answer. I use professional equipment to clean out years of sludge and debris, restoring proper flow and efficiency to your system.
