Central Heating Problems We Can Help You Investigate
Radiators staying cold
Heating not turning on
Uneven heating around property
Heating switching off
If one or more radiators are not heating properly, the cause may relate to the radiator, controls, balancing, air in the system or a wider heating fault.
A thermostat, programmer, boiler, power or system fault can prevent the heating from starting. Tell us what happens when you turn the heating on.
If some rooms are warm while others remain cold, the issue may involve the controls, radiators, pipework or how the system is distributing heat.
Repeatedly losing heat can indicate a fault that needs investigation. Note when the system switches off and whether the boiler displays a warning code.
Low heating pressure
Strange radiator noises
Leaking radiators or valves
Repeated heating breakdowns
Low pressure can affect some systems and may return after the system is topped up. If the pressure keeps dropping, the underlying cause should be investigated.
Banging, gurgling, whistling or clicking noises can indicate a problem with the heating system. Tell us when the noise happens and whether performance changed.
Water around a radiator, valve or visible pipe should not be ignored. If safe, turn the heating off, protect the area and contact us with details of the leak.
If the same fault keeps returning, a wider inspection may be needed rather than another temporary reset.

A single cold radiator may have a local issue with its valve, air, circulation or another component. The system may need to be checked to identify the cause.
The cause may involve the boiler, controls, pressure or another part of the heating system. Note any warning code and explain when the system switches off.
