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.
Who is allowed to fit an unvented cylinder?
An unvented cylinder is a sealed boiler installation in Orpington tank fed from the mains, giving hot water at mains pressure. Showers on upper floors work without a pump, and two bathrooms can run at once. The loft tank goes, which frees up the roof space.
Being a pressurised vessel, it may only be fitted and serviced under the rules. Heating Services ltd engineers hold the unvented qualification and leave the paperwork with you. The mains flow is tested first, because the cylinder is only as good as the supply.
What happens if my radiator isn't working?
The room stays cold, 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?
The code on the display points to an area, not to a part. Pressure loss, for example, can be a leak, a failed 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, and common parts are carried to fix on the first visit where possible.
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.
How does wet underfloor heating work?
Wet underfloor heating runs warm water through pipe loops under the floor, cooler than radiators. Every loop feeds back to a manifold, which lets each room run as its own zone. Design, installation and fault finding on existing systems are all Heating Services ltd work.
Stone and tile conduct heat well, while heavy carpet resists it. The design has to account for that before the screed goes down. New builds are straightforward, while retrofits need the floor height checked.
