More Information

Cold at the Top or Cold at the Bottom

A radiator cold at the top has air trapped in it and bleeding will fix it. Cold at the bottom means sludge has settled inside and it needs flushing. Knowing which one you have tells you whether it is a five minute job or a bigger one.

Balancing a Whole System

If the radiators nearest the boiler are scorching and the far ones stay lukewarm, the system needs balancing. We adjust the lockshield valves so hot water is shared evenly. It costs nothing in parts and often transforms how a house heats.

Leaking Valves and Rusty Radiators

Drips from a valve usually need a new gland or a replacement valve, both quick jobs. A radiator leaking from the panel itself has rusted through from the inside and needs replacing. We can supply and fit a matching one the same day.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I bleed my radiators in Tooting?

Once a year is plenty for most homes, ideally in autumn before the heating goes on properly. Bleed them more often if you notice cold patches at the top. If air keeps returning within weeks, something is drawing air into the system and needs investigating.

Why is one radiator cold when the others are hot?

The likely causes are trapped air at the top, sludge settled in the bottom, a stuck thermostatic valve, or a system that has never been balanced. Feel where the cold is: top means air, bottom means sludge, cold all over usually means a valve.

Can you replace a radiator without draining the whole system?

Often yes. If the radiator has working valves at both ends, we can isolate it, remove it and fit the new one without draining everything. That saves time and avoids refilling and rebleeding the whole house. Older systems without isolating valves may need draining.
