Radiators
Radiators can be simply seen as a means of distributing heat into a room, or they can be a design feature. Which ever way you look at them, you will notice their absence if they stop working – especially in the winter months. My Plumber has been repairing and installing radiators in West London for the past 10 years.
Replacing and installing a radiator
There are a range of radiator styles available to suit all rooms and budgets, such as slim, traditional, flat, vertical and designer. We can source and supply any style you like.
You may find that your single panel radiator is not heating the room efficiently, so you may decide that a double panel radiator would be more suitable. Or maybe the room is just too large to be heated by a single radiator, therefore requiring the installation of a second radiator or a double radiator.
Our engineers can assess the current system and advise you where extra radiators can be added, and if you are replacing the radiators, if it will be a straight swap or if there will be any adjustments that will be required to the existing pipe work.
Some people like to have thermostatic valves fitted as these can adjust the temperature of the radiator to suit your needs. The best time to do radiator work is during the warmer months.
Removing radiators for decorating
If you are having a room decorated, many people choose to have the radiators removed temporarily until the wall has been painted. This means that the decorating job can be finished properly. In this situation, we would come to your property and remove the necessary radiators ready for decorating and then return after the walls have been painted to refit them. At this point you may decide to fit new Thermostatic Radiator Valves (TRV's).
Repairing a radiator
There are several faults that can effect radiators, some more costly than others.
Over time, your radiators can become blocked with sludge that can impede the efficiency of the radiators. A powerflush can usually fix this by forcing the sludge out with high pressure water.
If the radiator is warm at the bottom, yet cold at the top, it is likely that there is a build up of air that needs releasing. This can be done by bleeding the radiator while the central heating is turned off. Call us and we can send you a free radiator key.
Replacing the valves for TRVs is a simple job that will give you greater control over the heat output of the radiator. TRV's control the temperature of the room by regulating the flow of hot water to the radiator.
If a radiator has a hole in it, then the radiator must be replaced. You may find that this is cheaper than you think and you can also replace the valves for TRVs at the same time.
