Trowbridge Plumbers

One of the most frustrating things for homeowners, especially in Winter, is a problem with your central heating. Everyone knows that the basics of central heating concern a boiler, radiators and interconnecting piping. However, when something goes wrong, it’s not always clear where the issue may lie. It’s potentially complicated further by the different methods of plumbing pipework which a Trowbridge plumber may have completed on installation. Whatever system you have, your Trowbridge Plumbers has highly-trained plumbing engineers available to tackle the problem.

Very often, the problem is not in fact with your boiler, but a radiator. The easiest way to tell whether this is the case is to see if your heating is affected in one room, a few or all of them. If all of them are affected by a lack of heating, it’s likely that you have an issue with your boiler. This is of course something a professional Trowbridge Plumbers can assist you with. However, even if it appears to be a boiler issue, there is the chance your radiators may be up the creak too and thus it is still worth checking them.

The most common reason radiators don’t work is due to the presence of trapped air. If this is the case, the likelihood is that you will need to bleed your radiators. This is a relatively simple job to be completed by Trowbridge Plumbers. All you need to do is unscrew the bleed screw until you hear a hissing sound. Once the hissing sound dies away and water starts coming from your radiator, you need to tighten up the screw and you should find your heating working again.

It may be that the whole radiator is cold in which case you should check the valves on both sides of your radiator to ensure both are open to allow water in. If you’re still unsure, you need to call a qualified Trowbridge plumber who can be with you in rapid times and ensure your heating problems are resolved quickly.
