Central heating
Heating work around the boiler
Central heating covers everything your boiler feeds: the radiators, the pipes that reach them and the controls that decide when they run. Most of these jobs happen alongside a boiler change, when the system is already open.
New radiators
Old radiators fill with sludge and leave cold patches at the bottom. Sometimes a system clean fixes it; sometimes a radiator has simply had its day.
New radiators are sized to each room, so every room gets the heat it needs.
Heating controls
A programmer, a room thermostat and thermostatic radiator valves let you heat the rooms you use, when you use them.
Separate zones let upstairs and downstairs, or an extension, run on their own schedules.
A full central heating system
A home without central heating needs a planned system: the heat each room loses, a radiator sized for each one, the pipe routes and a boiler to match.
Agree up front what gets lifted and what gets made good afterwards.
Doing it with a new boiler
If your boiler is being replaced, it is the easiest time to change radiators and controls too, because the system is already drained and open. See boiler installation for what the boiler side involves.

FAQ
Central heating questions
Common questions about radiators, controls and new systems.
Can't find your question? Contact us
Can radiators be added to my system?
Often, yes. It depends on whether the boiler output and pipe sizes have room to spare, which is the first thing the installer checks.
Why is one radiator always cold at the bottom?
A cold bottom usually means sludge has settled in the radiator. A cold top usually means trapped air, which bleeding the radiator releases.
Do I need a power flush?
Not always. The installer checks the system water and the radiators first. Sometimes a chemical clean and a magnetic filter are enough.
Should I upgrade the controls with a new boiler?
Usually, yes. The system is already open, and the new boiler decides what the controls can do.
