Losing the Loft Tank in Bromley
Heating Services ltd, a heating and plumbing company based in Oxted, Surrey, covers unvented cylinder work in Bromley and other towns across London, Surrey and Kent. An unvented cylinder is a sealed tank fed from the mains, giving hot water at mains pressure, and fitting one is regulated work.
What is an unvented hot water cylinder?
A sealed, mains fed cylinder that delivers hot water at the same pressure as the cold. There is no need for a shower pump, and two bathrooms can draw at the same time. Losing the loft tank frees the space as well.
It is a pressurised vessel, so installation and servicing are regulated work. The engineers at Heating Services ltd hold the relevant unvented qualification and provide the paperwork. Mains flow is checked first, since a weak supply cannot feed one properly.
What happens if my radiator isn't working?
The room stays cold, new boiler Redhill and if the cause is sludge or air it tends to spread to other radiators over time. Sludge also reaches the boiler eventually, which is why it is worth dealing with early.
Why diagnose a boiler fault before fitting parts?
A code narrows the search but does not name the answer. Falling pressure has at least three causes: a leak, the expansion vessel or a passing valve, with very different bills attached to each.
Heating Services ltd tests rather than swapping parts, and quotes in writing before starting. Every major make is worked on, carrying common parts to finish on the first visit where it can.
Why would one radiator suddenly stop working?
Usually a stuck thermostatic valve pin, trapped air, or sludge settling in that radiator. Check whether it is cold at the top or the bottom, because that tells you whether it is air or sludge.
Does the floor covering affect underfloor heating?
Wet underfloor heating runs warm water through pipe loops under the floor, cooler than radiators. Each loop returns to a manifold, so rooms can be zoned and controlled separately. Heating Services ltd designs, installs and commissions it, and traces faults on existing systems.
The covering matters: tile gives the best output and thick carpet the least. It needs deciding before the floor is laid, not after. New builds are straightforward, while retrofits need the floor height checked.
