Having Problems with your Heating System? Power Flush them Away.

As a qualified heating engineer, I know that from time to time boilers and heating systems can throw up a few problems. Chances are you’ll have experienced at least one of these over the years: cold spots, strange sounds, radiators tasking an age to heat up or not being fully warm.

Although common problems, it doesn’t make them any less annoying. Thankfully there are solutions. It’s likely that, if your radiators do not heat up, it could be because there is a build-up of sludge in the system.

Power Flush it All Away

One of the best ways to get to the root of a heating problem and fix it for good is through power flushing. What a power flush does is give your whole system a good clear out. Using my specialist power flushing equipment and just the right blend of chemicals, I can remove all the bad materials causing the problems.

You really will notice the difference after a power flush as your boiler will perform to its full capacity and your radiators will be fully warm, and not at all noisy.

Power Flush your way to a warmer home by giving me a call at Bates Plumbing and Heating today. Remember, if you ignore heating problems, they only get worse.

Plumbing - Why Do it Yourself when We Can Do it For You?

With another bank holiday approaching, thoughts of DIY are probably creeping in and you could be thinking you’ll get another round in before the year is out. Maybe you’ll attempt to sort out that blocked sink or you’ll try and see what’s stopping your toilet from flushing properly.

Whilst there is nothing wrong with having a go, the simple fact of the matter is that in most cases you’ll be able to fix the problem temporarily, but in a week’s time you’ll just be facing the same issue again, and maybe this time it’ll be worse than it was before. Instead of going round in circles, why not get a professional London plumber in to fix it permanently?

Plus, by calling in a London plumber, you can avoid some of the most common DIY plumbing disasters we see, like instead of unblocking the sink flooding the kitchen, or damaging the pipes whilst trying to fix the toilet.

Avoid undertaking any plumbing work if you are not qualified. Many homeowners think they can save a few quid by having a go themselves. But at the end of the day, just think about how much more it will cost to call out an emergency London plumber to deal with disasters.

Here at Bates my team uses specialist equipment to identify underlying problems, most of which can be fixed there and then on the spot – safely – and permanently. We always go for the long term fix which is far more cost effective.

So forget the DIY this next bank holiday, and call in a London plumber instead. Why spend time slogging away under the sink when you could be sitting in the garden enjoying the last long weekend of the year?
