Central Heating Repairs in Kent
Cold radiators? Leaking pipes? Heating not reaching all rooms? Central heating problems are frustrating, especially in winter. I’m here to diagnose and fix the issue – getting your home warm again.
Common Central Heating Problems I Fix
Cold radiators – Often caused by trapped air, sludge buildup, or balancing issues. I’ll bleed your radiators, powerflush the system if needed, or balance the flow to ensure even heating throughout your home.
Some radiators cold, others hot – This usually points to a circulation problem or system imbalance. It’s often a quick fix once diagnosed.
Noisy radiators or pipes – Banging, clicking, or gurgling sounds typically indicate air in the system or water hammer. These can be sorted without replacing any parts in most cases.
Leaking radiators – Whether it’s a valve leak, corroded pipe fitting, or radiator body damage, I’ll identify the source and repair it.
Radiators not heating up – Could be a pump failure, diverter valve issue, or stuck zone valve. I’ll test each component to find the culprit.
Uneven heating – If some rooms get too hot while others stay cold, the system may need balancing or there could be a blockage.
System pressure problems – Constantly having to top up pressure? There’s usually a leak somewhere in the system.
Powerflushing
If your heating system is sluggish, with cold spots on radiators or black water when you bleed them, a powerflush might be the answer. I use professional equipment to clean out years of sludge and debris, restoring proper flow and efficiency to your system.

Proper diagnosis first. I won’t start replacing parts until I know what’s actually wrong. Too many engineers guess and charge you for parts you don’t need.

Yes, I repair all types of central heating leaks including radiator valves, pipe joints, and radiators themselves. I carry common parts in the van for quick repairs.

A powerflush cleans your entire heating system to remove sludge and debris. It's often recommended if you have cold spots on radiators, noisy pipes, or if you're getting a new boiler fitted. I'll tell you honestly if you need one.
