Bishop's Stortford Plumbing & Heating COMPANIES FAQ
Its good practice to have a yearly service carried out on your boiler.

New boilers do have fail safe devices built into them but it’s always a good idea to catch any potential issues early on to prevent a boiler breakdown or costly repairs that could have been avoided.

Do some of your radiators not fully heat up?
Does your radiator feel cold at the top? This can be due to air that has built up and, in a lot of cases, can simply be removed using a bleed key. It is a simple process for someone with basic DIY skills and just a case of opening up the bleed point. Releasing the air and then closing it off. If you have a pressurised heating system, it may, however, mean that you will need to top up the pressure at the same time.
Cold spots in the middle of the radiator or at the bottom can be due to sludge and debris buildup. We can a lot of the time remove all of this by power flushing the system.
Doing this will not only improve the heat output of the radiators but will mean the life of the internal components of your central heating system should be extended too. We can also fit a Magnetic filter at the same time, which will collect and future debris buildup.
