Work Beyond the Boiler

A lot of heating problems sit in the system rather than the boiler. Sticking valves, an undersized pump, a badly balanced circuit or a failing cylinder will all leave rooms cold while the boiler runs fine. Our engineers test the whole system, not just the appliance.

Radiators, Valves and Balancing

If the rooms nearest the boiler roast and the far ones stay cool, the system needs balancing. That means adjusting the valve on each radiator so the flow is shared properly. It is a simple job that makes a noticeable difference, and it costs nothing to run afterwards.

Controls and Thermostats

Old controls waste money. A modern room thermostat, thermostatic radiator valves and a proper timer let you heat the rooms you use when you use them. We fit them, set them up, and show you how they work before we leave.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a heating engineer in Godalming do that a plumber does not?

A heating engineer works on the whole heating system, including gas appliances, and must be Gas Safe registered to touch a gas boiler. A plumber deals with water supply, waste and fittings. There is overlap on pipework and leaks, but gas work is legally restricted to registered engineers.

Can heating engineers fix cold rooms in an older Godalming house?

Usually yes. Cold rooms in older properties often come from long pipe runs, an unbalanced system or radiators sized for a smaller boiler. We measure the flow and temperature at each radiator, then balance, clear or resize as needed rather than replacing everything.

Do your heating engineers cover Farncombe and Busbridge?

Yes. Farncombe sits just north of Godalming and Busbridge just south, so both are a few minutes from our base. We also cover Binscombe, Ockford Ridge, Charterhouse, Eashing and Peasmarsh, as well as Milford, Witley, Elstead, Bramley and Wonersh.
