Our Services

Central heating repair

Central heating repair covers cold radiators, noisy pipes, leaks and a system that will not fire up. We test the boiler, pump, valves and controls to find the real cause rather than guessing at it. Most faults are sorted on the first visit. There is more on our central heating repair page.

Power flushing

Sludge builds up inside radiators and pipes over the years. It blocks the flow, leaves cold patches at the bottom of radiators and makes the boiler work harder than it should. Power flushing pushes that debris out and gets the heat moving again. See the power flushing page for how it works.

Central heating care plan

A central heating care plan spreads the cost of cover across the year. It includes the annual service and support when something goes wrong, so you are not hit with a bill you did not plan for in the middle of winter. The care plan page sets out what is covered.

Heating engineers

Our heating engineers work on radiators, pipework, cylinders, pumps and controls, not only boilers. If your system is unbalanced, slow to warm up or noisy, an engineer can trace it back to the cause. Find out more on the heating engineers page.

Electric boiler repair

Electric boilers have no gas and no flue, but they still fail. The usual causes are the heating element, the thermostat, the pressure vessel or a supply that keeps tripping. We test each part in turn and replace only what has failed. More detail is on the electric boiler repair page.

Oil boiler repair

Oil boilers are common in the villages outside Godalming where there is no gas main. Lockouts, sooty burners and blocked nozzles are the usual problems. A service and a clean often puts it right. The oil boiler repair page explains what we check.

Frequently asked questions

What is included in a central heating service in Godalming?

A central heating service checks the boiler, controls, pressure, flue and safety devices, then looks at the radiators and pipework for cold spots or leaks. We clean what needs cleaning and report anything wearing out. You get a written record at the end. Servicing also keeps most manufacturer warranties valid.

How often should central heating be serviced in a Godalming home?

Once a year is the usual advice, and most manufacturers require it to keep the warranty in place. Autumn is a sensible time, before the heating goes on properly. Landlords need a gas safety check every twelve months as well, and we can do both on the same visit.

Why are my radiators cold at the bottom in my Godalming home?

Cold at the bottom usually means sludge has settled inside the radiator. Cold at the top usually means trapped air, which bleeding will fix. Sludge needs a power flush to clear it properly. If several radiators in the house do the same thing, the whole system is likely affected.
