Common questions about heating upgrades in Leaden Roding

Is it dangerous to keep topping up?

Not immediately — but the cause needs finding. Repeated top-ups mean fresh oxygenated water keeps entering the system, which corrodes radiators and pumps from the inside.

Where do hidden leaks usually hide?

Pressure relief valve discharging outside, perished pump seals, pinhole leaks at radiator valves, or a failing expansion vessel. Each one has a different fix.

How much does a power flush cost?

Typically £450–£750 depending on system size and number of radiators. We give a fixed price after a quick survey.

Will a smart thermostat actually save money?

Yes — typically 8–12% off heating bills if you use the scheduling and zone features properly. Hive and Nest both pay back inside two years for most households.
