Common Questions — Central Heating Repair in Kingston upon Thames

Some radiators in my Kingston upon Thames home are cold — what's the cause?
Cold radiators are usually caused by air locks (bleed the radiator), sludge build-up blocking the flow (power flush required), or an imbalanced system where some radiators receive more flow than others. Our engineer will diagnose the specific cause on arrival.
My heating comes on but the hot water doesn't work — why?
This is typically a diverter valve or mid-position valve fault. These valves switch the flow between heating and hot water circuits and can stick over time. Replacement usually takes 1–2 hours.
What is magnetite sludge and how does it affect my heating?
Magnetite is black iron oxide sludge that builds up in central heating systems over time. It reduces radiator efficiency, blocks pumps and heat exchangers, and is particularly common in Kingston upon Thames's older properties. A power flush removes it and can significantly improve heating performance.
How do I know if my heating system needs a power flush?
Signs include cold spots on radiators, noisy pump or boiler, slow warm-up times, and dark brown water when bleeding radiators. A power flush is also recommended before installing a new boiler in an existing system.
