Cold radiators in Loughton? Boiler repairs sorted properly

One radiator cold? Bottom cold and top hot, or top cold and bottom hot? Each tells you something different about what's wrong. We diagnose by touch and by pressure, not by guesswork — and we fix it without changing your boiler if we don't need to. Most Loughton repair callouts we diagnose and fix on the first visit — common parts (PRVs, diverters, pumps, PCBs) live on the van.

boiler repairs in Loughton: questions we get a lot

Top cold, bottom hot — what's that?

Air in the radiator. Usually a 30-second bleed sorts it. If the same radiator keeps re-airing, you may have a slow leak or a corrosion gas problem.

Bottom cold, top hot — what's that?

Sludge build-up at the bottom of the radiator. Often fixable with a powerflush or a dose of system cleaner. Whole-system sludge usually means a powerflush is the right call.

Do you charge a callout fee?

We charge a clear diagnostic fee (told to you upfront before we attend). It covers proper on-site diagnosis. The repair itself is then quoted as a fixed price you agree before any work starts.

How fast can you come out?

We aim for same-day on no-heat and no-hot-water situations. Tell us when you call if anyone elderly or with young children is in the property — we prioritise.
